Looks like a match to me.

can't tell from the pic, it doesn't appear to be too far off....you can't get an exact match even on new tile unless it's from the same batch lot or a generic brite white..... best you can do is shuffle the tiles so new and old tiles aren't grouped

Thanks Riss and Mell!

Scott- I was hoping just to retile the shower area where the previous owner had put in some lovely pink and white patterned tile when they removed the window. Bad idea?

I ordered a 2nd tile in another shape and there is definitely a little bit of variance between the two as the tiles are hand glazed.

They look the same shade of green to me.

mmmmm.....what could be better than brown sugar and butter I have a recipe for (fresh) fruit coffee cake that is soooo awesome (not my recipe- it came from a friend of mine). It has sour cream in the batter (I use yogurt)- YUM. I think I might need to make some......

Why not just install a cup holder so you can bring your beer into the shower.....problem solved. Any more home improvement questions I can answer?

I have pink and white tile in my bathroom.

How do you get the diagonal lines on the lawn perfect if you are really, really high?

Freak! You're gonna be like Sisyphus in the afterlife, only instead of rolling the rock up the hill you will have to cut grass again, and again, and again.

oh ouch, that's going to stick out like a sore thumb.... I have my guys shuffle tiles even from the same batch...... if the area is centered, i would try to find a mosaic, it may be difficult to find something that would work with the glazed tile and color though. I assume it was like a 2'x2' window and a mosaic might run $50-$60 or more for the material....... might want to have a tile setter do something custom in colored glass tiles
