\"\"<\/a>Since I first discovered the lookalike Chee Hsin tile<\/a> – (QX #109\/159<\/a>) on FB (from a diy site, but they didn’t reply to me, so I didn’t know where did they purchase their tiles), to actually seeing the tiles in a Sarasota store<\/a>, I’ve ordered some myself for my kitchen<\/a>. Soon I would discover more at Floor & Decor<\/a>, Cement Tile Shop and Tile Shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    … now, where would I use them?<\/p>\n

    A little surprise that the sample tiles came with thin wrapping paper<\/a> that mid level retailers use, such as clothing store Ann Taylor, \u00a0White and Black<\/a>, Coach, \u00a0etc., a very nice touch.<\/p>\n

    There seems to be a few names for this (similar) pattern, sizes, and thickness:<\/p>\n
