Kitchen Floor - - Tile

Tom R

Here's part of my 'almost done' tile job, in my 'almost done' kitchen. It just needs to be buffed and sealed yet. I just got the grout in today after about 3 days worth of 'pre-cutting' and one day of installing. Wheww!!

Good idea putting it on the diagonal. Much better look.
Why the diamond tile in front of the stove? Is there a reason you didn't extend the border to go in front of the stove?
Not that it looks bad, just wondering.
I would like to see the rest.

That's the only spot where I 'stopped' the border (and also the doorways). Just wanted to do something 'different' and 'original'. I also think it makes the 'corridor' area look bigger by not 'ending' with a border, it kind of makes the eye 'wander'. There are also 3 'square' brown tiles where the breakfast barstools will go. More pics on the way. (hopefully in a few minutes).

Here's a few more.

As soon as I get a chance, I'll get some close-ups of the backspash.

Here's one showing the 'squares' for the stools.

Very nice!

Did you import that plug in cover from Russia?

Excellent job!

Very nice job Tom. Really attractive. I just finished a kitchen & butler's pantry with Travetine. When I get time to get pictures I'll post them. The kitchen is about 12' x 12'. I ran two courses around the perimeter and then laid the middle diagionaly.

Florcraft - - no, the cover plate came from the Orange Box, not the Red Square.

Mike - - thanks.

Crankshaft - - thanks, I'll be anxious to see your pics.
