| AO catarina and Daltile navelli star are not available right now. Poop.
My flooring store gave me a sample of some off brand. The pattern is ok but the pattern doesn't go all the way to the edges of the tile and I don't like that. Any other good alternatives?? |

| GW member VictoriaElizabeth used a nice one; it's Peronda Museum, 18x18, polished, porcelain, bianca carrara. You can read more about it on her gw post titled "My Marble Tile Lookalike Recommendation". I've posted a link to it below. The tile has subtle grey veining which I think is elegant. I'm sure there are other good choices out there too; best of luck in your search. |

| Thanks. I saw Victoria's post and her tile is unquestionably goreous! I forgot to mention I am looking for a honed look though. any other ideas? |
|
| Iris US Marmi Statuario.. available in honed and polished. Porcelanosa also has a few. |
|
| Home Depot has a 12x12 and I think 18x18 honed ceramic that looks pretty good to me. I think on the website the manufacturer is called US Tile, but I found it in the store. I went to the DalTile showroom today and brought home a sample of Navelli Star, which is still available. As people said when comparing the AO Catarina with the Navelli, the Home Depot tile was cooler - sort of more blue - while the Navelli seemed slightly creamier. As far as veining, they are almost identical. I also visited American Olean, and the distribution center in Seattle just sold the last of the Catarina Coliseum about a week ago :( |

| Yes, the Navelli is gone from their website, has been for about the same length of time that the AO Catarina has been gone from the AO site. |
|
| I'm choosing American Olean Carrera in polished porcelain for our shower. The sample is quite beautiful. Not sure if there is a honed but it'd be worth checking out... |
|
| In a different post I said we were choosing AO Catarina for our Master Bath. It's a new build, and won't be ready until late spring next year. I asked the designer, and she said that yes, it is discontinued, but AO is making a different version and we will be okay. So, don't know if that's helpful or not, but seems like AO will have a new product soon. |

| I ordered some today from a local floor store. They were able to get the 12x12 out of Dallas. Said they had 3000 SF left... I only took 85 so there should still be some :). I wanted 18x18 but went with the smaller because I love this tile. |
