Installing a "Travertine" (vinyl) Floor

I love tumbled travertine tile, and I really like the big 18″ tiles. My pocketbook forbade me from even thinking about a travertine tile floor in what is a fairly sizable master bathroom. And although I have laid (a lot) of tile in the past, its hard work, and rank’s right up there with a mammogram on my list of fun things to do. Then one day I was at Lowe’s and saw a display of what I thought was travertine. Only it wasn’t….it was vinyl tile, with grout. Matte finish, embossed, it even felt a bit like the real deal. And at less than $1.50 a square foot, I walked out the door with (way more than) enough to tile the bathroom, some vinyl tile grout, and every expectation of having a new floor by dinner.
