My husband is an artist. He can do anything you want with tile..at least I think he can. He has about 300 square feet to tile inside the house and another 300 on the lanai. We decided to tile the breakfast nook, kitchen, hall, laundry room, dining area, and some of the living /great room included the entry/foyer.
First we thought about direction, which way do we want the tile to go, one direction? diamond shape?
Since we have such a big space and so much tile, we though about 2 directions.
The kitchen, hall, and laundry room will be straight lines, since the rooms are smaller.
The rest of the area will be diagonal or diamond shaped. For this we needed to draw lines on the floor, of course to figure out the straight lines. So there we go with all of our Math skills...and they say Math is not good for daily life...of course it is.
We also decided to create an arc in the living room which will have carpet. We chose a berber because of the puppies.
Here are some of our initial lay-outs:
Breakfast nook
From another perspective, here you can see the different directions clearly.
I like it! (ignore kitchen cabinets, we will redo them anyway!)
Now see these pictures with nook almost finished!
We still need to grout, tiles have just been glued down.
