Oooouuhh! I love me some pennies and hex tiles! Have you seen some of those larger hexes? Cool.

Go to Houzzdotcom. You'll find kitchens done with those types of tiles. I have some saved, but I'm on the wrong computer.

I'm considering the same things for my Carrara kitchen.

Check out the Encore website. They are making sheets of hexagon glass and ceramic (i believe) tiles now. Go for what u love... GL

I think Sarah Richardson did a marble penny tile bs. Check her website.

prill! You just put a permanent smile on my face :) I love Sarah Richardson, but hadn't seen this kitchen. You were spot on...

It's not really a 'penny tile' but a mosaic that looks like one called Sunflower.

There's also a slightly different version with some beige which might work really well with the wood tones I'm trying to work into the kitchen. I'm hoping that my soapstone supplier will be getting some slabs with caramel veining (she's trying for me) and then it will really tie in well.

Thanks so much for helping me find this!

Also...I've had my eye on a cork penny tile but didn't think it would be durable enough to use in the kitchen. I think it would look pretty cool behind my small serving cabinet between the kitchen and the dining room - a place that houses the wine glasses and such...

What do you guys think?

Oh - and my Pottery Barn hardware arrived today too. So pretty! Now I'm finally moving past being stressed about the reno and just plain getting excited!

I've been saving my corks for several years to make a splash or cork board. I must have enough for several boards at this point. ;-)

I'm ga-ga for that sunflower. That's now my bs front runner. Hopefully you'll get some carmel-y soapstone and do the second mosaic so I don't feel bad stealing the one in the first pic! Thanks for the help! :)

I'm glad you like it too. I feel like you have very good instincts and beautiful taste from other posts I've read of yours, so that makes me feel good. By all means, steal away. Both tiles have a beige option. The company is saltillo-tilesdotcom. (link below)

BTW - the picture is actually Ming Green - I found that out after a little more research. I like that green too - would go nicely with a green tinged soapstone. I guess I just need to pick out the countertops so I can move forward now.

Here is a link that might be useful: Sunflower Tiles

Funny that you are doing the cork too. We will have to be careful to not have twin kitchens!!
