The only way to get a price is to go to a dealer and ask for a quote. You are not obligated to buy if the price is out of your range. Anything anyone tells you here is irrelevant unless they are prepared to sell it to you.

I think that’s the information I need.

I do not understand the issue you need to go shopping.

Thanks again.. just wanted to know if it’s not in our price range. E.g I don’t shop for Ferraris if I can afford an Acura. I have a lot of other shops to visit so I’ll start at those. Thanks

I am looking at the Sonoma Stellar Dahlia, a more detailed tile design. I got a price recently and it was $39/sq.ft

What color are you thinking of using with the Taj Mahal?

Sonoma has quite a few colors that can look nice with Taj Mahal depending on how light/dark your TM is and the color of your cabinets. Whatever you do make sure you get a few samples to test before you place an order!

I was quoted about $35 sq ft. I brought a sample home of some tiles (bossy grey) they have in stock. Love it, but gosh.. was hoping for about $20-$25 sq ft.

$10 more a square foot for the one you love? With shipping and installation the same amount either way? It's just a couple hundred bucks more. That's the place to splurge anyway: a vertical surface visible from both far and near, and often the place to make a statement. I'd spend that extra $10/sf even if my backsplash wrapped 3 walls of the kitchen.

Stellar Quick Ship is typically less than some of the other Stellar options. I work for a flooring and tile dealer and one of the big things to point out is they are sold per piece, not per sqft. I just checked our system and it's $6.52 per piece for 3x6. I'd have to find out if there is additional freight. According to my quick math, if 5.5 tiles equals 1 sqft at $6.52 each you're looking $35.86/sf. Now, I am allowed to adjust my margins so that is retail, if I were trying to get the sale I'd be able to drop it to $5.74 per piece which would be $31.57/sf. Not a huge difference but definitely some savings. Not every company works this way so it just depends where you are located and how they price things. To be honest, there are plenty of beautiful subway options out there at lower price points, I wouldn't pay that much for a subway tile.

I was interested in a Sonoma tile and a price by dealer. I I could do better and called the company. Turns out dealers are locked into that

We woundcup not getting them, but are really well worth the money.

I ordered Sonoma stellar tiles for a backsplash I never installed. If I remember I ordered cut corner 4x4 and regular 4x4. I think it was about $500.00+ for about 15 sf. That may have included three Matowi art tiles and Matowi trim pieces. If so then it was probably about $300 and change for 15 sf. I have it sitting in the basement as sunk cost.

@Cynthia, the number of 3 x 6 tiles in a square foot would be 8, as follows: 2 across (6 x 2 = 12) and 4 down (3 x 4 = 12), so a square foot would be $6.52 x 8, or $52.16 per square foot. Unless of course 3 x 6 is not the exact measurement of one tile.

I ordered 2x6 field tiles from them. I needed 35 sq ft and 20 glazed edge tiles. With freight from CA to SC it was around $800

Thank you for all the feedback

Did any of you that commented use the sonoma tiles? i too am considering them, but have recently read a lot if negarive reviews on rhards to the qulaity.

any feedback in regard to it would be appreciated

I used Sonoma 3x6 stellar, crackle in Gardenia color (I think). aff affordable tile but certainly higher than dal tile and a few others i looked at.

nice nice, high quality tile. huge selection of colors. i remember really liking the Bossy Grey and a beautiful pale blue. the Gardenia is a slightly creamy white.

use a large enough grout line since these are handmade tiles.

my posting looks like im an embecile. im not. some kind of glitch with my ipad and this site that cant be fixed.

Haha, I just spotted my typos!

@Cat Liz did you end up going with Sonoma tile? I also have Taj and just started looking at Sonoma since they have so many different white tiles.

I gave up on the Sonoma tile, mostly because I needed to buy several samples and I didn't like the attitude of the only tile store that sells it in my area. I had used Sonoma tile before, when I lived in another state and had a great relationship with that tile store, who were happy to order any samples I needed in a timely manner.

I also have Taj Mahal counters. I ended up going with a mosaic by Jeffrey court. The larger marble mosaic pieces are honed and the smaller brown marble pieces are polished, which you can't really see in this photo.

@chispa that is so beautiful!! Where did you find the tile?

Jeffrey Court, Chapt. 16 - Park Place mosaics. Their website has a "Find a dealer" link on upper right side.

chispa…i know you dont generally post pics of your home but i would love to see a pic of your taj with your installed tile. im looking at taj as a replacement for my stained quartzite.

your taj colors are really pretty and appeal to me.

ILoveRed—do you have any suggestions for a wall paint that goes well/matches Sonoma’s crackle Gardenia subway tile? I have (hope this won’t shock you) Chantilly Lace cabinets and trim, but I had a hard time finding a tile that matched—most were too gray. The Gardenia color tile is a a bit more gray than the CL trim and cabinets, but it leans warmer than the other tiles. The room faces west, so we get warm light on a sunny afternoon, but the lighting changes throughout the day and season (green outside of winter). I’ve looked at BM White Dove and BM Dune White. My husband doesn’t like BM Swiss Coffee, so I’m open to suggestions. Maybe it would have been easier to install a definite color (like a soft shade of blue), but I thought that would lock me into a specific color for paint, but it seems this “white” Gardenia color is doing that on its own! I saw this same tile brand/color installed with Chantilly Lace cabinets/trim in a designer’s portfolio. Guess pro-photography lighting, digital “color tweaking,” and how it appears on screen all affect the look. I did have a small sample, and for what Sonoma offered, this color (only available as a crackle) was the closest match.
