New house #14: TILE

Broken or stacked joint? Schluter color? I have learned some tile lingo!

Downstairs, let’s start with my favorite, shall we?

CRAFT ROOM: I really wanted to do something fun and bright in my craft room behind the sink. I saw this photo somewhere and decided to copy the idea.

I ordered lots of glass tiles in 1″, 1/2″, and 1/4″ strips.

I played with the layout a bit one day at the house and ended up frustrated and also having to order a lot more glass and mirrored pieces to make it work.

I went back one morning a couple weeks ago and got about half of it laid out. The tile guy hung it.

Repeat on a Sunday morning. Hang the rest. Ta da! You would never know it took about 20 hours of my time! I love it and that’s what matters. 🙂

KITCHEN: The blue glass chevron is going in the kitchen, but we don’t have the cabinets there yet, so must wait. I am so excited to see it though. Beautiful!

POWDER BATH: This is my next favorite. For such a small space, I think it will be so pretty! The carpenter has the sink ready to hang as soon as we paint the walls.

GUEST BATHROOM:

You can just make out the white penny tile in the lower corner that is the entire bathroom’s flooring. We used a dark grout and it really pops.

Heading upstairs, the stairway is much more striking than I imagined it’d be.

Sweet Girl’s bathroom is lovely… we used a sparkle grout (of course).

In our Master, first they laid part of the floor.

The exciting thing here is that I absolutely loved this tile right away when I was looking, but it was cost prohibitive. I ended up choosing something similar (first picture). Then, complete happenstance, I found it online by accident… on clearance! We bought it right away and I absolutely LOVE IT!

The vanity wall is glass and gorgeous too. We had an order issue with the tile for the back wall, but it’s coming soon.

This accent tile that’s in the shampoo nook in the shower was meant to also go in between the field tiles in the shower, as drawn above. However, we did not want to cut so many of the pieces in half, so we decided on this other layout. We had to order a little more of it, so not installed yet.

Next up… a carpentry tour. Stay tuned. 🙂

  1. This is lovely! You have done so many amazing things with tile. It’s difficult to decide but I think my favorite is the blue wall in the master bath. Your house is a work of art, and it’s exciting to see it take shape.
