...bath decorating de-"tiles"

[I've had these 6" x 6" art tiles for years...
and am considering having them put in the shower...
as accent pieces...
any thoughts from anyone ? ...
I'm having trouble making up my mind...]

I've been EVERYWHERE online...
and to all the local mega stores...
looking for "celedon green"...

that ubiquitous "pale green"...
that was SO prevalent during the "Deco" period...

I finally found it at Bedrosian's...
I went there last because I knew they would have it...
but that it would "cost me"...

a few years ago... this color was "everywhere"...
now... everything is "olive"...
or a "sea foam"...which is too blueish for me...

I want to keep the traditional tile pattern style...
[craftsman/bungalow/deco...
similar to this pattern...]



I planned to use white field tile [6" x 6"]...
6' high on the walls in the shower...
4' high on the other walls...
which is just about 6" shorter than the current walls...


[my current bathroom...]

notice that all these tiles...
trim and field ...
are 4" x 4"...
there is some "cap" tile on the window ledge & threshold...
and some quarter round around the tub...
but there will be NO tub...
and I really am SO tired of this blue...

my plan ... was to use black & celedon green as accent colors...
then I could have a lot of color options for accessories...
but it all hinged on finding the coveted "celedon green"...
if I couldn't find it...I would go with black accents on white...
[period "correct"... but a bit stark... & boring...]

so, armed with my black trim and white field tiles from HD...
I went looking...
I found a lot of blue-green... sea foam green...
mint green... and "pale green"....

I found ONE example of celedon green in tile trim pieces...
[shown here with my black & white samples...]



the larger ledge cap on the left is too big...
as well as too light in color...
the small 1" x 1" sheet tiles would be too busy as trim...
and are, to my taste too light in color as well...

the darker "pencil half round" to the top right...
IS PERFECT !
the right shape... size and color !
just what I was looking for... !

it is 1/2" x 8"... a half round that will be set ...
between two black 1/2" tile flat trim strips...
at the top of the white wall tiles...
capped by a 4" high white strip tile ...
and then a 2" black cap...
[a bullnose or maybe a cap...]



here you can see the pattern blocked out...

the only problem...?

the same old problem...

I have expensive taste...

the celedon green trim tiles are 8 " long...
I need 28 of them... at $15.00 each...
that's $420.00... for trim tile....

*sigh*
