Wow, when I asked my contractor about doing some tricky tile work he laughed and said he's not a tile guy. Nice job, wish I talked to you first.

Though I have to ask, is that a popular style now? I know of old houses with that look. Is this just an "odd" situation where one person wants that retro look, or is this style becoming popular again? |

That is pretty bad ass.
Be glad you are not doing it on the walls too.

This house is 80-90 years old.
I did a similar install in an 1890's mansion B&B in Napa. KT

KT,
DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!! Why work for free? Job looks awesome though, you need to charge more to pay for the P-Habits. |

I always love the look of freshly laid tile. That's quite a job, nice work!

Yes, I learned my lesson on this one.
Next person that wants a mosaic floor, is really going to have to want it.  It was a good exercise in patience, however. KT

Next time, subcontract out to "Stoners 'R Us". May take a while to finish, but they won't get impatient...

I think that looks great, and I'll bet they love it.
I couldn't have it in my house though. Makes me sick to look at it. Dizzy and all...

Look at it this way: You didn't do it for free... you have around 2400 little white dots left over that you can sell on ebay!
