Is the tile above the same on your design board? I'm on my small laptop atm so it's hard to tell if it's my computer or eyes ;-)

I like the one not marked much better. A light creamy color will look fabulous with the other colors you picked. I think the one you have marked as picking out in the store is perfect.

I think those tiles are great and love the colors you have on your board. I like the rice grain better as it looks like it matches the fabric better and is lighter. The blue tile would certainly avoid any "dirty" looks. Pottery Barn has some nice accent towels.

Here is a link that might be useful: towels

The tile labeled "Arena" is what I thought that I wanted. But the tile underneath is what I went with in the tile shop.

The "magnetic gray" and "rice grain" are potential paint colors. That has changed about four times! I have pulled Sea Salt, Quietude, and a beige.

Vampiressrn - Thanks for the link to the Pottery Barn towels. I would have NEVER thought to get those towels! Those would be perfect in my guest bathroom (I'm redoing the master and the guest).

I think that I am overthinking this. I am so afraid of the permanency of tile and not having it perfect from day one. I'll get over it. :)

I have waffled back and forth with a gray carrera and a regular tile. Must. not. have. second. thoughts....
