Default Ceramic floor tile opinion

Yep, I was thinking of that too. We have terrazzo in most of the rooms but
we added some placed on and enclosed a carport and put tile in different
parts of the house. They're not all the same types of tile from room to
room either, so I hope I'm not making too much of a hodgepodge of flooring
styles!

Someone gave us a stack of very large floor tile. We have a very large

that could use a floor covering and we don't want carpet; currently it's

the
whole room, but possibly one half of the room. But using it would

probably
be a substantial savings on the cost to tile the whole room. So I was
wondering, might it be a bad idea to try to find another tile that is

the
same size and perhaps make a pattern with the ones I have, or is that

likely
to look bad?

Not at all. Take a sample of the tile with you when you choose the new
tile. Make sure they are the same thickness.
