Thanks for the turtle inlay pic. We intend to do a compass rose in our living room. Not a tile inlay though. Our floors are acid stained concrete. I will layout the compass rose then cut the lines into the concrete and grout them. A friend will do surface lettering then the whole deal will be acrylic sealed as part of the floor finish.
In our previous mainland house, I remodeled the bath, building a tile shower, tiling the floor, and tiling 4 ft up the walls. The kitchen I ripped out the floor and replaced will all tile. I also built a new bath upstairs that included all tile floors, walls tiled to ceiling and another custom shower stall. I used glass block to separate shower from the jacuzzi. These projects were mostly 12 in tiles with some 4 in for accent.
In the new house here in Ninole, the only floor tile planned is in the 3 showers - using the 1 in squares that come in a "sheet". As stated, rest of the floors are acid stained/acrylic sealed concrete. I will tile all (4) bathroom walls basically to the 8 ft height. Using 16 inchers for this project. Never worked with 16s before, but they are what Sophie picked out. Will be interesting how much I can do in a day
Hoping to get started next week.
