Edwardian Tiling With A Modern Twist!

@padtheplumber
Hey Mart,
Haha just noticed what your tiler uses as loo roll!
'Wonder Wipes!'
Not surprising really eh! Hahaha

Marc, they were to wipe away his tears when he realised he'd stuck 300 tiles up and only covered 1 wall......lol

Haha I'm not surprised!
Still least the sanitary ware adds some colour to an otherwise stark clinical hospital rest room look! 🙄

Well that horrible dose of metros looked far better (still painful and takes ages) than I thought it would and I have to say, it looks quite smart.

The pic doesn't quite show the anthracite as dark as it is in real life (the light I think or my silly phone camera) but the thing that made them look really good was the silver grey grout on the white ones. With white grout, they all merge a bit into a mass of white but the grey just sharpens up the whole thing a bit. Maybe the client did know something after all.

So silly me shows the wife. "See" she says, "they do look smart don't they". You can see where this is going ....

That's a lovely job @StephenR - I think its the OCD part of me that likes Metros so much, when done perfectly like yours I love the symmetry, angles and lines.
