2012 July 02 | Beneath My Heart

I wanted to show you a couple of purchases we’ve made for our master bathroom.

About a month ago, I went to The Tile Shop to pick out some tile for the floor in our walk in shower.

I feel in love with White Carrera Marble Hexagon tile! It’s exactly what I wanted but it was out of our budget. I called Cy and told him in a super sweet voice that I had found exactly what I wanted for our shower.

When I told him the price, he said “Um, no.” But after I sadly and pathetically told him that there was nothing else in the whole store that I liked at all, he told me to go ahead and get it.

I love how my man tries to make me happy. Smile

However, when I got home with my beautiful new tile…reality set in. Cy regretted “giving in” to my desperate plead, and he told me we were going to have to return the tile.

Phoo-ey!

Sooo, I returned the tile a few days later and started looking at Lowe’s and Home Depot for something similar.

I tried, y’all.

I really did.

But I found nothin’.

Nothing that was really going to give me that look I was after.

So I started searching online to find some carrera marble that was less expensive. The best price I could find was on Amazon.

{Now, if you know of a place that I could have gotten it even cheaper, please do not tell me. It would be like adding salt to my wounds.}

It was about $5.00 less a square foot, but still a little more than we wanted to pay. But when you do all the work yourself on a home, it sometimes leaves a little room to spend money on a “splurge.” At least that is what I am telling myself.

The tile came in this week, and we hope to start installing it soon. The carrera marble will be on the floor and white subway tiles will be on the walls of our shower.
