I was in Sutherland's this morning and discovered they have some glass tiles on clearance. I was able to get enough to do the downstairs bathroom (behind the vanity) for only $9!!!! What a deal!

Just another thing to put on my to do list. I LOVE putting up tile!

Okay, so how did you learn to do this well? I need/want to tile my entire bathroom and even tho it is small I am cringing at it.

That's wonderful! I hope you have fun and really enjoy the results. I have many home improvement tasks ahead...bought a fixer-upper....fun, fun, fun

The good thing about fixer-uppers, besides the price is that you can make them the way U want, instead of someone else's taste.

They are a creamy white with a metallic copper running through. Really pretty.

I watch a lot of home improvement shows. And I bought a great book at Home Depot that tells how to do all kinds of things. It is put out by Home Depot and I bought it 10 years ago!

I put the 12" ceramic tile on the floor in that same bathroom and it was really fun. Not perfect but neither am I! :wink:

Will wait patiently...still working on my house along with the sewing/quilting projects. Maybe i'll get some pics up about the time you do. :thumbup:

I love tiling, too. DH won't let me put up any more!!!! LOL You got a GREAT buy! Congrats!

oh my, i wish you'd come over to my house and re-do my bathroom floor. my hubby put down some stick on tile over some he couldn't get removed. well, they all didn't stick well and are slipping under the others. it looks a royal mess!!

What a great deal! Looking forward to seeing it. I like tiling too and did the bathroom in my last house. I got glass tile for around the fireplace in my current house and my son put it up.

Excellent....and good for you doing your own tiling. We are off to buy tiles soon - we are currently kitchenless...whole room is empty and freshly painted, waiting for our cabinets and tops to be constructed. We bought all the appliances at half price months before the project went ahead (just as well the kids moved out...plenty of storage space!).

I haven't done much tiling, my husband is really good at it (bit of a Mr fixit kind of guy) so he gets to do it at our place. I just do some mosaics on benches and pots etc. tiling is a very satisfying thing to do. My mother tiles, lays bricks and is a keen painter and decorator.

Sometimes there are courses at the bigger hardware outlets and short courses through technical colleges....a skill well worth learning.

Thought you might like to see a pic of the tiles I bought. Hopefully I can get them up before too long!

earthwalker 11-27-2010 07:25 PM

AgapeStitches 11-29-2010 08:05 AM

Your tiles are beautiful...can't wait to see them up in your bathroom...will be gorgeous for sure.
