We are doing a face lift due to deteriorating flagstone... anyway, I think we have our choices picked out after what seems like a million tile store trips and many changing minds... on my part. What do ya think?

stonescapes mini pebble tropics blue (may customize), Mastertile Oxford, Walnut travertine bullnose for raised wall and spa surround

Still need to choose toe accent tile.... there is one that matches oxford, but it may blend too much with mini pebble so I am still figuring that out. I also don't have a little sample of mini pebble yet... but hoping to get one monday morning.

Thanks! KIM

That water line tile is VERY pretty!!! What I would do is have them cut them into fourths THEN turn them on the point and space them out to make the purrfect match to your water line time on a smaller scale! They will be like mini me of the bigger tiles!

I also want to point out that this tile has quite a bit of variety in the tiles. Some will be extra pretty and some will be so ugly you will not want it any where near your pool.......Pick through the boxes the tile is in....pull out the extra pretty one to put them on the "eye sight" areas such as the back wall where everyone's eyes will first all on it. The ugly ones hide!

Thanks so much! I think there is a matching toe tile to this option... I am just not sure how it would contrast with the tropics blue pebble? Hoping to get a sample tomorrow... I hear ya on the tile variability.. I had a sample that I did not like then I saw it on a pool online and went to get a sample, got a pretty one and loved it then realized I had a sample all along I had ruled out!!! Crazy.. it just looks so much different when you see it actually on a pool. It would be so neat to have a thread just for tile so you could see it. I tried to find the plaster one and I am not finding it. thanks again!!
