I have fallen in love with AKDOs heavy rain marble tile series. The one I want is the Carrara Bella, which even with the best discount is going to be way out of my budget. I love that it has some honed and some polished, so it glimmers in the light, and I love the fresh light airy feel and it has some grays and browns. I've looked for a subsitute, but can't seem to find one. I wouldn't mind a thicker staggered strip (heavy rain has very small strips), but I still have yet to find one. Any help from you seasoned tile searchers would be appreciated!
