This past Friday Carl turned teacher and walked me through Tub Tiling 101. Our recycled tiles from Re-Store are looking pretty neat and much more interesting than just one color. This past weekend I was in Bellingham so I picked up more tiles to complete the job.
All the tiles were called 4" but the measurements differed a bit. Plus, with the mixed colors, textures, varying degrees of gloss, and thickness we're hoping they'll look a little more irregular and handmade once grouted. They were placed completely randomly. This isn't a fancy bathroom so it's a great place to learn the fine art of tile setting and to experiment with materials and techniques. For a low budget solution, recycled tiles are great and are a huge improvement over the plastic tub panels frequently used.
