Hmmm, why hasn't anyone posted any photos for me? Is this a bad idea? I was worried it might result in a "cold" feeling in the bathroom. Any thoughts? Should I just stick with basic subway tile, in my 1876 house?

Thanks.

Just to help you bump this up- I have seen a few that have posted carrera subway in the shower/tub surround- I can't recall who, though. I thought it looked great, and I think it could certainly keep with the period.

You could worry about the marble matching or not- it likely won't be the same exactly, so that depends on your tolerance for that. I had stone from numerous sources, but it really really didn't bother me that they were not perfect matches- the cost for me was prohibitive, so the whole design would have to have changed.
As long as they are not right up against each other...

Someone may remember who has recently done that tile...

cambreno-- It's not that it's a bad idea. Matter of fact, I'm thinking seriously about doing my own guest bath in carrara subway tile, using either blue pearl or black galaxy granites for accents (not sure which yet). The reason I haven't posted pics is because I don't have any! Nor do I remember anyone in here posting pics of a bathroom done in them. I've seen plenty of kitchen backsplashes with them, but nothing on this side of THS. :-) Don't be discouraged, though. For what it's worth, your post is what made up my mind as to what I wanted to do!

Not sure if this is mrs.limestone's bath or who it belongs to, but here are some photos of carrara subways. i saved it b/c i think it looks very pretty --and appropriate for a Victorian, I would think. (our house is 1866, so we're also trying for vintage classic look.)

Wow! That bathroom looks amazing.

jeanninepc99 also has a beautiful marble bath. She posted in this forum about her tile problems, but her finished photos were linked in the Small Homes forum, in this thread: (Scroll down to see the link.)

Thanks, everyone, for the photos and the encouragement. The links to the photos were just what I was looking for. (If anyone has more, keep them coming, please...) I'm going to the tile store in the next hour, so the timing is perfect.

Thank you again!

I have a bath with carrera subway tile and white subway tile. I am going to attempt to post both. The bathrooms aren't finished yet.

I have just finished my Carrera marble project, I used 6x12" and 12x12" on the floor. I also used 1x2" Carrera Basketweave as a mosaic accent on the floor and on the shower wall. We bought 200SF and shipping for under $1,800. The tile was from Venato Carrera and the Basketweave from the same company so it matched Venato Carrera only $11.95 for the Basketweave and $7.00SF for the 6x12".

Mary-- how were they to deal with? Did you deal with them thru the net, or off line?

This is the one I was thinking of that I couldn't remember whose it was... I really like it a lot, they did a great job. I think the look would go nicely in a Victorian!

Hee hee! Most of the pictures you get when you search Flickr for pictures are mine. Here's a direct link to the photos albums I have related to decorating/remodels. There are a few that contain tile pictures.
