we're most likely going to get tile or slate when we upgrade our vivs. i havent been to the local hardware store lately so im just wondering.. how much sq. ft and what price have you got your tile for
im not sure if there is one near you but you might try a flooring remnants store. they have all sorts of odd & ends from completed jobs. its not like they're broken or odd shaped pieces, just that there werent enough left for any real job(bathroom, kitchen).
