They're actually 13x13 tiles, but I appreciate the opinions. We debated about smaller tile for the shower, but the tile we bought was marked down so much ($.68/sq ft), it was really hard to pass it up. We bought enough tile to do this bathroom project, tile the kitchen floor and the entry way to the house and it was around $175 for all of that. Not that cost was a huge factor, but if you can get products for such a good price, might as well.
