Glass accent tile in bathroom - Y/N & design help, please
Comments (12)Yes, the mosaic is bordered by a thin limestone pencil tile. The white tile is thinner than the mosaic, so the pencil tile makes a nice transition between the two. This is not our tile, but it's the picture that inspired what we did with the pencil tile. Laying the tile out on the livingroom floor, just a single tile width, really helped to visualize what pattern we liked. I was going to do a full sheet of masaic (12") as the stripe, but when I laid it out it looked like too much mosaic. We played with the widths of the mosaic by cutting one sheet into 3" rows and adding or taking away sections to make different width strips. Doing this, coupled with taking the width of the cuts neccessary for the white tile into consideration really helped to visualize the look....See MoreFinally - posting my finished 1920's inspired kitchen....
Comments (48)Hi Francy! I have had no problems with that shade and light...the only thing that bothers me about it is that I screwed up the calculations and it is not centered between the hood and the walll.. :(. My ceilings are 8 feet and I also have the open shade above the sink and honestly I never really look up at them to catch any glare. My rationale too was not to have too many different shades/styles. You can see that the fitter and canopy on my sink pendant match the small stove light. All my light shades have the black stripe but they did not offer the stripe on the one over the sink. Good luck and I would love to see pictures of your finished period kitchen! Tina...See MoreDesign Around This #3: 1920s Kitchens and All That Jazz
Comments (129)Jterrilyn, that floor is actual antique tile I saw on The Antique Floor Company's site (see link below). They're a French company based in Burgundy. This particular floor sold a good while ago (understandably). It was, quote, "recovered from a town house in the Champagne region of France." I'm sure it wasn't cheap, and shipping it from Burgundy to the US would also not be cheap. There are several close-ups at the website that you could use to recreate this tile, if you had infinite money. :-) Here is a link that might be useful: French antique floor tile at the Antique Floor Company...See MoreTile design for period-inspired bathroom
Comments (0)We are adding a bath to our house, which is a 1900 four square We would like the bathroom to fit reasonably well with the period of the house found a picture from 1911 that I absolutely love My question is, can I expect a regular tilemason to be able to replicate the detailed tile work? If it is a specialist project, how would I find the right person? We are in the Boston metro area, if that helps. Thanks for for your help!!...See Morewishiwereintheup
