We have a home that has 3 bathrooms covered in Pewabic Pottery tiles. I am new to Michigan and had never heard of Pewabic Pottery before. The tiles are not really my style and I was thinking of taking them out to redecorate. I saw this article and though maybe someone could provide some advise.

1. How much is a bathroom covered in Pewabic Tiles worth?
2. Can I remove them without damaging them?
3. If I was able to remove them - what do I do with them?
