Fireplace Tile

I thought I would share a few great websites we have found for tile in the search for our own. We plan to go with handcraft tile, because of their great designs, quality craftsman style and price point, however are still picking our colors. We are going to order the mother oak tile, some small detail acorn tiles as well as field tiles. I would never have imagined that choosing a color is so difficult, but we are about to go for round 2 on ordering color samples...we are planning a green or brown. Anyone used this tile or feel like they could give me some great input? We will have darkly stained fir around the fireplace.
Here are the companies we have found and the links to their sites:

• Handcraft Tile
  
• Tile Restoration Center
• Laird Plumleigh
• Rick Rivadeneyra
• Skiersch Studio Tiles
• Dard Hunter
• Lewellen Studio
• North Prairie Tileworks
• Door Pottery
