That's penny round tile, not hex, so if you search for penny round you may have more luck. Try Nemo Tile or Luxe tile, I think they have some penny round. So does Ann Sacks.

Do I understand you had chosen the hex version of the pictured tile? Is the penny round available? Why not use that? I think hex is very typical for a bathroom floor so if you were looking for "unexpected," penny round would fit the bill better anyway.

Yes, I realize that is the penny round. It was the only picture I had of either tile. I even mention it was the penny round version. I was purchasing the hex. Neither are available.

We are not fans of the penny rounds. Hence the hex. It may be typical for bathrooms but I've never seen a bathroom done in hex in the area I live in so hence the unexpected comment.

Have you looked on houzz? Pictures there often have some source information. Maybe you will see another hex tile you like?

Sorry I missed part of the explanation. These are all of Luxe Tiles hex, so you have to sort through but maybe they have a ceramic that would work.

Is this tile what we're trying to match for you? Moss Hex 3/4" from Fired Earth Ceramics?

Not sure these will interest you, but here are some options.

Oooh, beverly, I love that green hex tile! Not much blue in it for OP, but I think it's very pretty. Perhaps there is something like that in more of a blue shade? I kind of like that penny round tile, too, but I have no idea what something like that looks like installed. Sorry, I'm no help... I just had to comment on that pretty green tile!

This tile comes in many colors. I have no idea of price, but believe it is custom made for you so it is not in stock. I have never done business with the Complete Tile Collection. Located in Manhattan, maybe some else has dealt with them. The tile is 3/8" thick and matte finish which is wonderful for floor tile. They claim is it a lower price line.

I feel for you- that's beautiful tile. Ann Sacks has a penny round in a close color palette. The hex from this series doesn't seem to come in this color though, but I find their web site hard to navigate so I may have just missed it. Maybe you could call and ask? It's ceramic tile from the savoy collection.

Yes Beverly that's the tile! It's greenish online but a little more blue in person.

Sorry if my comments early came off snippy, frustrated brain was well frustrated. I appreciate the help. The hex has a special connection for DH and I so I really wanted that. The penny's would work but not what made me happiest.

Limestone hexagon tile which might look nice with your fabric. Same store, but this is in stock. You should also know that marble mosaic floor is easy to install and live with. I have installed both ceramic thin Dal tile from Lowes in a basement bathroom and marble basket weave from Home Depot in a condo bath. The thin Dal tile gave me more trouble than the thicker marble, though the marble was more expensive.

>> The shower tile I've had picked out for 3 years while saving for this remodel

I feel exactly the same way about Belgian Chocolate while in the Vegas M&M store.

One of my half dozen big regrets on remodeling this house is that we didn't order enough of one particular porcelain tile to do the whole house eventually. We figured it sold so well that it would always be a hot item available instantly. Hah!

The tile industry apparently does not think like the rest of humanity. Now I never even plan to look at tile if I'm not ready to buy.

:( I have that fear about my finishes, so I am starting to order things even though I am not ready for them yet.

What about this hex tile? It looks similar.

I like Rebecca's tile from WATERWORKS best. Even better than the original selection.

This brown tile might be worth researching. It obviously is not the right color, but it is a glazed ceramic.

Here are two other companies that do handmade glazed ceramic hex tiles, and you can customize the colors.

Lots of good info. I'll check them out tomorrow while the cabinet guys are here! Hopefully I can find something.

I started planning the sequence for three bath remodels when I bought my house and in two years, three bathtubs,two toilets, a shower receptor, two entire fixture colors and the option of one color on some of the fixtures I was planning on using were all discontinued. (Toto, Kohler, and American Standard). A key tile trim piece was discontinued between the time I picked the tile and the order was placed a few weeks later. One of the toilets was discontinued quickly like that too...some of these things were still in the current offerings on the website.

Rebecca's suggestion is gorgeous but I think it's marble? Ming Green is what the website says.

Is marble really as much as a maintenance nightmare as I read?

Marble is not a nightmare so long as it is not near food. Using it on the floor and walls of the shower is a natural.

I've just read so many negatives that I'm hesitant. I'm off to do some more research.

Just a word about penny tile: grout! There is a lot more exposed grout when using it, which means more cleaning, particularly in humid parts of the country.

I spent 3 days cleaning my mom's before putting her house on the market.
