UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: I managed to squeeze out enough tile I already had to make the original plan work; I just used one less row. That one inch won’t matter anyhow. Sorry for all the commotion folks… move along now, nothing to see here. Pictures are forthcoming though, so do come back now, ya hear?!
So we thought we bought enough tile.
We didn’t buy enough tile.
Unfortunately, they are out of this tile, and will be out until almost the end of May. Not cool.
So we have 6 inches between the aqua glass tile, and black river rock tiles. They had this mosaic that has the same aqua tile in it, so I got to thinking, and here is what I came up with in shitty MS Paint:
I think that it would actually look really good, and kind of retro. Thoughts? Your feedback is DEFINITELY welcome. Thanks!
What would it look like if you flipped the image upside down?
@Russell: Not my bathroom, for sure.
I vote that you wait for the right tile, throwing river rock up with deco type tiles is going to look…well…bad…(and like you ran out of tile and tried to improvise).
Though you might be able to live with it, my thoughts always go to resale (however many years down the line) and someone looking at that and seeing $$$ for what they’re going to have to pay to retile it (speaking from personal experience and recent house hunting).
If you absolutely positively have to finish right now, try to find something more in keeping with the existing style. There’s more than one tile shop in town, have you visited some of the others (or called) to see if they have similar inventory or products?
I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. Where did you get the original tile from? Maybe I can look around up here and see if there’s any.
I agree with Maigh. Patience, grasshopper.
Patience is for losers! Where is your spirit people?!?! LOL Actually, the more I think about the idea, the more I like it. I think it would make it look far more interesting than it already is (and Maigh, I will be interspersing the mosaic tiles up the wall to make a smooth transition, so it does look planned).
Also, the rock was ALWAYS the plan. And it actually looks really good.
Then why did you ask for our opinions?! Hahaha =)
I say wait… just because I like the spa look… but not the retro spa look. YaknowwhatI’msayin’? But to each his own!
@hakeber: I hear you big time. I just wanted people’s opinions. It’s funny, because everyone is either “oh my god I love that”, or “STFU for even thinking something so stupid and wait dumbass!”. It’s kinda funny really. I think that it would look really good either way, to be honest, so I am going to play around with it when I get home and see what I can decide then. It really won’t be as busy as the drawing makes it seem.
