It's been a little dead hereabouts lately, so I thought I would try and liven things up a little.

Post some pics of your current tile projects in progress. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Just went upstairs and got a couple pics....thanks for asking/noticing. Besides the floating live-edge seat that is one of my favorite details. I can't wait to see it grouted....it's meant to look like single wall/floor transition pieces.

I only broke one of the long ones (1 3/4" x 18") during install, which sucked cause they are all matched to their wall mates, except for the corner medallions that I made lighter toned on purpose to set them off.

Thanks for the compliment.....nice that people notice those details.

Thanks also has to go out to all the pro's on this site. They have really helped me take my tile skills to the next level.

I use a DeWalt wet saw (which I bought after advice from Angus, the Masta...etc). Have never used a snapper, but listening to the real tile pro's around here makes me think I should get one.

Sincere thanks again for the kind words.

Yeah, I had an initial concept but then it came together as the job progressed. The customer let me do whatever I wanted. At the start I knew we needed the soffit and lighting. The rest was designed based on the rainfall shower heads and the block window. Definitely one of my favorites to date.
Thanks to everyone for the compliments. Also thanks for sharing all of your ideas and work on this forum. This place has helped me become so much better at the work I perform and more diligent in providing the best service I possibly can.

I think it is all about pricing, these are $2.75/sq.ft porcelain,sure enough I have seen $18/sq.ft porcelain that is flat that can be stacked.

I avoid 1/3 offset, gives stair effect, this is same as floor 8" to the right of the first tile and repeat same two rows, random but uniform look.
Look at the floor picture


What are those spacers? and why are they sticking their tongues out at us?
regular + shape spacers, I just need one wing:laughing:
