Sustainable Home As I recall, it was the Dal tile product, but it is a couple of years now since I designed this bath. Thank you so much for the kind words, I loved this project and these clients, it was a pleasure to work on this home.
joining the beadboard and tile - I love how you transitioned from beadboard to tile. Is that a bullnose edge? I wasn't sure how to join the two in my bath and I think yours looks wonderful »
jimmordino Could you explain that more? Are you saying there is no bullnose the entire verticle edge? The edge tiles appear to be wider than a simple 1/4 round tile trim. Any chance that you have a closer shot of that transition? It really is nice.
Sustainable Home the tile is on concrete backer board so it is a 1/4 round rather than a bullnose. Does that help? I could try and go past their house, but don't know how soon I could do that and get a picture up.
Tiles have most common sizes measured in mm. Only a couple tiles produced in the USA and Mexico have sometimes imperial sizes.
A single mosaic tile like the accent / ornamental border is usually 25 mm x 25 mm (1"x1") and sometimes 20 mm x 20 mm (13/16 x 13/16) Which is the case here.
So when you count the mosaic tiles, there are ca. 7 pcs. per 1 white tile. 7 x 20 mm + 140 mm + 7 joints x ca. 1 mm + 7 mm in total = 147 mm. So the wall tiles are ca. 150 mm x 150 mm or in imperial: 6" x 6" (nominal)
Here is another way to calculate it: A bathtub is usually about 750 mm wide. You can count 5 tiles above the tub. 750 mm : 5 tiles = 150 mm
So the size of the tiles is most likely 150 mm x 150 mm (6" x 6")
If you have any further questions or if you need any advise, we will be glad to help you.
Sustainable Home yes, that was a 4" by 8" tile. I have used the one by American Olean for a couple of projects, and it is one of the most reasonable ones I have found. Several tile manufacturers make this size.

A classic octagonal tile is the perfect counterpoint to a more modern stripe of mosaic tile in the shower surround in this bathroom by Sustainable Home of Palo Alto, California. Designer Kristen Flynn notes that the mosaic is an affordable option by Dal-Tile.
