My house was built in 1953 but it seems to be the only one in a five-mile radius with white fixtures. Phooey. Where would be the best place to sell these? They're in good shape, I don't want to just scrap them. I am keeping the faucets!

I have a gorgeous blue 1950s bathroom, but I have to replace some of the 4x4 tiles. Some idiot of a previous owner put in sliding glass shower doors, and when I removed them, it destroyed 3 tiles and damaged 3 others. I only had one left in the box in the basement from when the house was built and I can't find a match at all. Even World of Tile in CA didn't have the right color. Any other sources out there? Help!

Happened across it searching the web for tiling ideas to do a 50s style bathroom. I recently aquired 40 boxes of bluish grey 4x4 ceramic tiles and am thinking of accenting with cobalt blue cove, liner and 2x6 bullnose...but couldn't figure out how to do the floor. The vintage mosaic would definitely be ideal, but expensive. Thanks to this now I have 2 great ideas and can use the tiles I already have!! (YAY!) I absolutely LOVE this site!
