I've seen web pics that look beautiful (google images). I'm trying to locate travertine pavers (larger sizes) in the Houston area. I'd appreciate any leads.

I think Noble tile has a branch in Houston, I got my travertine from them in north Texas. I have travertine 16 x 16 on my deck, in a regular pattern (considering my deck was sloped for an overlay before pulled the trigger on the travertine, and I absolutely love it. I am computer stupid but I will try to get some pics posted.

16"x16" Gold tumbled travertine pavers in a brickwork square pattern.

Here is a link that might be useful: 16

I don't think there is any reason to shy away from a 'regular' pattern. The french pattern has actually become so popular (I see it everywhere) that standard 12x12s or 16x16s have started to look much more original!

There is a picture of an installed 16x16 walnut travertine paver on the website below. The picture is towards the bottom of the page with the bamboo.
