THE TILE SHOP HELPS FIGHT THE SWINE FLU... Effectiveness of Superior Adhesives & Chemicals Formulations Against H1N1 ...How To Make A Tiled Outdoor BarHow To Build A Tile Bar - Indoor or Out

I wanted to share with you our thoughts on choosing a tile for the Master Bath of a home we are building.

The house we are building is a simple farmhouse style. The appeal is in the views, open space and honest use of materials. Decorative touches can come later, from furnishings, accessories and things people have. If the construction elements are too decorative, then personal items that are added later will overload space, we feel.

For this reason, we prefer to let bath tile be a background element, rather than a decorative feature. No contrasting backsplashes, colored stripes, carved tiles or other accents that draw attention will be used.

Here are the tile choices that were considered:

White subway tile: Subway tile has been popular in recent years, and we see it a lot. The old vintage version of this tile is a 3 x 6 inch, flat tile, with square cut edges. Today’s version is thin, with rounded edges, and is often a little pillowed. Somehow the modern version looks a lot like the basic 4 x 4 bath tile that is commonly used, but with a different shape.

Colorful ceramic tile: There are some beautiful ceramic tiles to choose from. Some of the new 4 x 4 bath tiles have great lush color, and they would have been fun to use.

Travertine: We have used Travertine several times in bathrooms, and were satisfied with the choice. It is durable, and inexpensive. The problem with Travertine is that we are tired of it, and it is a bit too busy for the room.

Slate: We have used slate in the past, and liked the earthy, rustic look. However, this time it was too strong for the room size and style that we wanted.

Leuders Limestone: This is a grey-tan tile that is cut from Leuders stone, a dense limestone quarried in north Texas. Leuders stone is often used as an exterior material. It is indigenous to our area, and a good fit with the Texas farmhouse style.

We settled on Leuders Limestone as the right tile for this house. It seemed to pick up and continue the natural grey concrete floor. The walls are off white (Sherwin Williams – Raime), and trim is light sage green (Sherwin Williams - Nacre). The color palette is stone grey, tan and green.

The tile came in 16 x 16 pieces. Our tile man cut them to make 8 x 16 and 4 x 16 pieces. These were alternated to create a pattern.

Developing the user interface of a professional software application is not easy. It can be a murky blend of data, interaction design, visual design, connectivity, multithreading, security, internationalization, validation, unit testing, and a touch of voodoo. Considering that a user interface exposes the underlying system and must satisfy the unpredictable stylistic requirements of its users, it can be the most volatile area of many applications.

Tile is an in demand material use in interior finishes of modern construction. With its wide variety of designs to choose from, you could really play with your imagination by putting this decorative tile into an interior masterpiece. Flooring was never been that good since the tile was invented homes were given a different touch of artistry and beauty. Great post.. I hope to see more designs.
