| Installed it in our basement half-bath. Easy to install, comes in 12x12 sheets. Ours is a blue/yellow/sage combo, with dark, charcoal colored grout. |

Does penny tile for a backplash generally hold up ok? Easy to maintain/clean?

I am currently planning a bathroom renovation and want to point you to this tile you might like. It's slightly larger than penny tile.
I also recommend not using white grout. https://www.flooranddecor.com/ceramic-tile/beaumont-shadow-1.5-in.-hexagon-ceramic-mosaic-100831718.html |

Op here. Found this tile that I really like. https://www.mosaictile.com/products/la-fleur-pinnacle-hexagon-patterns?variant=43201898250416
Has anyone bought from this online Mosaic Tile store? Would you do a basic white subway tile for the walls? |

That's really cute but tiny size tiles and expensive!
You will need to match your white subway possibly to the white in this mosaic. It looks somewhat grayish in the picture. Get the sample and see if you can match it with what's out there. However if you're going colorful on the floor why not take the yellow or another color and do that subway? Would be really cute in kids bath. |

| We have it on our shower floor, and I hate it. There is so much grout! It's impossible to keep clean. |

| It's super hard to clean, if you are the one cleaning all those grout lines. |

| I wouldn’t do it. I have had it and it’s a pain to keep clean. |

Any small tile on sheets takes extra care to align when installing. It's not *hard* per se, but when done poorly, it can look really bad.
