PrincessMommy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 We have to re-tile our bathroom and I'm trying to save a little $$ where possible. We also have a local Habitat for Humanity re-Store (woo hoo!). I was there yesterday and they had about 15 unopened boxes of 6x6 tile in a nice matte almond color for $8 a box! I need 7. They didn't have any of the bulnose tiles that I'd need for the edges. I was thinking of going to Lowes or HomeDepot and getting something similar to use on the edges... is that possible?? It doesn't have to be the same color - maybe an accent color. I figure I need to find something that is similar in thickness for sure, but is there anything else I should look for. Can I mix and match from different companies. I only bought one box so I can take a tile to the store to match it up as best as possible. If I can do it I'll go buy more boxes of tiles.

Cricket Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 We recently retiled our bathroom. We bought a bunch of tile from Craigslist. It had a mottled pattern. We were able to find a very close matching bullnose tile at a big flooring store. You could probably find something that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
