I've been MIA this last week because I have been tiling my daughter's bathroom. She decided to go with larger tiles set on the diagonal. Wow - that is a whole different animal! Makes me admire you even more, JoeV! (I recall being so inspired by a shower you did set on the diagonal.) Anyway - I am almost done with the tub surround and then will start on the floor.

BTW - thank you, thank you, thank you, Love2Q!! You sent me a tip once about fast-setting thin set - that stuff is amazing! I don't think I could have done this without it.

Thanks, TG! It's been a lot of fun and since I'm unpaid labor - I have no real deadline. LOL

I love tile. Hubby use to do it, but, stopped when he's knees got bad. He was really good at it. I miss my old house that had tile in the bathroom and kitchen. I really like the ones you picked out. Very versatile for decorating the bathroom.

That looks Fab! I have to go out today & look at flooring tiles for the bathroom. Had a guy give me an estimate; & the price was $800-$3,000. I'm choking. Wish you'd come out here & do mine. ;-)

My daughter picked out the tiles by sending me phone pics while at Lowes. The bathroom is relatively small and I am pleased to see that the larger tiles actually make it look bigger! She is putting this house on the market and since there are quite a few in her neighborhood listed, we're hoping that the upgraded baths and kitchen will make hers stand out. Keep your fingers crossed.

Really??? OMG! I think DD got the tile on sale so the floor and the tub surround cost her about $350 total in supplies and tile.

It would be so much fun to do yours with you, CC! Wouldn't we have a blast?

Very nice job. I want to do one of those jobs, but I would rather help some one do one first before I do my own. You have quite the eye for it.

Terry, you and Barb can come work with me anytime. Fine job, and it's nice to see you paid attention to the corner transitions. That makes the difference between #1 work and everything else. Diagonal work definitely takes more attention to detail, the most important being the placement of the first tile. After that, it's easy.:tongue::tongue:

Wow! Y'all sure know how to make a person feel good!!! I have enjoyed learning to tile. There are sooo many really good videos and how-to's on the net that make the learning curve much less steep.

Joe - I am delighted you noticed the attention to the "wrap-around". I have you to thank for that. You have no idea how many hours I spent studying the pics you posted of that amazing shower you did with the handmade tiles.

I didn't even think of the corners. I do when I tile, though.

Great job.

No Dee, I can't think of much she doesn't do.

Wow....that is fantastic work, FM. Very clean work.
One of these days I've got to do similar work in our master bathroom.
