Renos at home

EDIT: Split off from another thread

Yes. I am a socially awkward, horrible person who gives bad advice and has no life.

When I get a chance I will try to post some pictures of the tiling we are doing at the build. I will tag you when I do.

 

Haha..the one and only time I did tiling was a disaster..tiling over holes..and scrunched up paper to put in the wall to fill space and tiled over it..

cant wait to see yours. Sure its much better.

 

Yeah, here’s a picture of @Leo2413 last tiling job. I hear he run’s tiling courses now:

 

Sad to say, it's almost as bad as my attempt...

 

Well I can assure you mine would be much worse. The closest I’ll ever get to tiling is a Night Out on the Tiles.

 

@Leo2413 and @Nodrog... amateurs.

Sneak peak because I have to get back to work. Sorry for the dodgy phone camera

 

My Dad renovated his bathroom about a month ago. He used a variety of tiles. And left the 1970's vanity in place. Oh, he says the pink bath will come back into fashion too....

I simply have no other comment.

 

Nope, no good. The centre tiles don’t match the lines of the outside tiles. Do it again.

 

lol. I was assuming that was the before photo.

 

Here’s an interesting one. When @Perthguy redoes his job this could provide some inspiration:

 

I wish.

There's no way he'd take it. There's a stubbornness (and a lack of taste?) factor. Him and mum also painted a main wall of the living room a mustard yellow colour 3 years back - to match the 1970's curtains... At least that's easily fixable.

 

A man with style.

There is a rumour going around bell-bottomed trousers and bloomers will be coming back in fashion too. You've been warned.

That's two G&T's I'm owed but I'll defer the second until tomorrow.

 

They are different sized tiles and will never match.

For bonus points, the outside tiles are 10mm thick and the inside tiles are 8mm thick

 

I think I would have used the same size tile in a contrasting colour

 

Next time you go to buy tiles I think you better take @Leo2413 with you. Even he can tell which tiles are the same size. Better still perhaps take @gockie’s dad with you. He seems to be able to match tile colours better.

 

I didn't see any I liked and it would have meant a third tile in the room. The stripe up the wall is the floor tile, which I like. What I don't like is how light that grout dried. Although it does look good with the main wall tile.

 

@Perthguy its looking pretty good. Only thing that makes me very irritable and stirs my OCD is that line up...

 

No, wrong diagnosis. OTD, Obsessive Tile Disorder.
