This was on "I Want That" like... Sunday-ish

I'm thinking this, with that glow in the dark grout they aired a year or so ago...

but then again, I'm not a pothead, so I'd lose out on the "trippiness" of it all.

The tiles cost quite a bit more than I imagined they would.

The back wall alone would cost ~$2700. I'm not sure what's reasonable as I've heard of bathroom remodeling jobs costing far more than that, but I'd wonder if I would get tired of it.

Maybe only when they form some kind of pattern.. I figure they're completely black when "relaxed", a full wall or four of complete black makes any bathroom a little bit too goth. Let's see this in hands of decent designers.

It falls under the "neat" category, but why is this even on Make?!

svoski - the same company makes tiles that start like blue, green, and white that shift colors, like blue goes to white, white goes to purple and I can't remember green, so you could still break up the "goth" look
