WOW!!! I bow down to you!!! What a lil' go getter you are! A real spitfire! Maybe if I could get DH to go on a 1 mos vacation....ship him off to his sister...in ontario!!! hmmm
Thanks for showing me, I am pondering just what I'd need and what I can have with the budget I have...I also have an ensuite to include, so two toilets, two sinks, etc.. I can't imagine something as divine as you have!!!

Linlee: I am BLOWN away! It looks so professional. What size tiles did you use in the tub area? Is it a tub/shower combo? We're going to be renovating our master bath in a few months and I wasn't even considering doing the tile work myself but might have to reconsider. Did you tile the floors also?

All hale the QUEEN of the bathroom!

Wow, that is beautifully amazing!!! Your design is just spectacular. Is that the dark brownish/black glass tile with the copper running through it? I did my vanity and backsplash in it and I thought it was a pain working with the paperface. I couldn't judge how much thinset I was getting on and kept having to scrape it out and then I would dislodge the tiles. I agree, you are the QUEEN! Your work should be in one of the practical applications galleries on a site that's trying to sell the tile.
(P.S. was trying click on pics to enlarge so I could see better but I keep going to photobucket home page instead of getting a larger pic to see. What am I doing wrong? thanks.)

Had to come back and say that those niches are AWESOME! So is floor, marble, well, EVERYTHING!!! I can't even imagine how hard it would be for me(a visual person) to do that tiling with paper on it!!! You must feel so incredibly proud everytime you walk into that masterpiece!!! Ooh La Laa! Tres Bien Mon Amie!!!

Queen of the bathroom!!! ha ha ha ha...gee thanks.

This bathroom is our one and only...not easy to remodel
with a family of 4 let me tell ya.
The wall tile is Hakatai Ashland 1"x1" in Burnt Amber.
The floors are 4"x4" red limestone with the glass inserts.

The granite was the biggest pain. They wouldn't split the slab so we had to buy the whole thing. Only needed less than 1/3 of the slab. So what do you do with a big piece of rock?
You beg your other half to build a piece of furniture!
His first one. I think he did a great job :o)

A note about the paperface tile: It came in 1'x1' sheets,
but because of the weight I sliced them into 6"x6" manageable pieces. The first few sheets I had the thinset squishing through too, but knew I'd never finish having to scrape the groutlines out. So started to backbutter the tile instead...sped things up immensely.

Beautiful work linlee!
I love that design on the bathroom floor.
I got into mosaics after doing tile work in our homes too,
I sure feel ya about remodeling with a house full. This place was tore up for 2 years. Your black entertainment center fits perfectly in your beautifully tiled home.

Wow Linlee, these pictures show your tile work much better. Your DH did an awesome job on that table...bet it weighs a ton. Do you leave it out in winter?

Fantastic job!!!

Barb

I sooo wanna do that to my kitchen table!! A big slab like that! What a great idea doing 6x6, buttering. I could do that,I'd love to do the kitchen floor & backsplash and the bathroom and my foyer but......but DH can't stand the idea of ongoing construction.I can't remember who did their basement but it sure was gorgeous! I pulled out my stove a while back to see how hard it wold be to tear up the kitchen tile...dynomite would be the only option!lol! The floor is white tile and white grout!!! YUCK! Plain Jane!!!

Beautiful!! Going to set my bathroom on fire now....

Linlee, what a beautiful tile job you did! Looks like you could go into the tile business. What a since of pride you must have. This belongs in a magazine.

I agree - this is definitely professionally done. Ever thought about going into the tiling business? SHRTY: LOL.

Well thanks all!
Yes the table does indeed weigh a ton. The base was supposed to be
temporary but the guys squirted silicone
on the frame before laying it down. Hope it lasts awhile.
We've only had it out 1 winter, covered with plastic.

calamity j, if the kitchen tile is sound, you can in lots
of cases tile over it...just an idea.

Doing the walls was time consuming but fine...but the floor!
I don't know how real tilers can do it on a daily basis.
It is soooo painful, course maybe it's just me. The neck, back and
knee strain had me in tears by the end.
But I truly do love the way it turned out. :o)
