trim and tile

remember this? the metal door frame that i had to wrastle with to remove?

this is the new and improved cased door opening

baseboard and casing

baseboard and the tile is now grouted (still not painted tho)

while scott was installing trim, i was preparing to tile the entry foyer and first floor bathroom.

when using a material like slate, i like to pile up the tiles according to color so that i can pick and choose the colors as i go.

because i am tiling both the entry foyer and bathroom- and i want it all to be one continuous pattern, i first dry-set the tiles to see how they were going to lay out- i wanted to make sure that the pattern was centered on the entry foyer.

as it turns out the fit is perfect- and there is a full tile that ends at the bathtub edge.

so, because i don't want to tile myself into a corner- i marked the location of the tiles and started from the bathtub back out towards the foyer.

these tiles will look completely different once sealed...much darker and the colors will be more vibrant!
