Find PRODUCTS/Bathrooms/Tile... B&W might be your best bet, but you can browse all of our sources there. Good luck. @Gio – head up to the blue navigation bar.

Some tiles were broken by a plumber while replacing a pipe and I just want to restore with originals but haven't had any luck finding a place that sells them. Any help would be great :) Thanks Gio Hello,

Alice just bought this house so I don't think that she can tell you where the bathroom floor tile came from. And, I don't know of many sources for that matte finish 4x4 tile in 50s colorways. But I will look. Meanwhile - can you send me your retro reno story - along with some jpegs of your project? Send to: pam@retrorenovation.com. Many thanks! Sheila, this is 50s Pam.

I need "arctic white," the brightest white possible, and I want to use unglazed porcelain tiles that are 1/4 inch think. DalTile makes unglazed porcelain, arctic white, in only 1x1 and 2x2. Nothing larger. The American Olean website has a problem with its internal search engine adn I cannot find it there. So I'm stumped, at the moment. If anyone has any resource for 4x4 color-body porcelain unglazed tile, 4x4x1/4, I'd be grateful. Oh, and the small 1x1 tiles in my version of the pattern will be one black and three blue (DalTile "Waterfall").
