Darn it! (tile)

The tile that even my H fell in love with is out of stock for a month.  We need tile within a week.  BOO!!!  It took me ages to find a tile that both of us loved and now I have to figure it out in a few days.

Here is one option:

I like that - is it real marble?

Yup.

We're also thinking about doing a plain white metro tile in a herringbone pattern.

I like the marble but I worry it's going to be high maintenance. I think I'd do the metro herringbone

Yeah, I started reading all about it after you asked about it (my spidey sense went off).  I think metro herringbone will be easier (and cheaper, tbh).  Thanks!

We have a herringbone backslash. I absolutely love it. We did the longer tile 8x3 and I think it looks awesome.

I feel like most people who go for that real marble backsplash find it to be much darker IRL than it is portrayed in catalogs and magazines.
