What about quartz that mimics marble? My favorites are: Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold, Cambria Britannica, ceasarstone Calacatta Nuvo, and for a very subtle look, Silestone Statuario. Have you looked at those? They all go so beautifully with light white oak floors. I’ve seen the eternal Calacatta Gold and Cambria Britannica installed as counters and up the backsplash - very nice.

I used 3 tiles in the shower, lol...cuz I was doing partial remodel due to limited budget. My goal was to match the shower area with the rest of the bath, wall to wall, floor to floor except the front wall that I made some contrast. Below are the products I used The front wall from Homedepot, there should be a same one from tilebar https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Montgomery-Ribbon-Maple-24-in-x-48-in-Matte-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-15-49-sq-ft-Case-EXT3RD101072/313982178 The left and right wall should be this product with 18 x 36 size. I just found this link similar but not able to get the exact link cuz I bought it from our local store Bullnose tile https://www.saloni.com/en/product/938 The floor tile from Lowes https://www.lowes.com/pd/American-Olean-Delfino-Stone-Arctic-Topaz-12-in-x-12-in-Honed-Pebble-Mosaic-Tile/50122049 In order to coordinate the shower floor with the bath floor, I used biscuit grout from Mapei. Hope above information helps you guys~

what do you mean it's already framed out? do you have any pictures? If you want a curb on your shower, and GC admits to making an error, then have them redo it the way you want. A curb-less (zero entry) requires some expert tile setting and needs to be done very well, or water will escape from the shower area. I don't know what level your tile person is. you'll need to post details here for that issue. As for the tile thickness, most tile is a standard 3/8" thickness, so picking diff tiles shouldn't matter much. where they differ in heights are cement tiles, handmade tiles (like Zellige) and some other custom tiles. since you don't like grout, what about using the super large tiles in the shower? Tilebar has some that are 48", 60" and I think larger. I believe they also come in a smaller size for outside on the floor. Or, you could pick a diff tile altogether. example, these are 24X48 60X120 30x60 https://www.tilebar.com/collection/tile-mosaic-collections/tilebarxl.html I love this wood look tile. it's 24x48. Kenridge Ribbon. looks great w/black comes in a gray too. they paired it here w/12x24 tiles on the other wall. there are so many diff ways to do a shower w/this tile. If you look at their other larger format tiles, they come in a 24" and 30", often w/matching mosaic pieces. check out these. 16x48! they look like large planks. you can't even see the grout lines. https://www.tilebar.com/klondike-yukon-blanco-matte-ceramic-wall-tile.html this is a porcelain 24x24 on the walls w/minimal grout lines. the floor tiles are from another line, but match up perfectly. Here's a smaller size zero entry done w/Portmore tiles on the wall. You could easily do these on the floor, and pick a larger size white tile for the walls. These come in 7 colors https://www.tilebar.com/bathroom-styles If you give me an idea of how you want it to look, and how large an area it is (how about posting some pictures or an inspiration photo?) I could recommend something for you https://www.tilebar.com/lookbook-shower Take a look at these shower pics and see if you like anything (got carried away w/all the pics!)

Red, I painted furniture w/Emerald once and did not like it. there are much better options that are easier to work with. General finishes milk paint is very nice on wood furniture. BM Advance lays down a better finish. even the ProClassic is better to work with. Amy, I'd either go darker, (these two listed below are a bit more bronze-y than Urbane bronze) or, do a very creamy white/almond. You need some pattern too. How about a similar run like one of these, or taupe/bronze/almond towels? I think a plant on the vanity w/tall stems, maybe a wicker basket w/folded towels over around the tub, along w/ a tall green plant in the corner would finish off the look. https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/the-best-paint-colours-for-an-almond-bathroom/ check out the link above. Check talks about working w/almond colors in the bathroom. This one is Kingsport Gray on the vanity. It works w/almond and prob w/your stone. Darker colors like Urbane bronze (which has more brown) and IronOre which leans a little more charcoal w/brown undertone I really like some of these too you can pick out one of the bluer color in the pebbles if you like. it would be a nice contrast color MtEtna should be a perfect match to that color in you pebbles.
