Nice job. We have been doing quite a few of the retro look over the past year or so. Most customers are going with the 3x3 octagon w/dot on the floor though. Looks great, but can be a pain trying to get all to line up.(Most mesh sheets are never square, as you probably know). Nice job though, keep uploading pics.

I don't care for those small hex mosaics at all.
Installed one and didn't have any problems except the fact I had no taste for it.

Another retro-ish style bath.
Kept the old 1950s wall tile.
Pulled up the old tile and lathe, floated a mud bed and laid 12" black granite.
You could ice skate across this floor.

Nice look! I love granite..I don't care for the retro either, but it seems to be the going trend in these parts also.
