Oh but the iridescent will be so pretty with the sun shining on it. :) But the other one reminds me of sea glass. They are both nice and colorful so what is the style of your pool? Water features? Shape? Perhaps one would work better depending on what other features you have going on.

Pool will have blu

Very simple ... that’s why I am wondering if the iridescent is too much bling?

New surface of the pool with have turquoise and blue beads in it...

I would not want all of those grout lines...we have hard water, but a saltwater pool. We get a lot of limescale build up and the grout is terrible to keep looking nice...

I agree with you and initially we said that.. but seems like our tile options all lead to these types of tile..

iridescent! it won't be too "blingy"

jackqtopia no we decided against pebble tee .... going with a FL Gem..... our contractor said he can add as many beads as we would like.. so maybe the more plain tile with the main event being the water? only see 3 inches of the tile anyway really?

Oh not familiar with that but that is so cool that you can create it the way you want to.

Before you decide on the plain tile, do this, I just googled "iridescent tile pool waterline" and click on Images. It may not be as fancy/blingy as you fear when just on the waterline.

I did that! You might be correct! Especially since only about 3 inches will actually show...

So what did you decide Nicole? :)

The iridescent looks cheap to me. I love classic glass tile.

I went with the more classic look... didn’t want to go trendy ... our home is pretty modest and I just feel the regular glass tile will be best... our contractor agreed and also thought it would be best with the surface color we chose... so below are is the tile and paver coping we chose and the water will have sky blues flecks and cobalt blue glass beads! I will post the finished product! Thank you!

I love it! Really like that coping. It's going to look great, and I look forward to seeing the reveal!

Just wanted to show the iridescent tile in a large scale install so you can see whether or not it is too bling for you. We thought that about this iridescent tile in the same manner when designing this pool and rain wall... It turned out great!

So first pic is beginning of demo... next 3 are the new paver coping and tile.. went against iridescent!! Project turning out more beautiful than I expected!!! Thank you all for you input! The contractor chose “bone” for the grout...looks like sea glass and sand!!! Will send more as it progresses...

And pics do it NO justice!! This color combination is really stunning together!! Very calming and peaceful with a classic elegance..

Oh Nicole, it looks awesome! It really does make you think of sea glass and sand...two of my favorite things. ha Thanks for the update, can't wait to see the end. Margaritas to celebrate?

Wow it’s perfect!

So it’s done all except the finishers paver deck.. to be installed within the month.. these pics aren’t the best .. once it’s completely fished I will post another pic... love the colors turned out very nice! Thank you all again.. i was glad I went against iridescent since this gave me a sea glass and sand look...

It looks fabulous!!

Thank you!

Nicole, it looks fantastic! Love your little crab too!

Soooo.. after about 24 hours of being complete... I noticed some major sloppy workmanship!
1. Can see the bond coat through the bottom row of tile,
2. White pool finish all over the tan grout
3. Step marker tile scratched to hell
4. Pool is leaking!!!!!!!!!
5. They left our Lanai a complete mess that
6. Areas that were cut out not filled in enough and can see major indent near water return line....
FYI took my husband 4 hours to clean up the lanai!
They are coming back tomorrow to fix a few of the issues but some they don’t even know about yet... I don’t even know how to handle this ?!!! I should not be paying full price .. one or 2 things okay... but 5?!!

Well, I feel your frustration having just gone through a whole house Harvey remodel during the last 18 months..I'm pi$$ed off every single day I look at workmanship in certain areas of the house,.

It is incredibly frustrating when you've spent that kind of money and see the lack of integrity. And now it's just going to be more mess trying to correct those things. I'm sorry Nicole, I know it's sooo disappointing. I can't believe the pool is leaking too!!

Good luck tomorrow confronting them with all the issues. Hopefully they'll address it all asap!

Thanks Jac! I am just not sure what’s expecting too much out of them ... so very sorry this also happened to you ! I think I am just going to say “fix it all” ... I maybe wouldn’t have if it were just a few minor things ... but I think I just want it all fixed... thank you!!

It’s hard to take good pics but after weeks of frustration.. it’s finally done... AGAIN! Still some blemishes but nothing compared to the initial refinish.. we had them upgrade to a finish called Oasis Select by FL stucco ... it’s filled with cobalt blue glass beads and it’s really beautiful!!

Can’t really tell the differences from the first refinish to the second from the pics but in person the differences are obvious!

Wow....it looks really beautiful! I was wondering how it all turned out! So it seems they were pretty good about resolving all the issues?

It’s took me coming down pretty hard in them .. I think they guy was freaked I was about to withhold payment and sue him...
I have included some before pics..

Nicole, you are a bada$$! Lol

Don’t know if you need any new outdoor pillows but I picked these and the rug up at Target and they would look great with your tile colors. Pillows are a little big for my sofa but I don’t care, I love them anyway.
