The next day – one week after starting – they were able to lay the tile floor. We actually had a heck of a time finding full-bodied porcelain tiles (which the Snook insisted on) in black and white. We ended up finding them on sale at Amber Tiles. (They’re really more charcoal and cream, but they read as black and white.)
