Ceramic Basement Floor 3

The next two pics are close-ups of the base tile around the brick fireplace. And below are pics of the field tile. For some reason my camera wouldn't take good pics from far away so they are not that great. But you can see the size. It ended up being 500 sq. ft. in all.




Country Kitchen Floor

Below are pics of a floor I tiled. Pics of the same kitchen's back splash, which I did, are in the "Country Kitchen" entry below. For this one, I just thinset-ed and screwed Durock over the existing laminate floor. This raises the floor a little bit, so I used the gold ramped transition piece at the entry for a smoother transition. I also used the bull-nosed base tiles to give the floor a finished look. I chose the staggered brick pattern to allow the smallness of the kitchen to appear a little busier. I also think it looks classier than just the "corner to corner" pattern. 

Not sure if I'm showing off my smooth transition from carpet to tile here or my new vegan Macbeth shoes.
