Brian - I ordered the river stone online from www.stonedecorative.com.
It was pretty reasonable and free shipping (at least when I ordered).
Why thank you very much

Be sure to order about 20% more than you need for the space, so you have extra just in case. For the shower floor, I ordered 18 sq ft, even though it measured 15.

Debating what color grout I want with the tile (bath floor and shower walls) and river stone (shower floor). Maybe pale grey for the tile and some version of white for the river stone. What does y'all think?



^I don't know. I really like the river stone too, and would want it to be a star without competition, but I don't know if white or grey grout would make it look the best.

White on the shower floor may be REAL hard to keep clean Deb. Speaking of...make sure they seal the grout after installation.

If you go with the white it'll be grey soon enough.

Seriously I think grey or greyish will be more subdued so the focus will be on the beautiful tile and stone you've picked.

True enough. Although it will be well sealed, as Carmen recommended.

Well, I decided to post a couple more pics of the shower infrastructure before the drywall goes up. Notice the new metal reinforcements on the walls/ceiling, plus new piping for the rainhead, handheld and shower controls (the black piece - the old control below it will be removed).

Dave is going to bring over the color chart for me to look at - for grout and wall paint selection. Still thinking of a pale grey for everything.

He's going to finish up plumbing and get in the shower base (and maybe some drywall) by the end of the week. He's off next week for carpal tunnel surgery. Then it's time for a week of tile work. Having tile delivered end of next week - 120 sq ft. Gotta spread it out somewhere, so the floor doesn't fall in. Heavy stuff!!
