Ideas for using left over tiles...

[sblunde]

Takeaway shop near me being refurbed. Mosaic everywhere - floor, all the walls, counters and the shopfront itself. Evidently they had a fair bit left over, so they decided to mosaic the door as well. Nice.



See how neatly they have tiled around all the old ironmongery:



They have used ProRapid RS, so it might stay on at least until it's been slammed a few times.

The door?? Different...

Hmmm. it may stay on for a while. unless they have one heck of a hydraulic cylinder on the top to keep it from slamming.

 

[sblunde]

Yeah. I wouldn't want to get my fingers caught in it on a windy day.

Some people have NO taste! (IMO)

Nah I don't like that. They should have just flogged the tiles or something.

Caught you say.........they would be lopped off.

Well the photo's were too close to be able to give an aesthetical opinion as to the benefits of the appropriate usage of such eloquent tiles.
However as an old tiling mate used to say at the end of most jobs - 'another monument to man's dexterity in the face of adversity'.
In this case 'waste not want not'.
