I hv a strip of pebblewash in living room and LOVE IT. son likes it. friends n relatives aso say nice! not sure if it's the same or not. edmund tried to get 60x60 but was told the tile is only available in 30x60. tmr will be going up again to meet him. see if will have the pebblewash ready or not. i only doing pebblewash for toilet and shower flooring. wanted to do in one corner of the living room for shoe cabinet but edmund say better not waste the original tile. he mentioned the tile is expensive to replace btw, no wall tiles for kitchen wall? plastering ah? wife don't like tiles on kitchen wall. so most likely will only paint and paste some decal. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
