Bathroom tiles at Tea Source in St. Paul. There are ocean pebbles
screenprinted onto the tiles -- for that underwater feeling, I suppose.
Photo taken at the The Moravian Pottery & Tile Works, Doylestown, PA, USA. A fantastic museum where they still make tiles followiing Henry Chapman Mercer's methods and design.
Tiles are made from white polymer clay, textured, baked, and each is painted and accented with at least two colors of acrylic paint.

Everything is symmetrical around yellow. Red green and blue are each 120 degrees off from the next, but yellow is the same from all three sides.
Note that this creates a problem, though. The set has 4 sets of 14 tiles (one set without red, one without blue, one without yellow, one without green) and that makes 56, which isn't divisible by 3. The symmetrical arrangement looks a lot like a snowflake, using 54 tiles.
Seems odd that a collection of four sets of tiles should work out so nicely -- almost! -- in an arrangement divisible by three. Two tiles left over, hmph!
The two extras are the two 'toes' in the foot of the 'snowflake-tree' depicted here. The tiles themselves contain the arrangements of three-corner-without-yellow as you might expect, once you think about it. :) The corner-triplets are the hardest to place, and seeing as how yellow is symmetrical throughout the rest of the arrangement, there's no yellow involved in these two extras.
And via rotation, these two leftover tiles can fit around the small snowflake points anywhere, so there's that consolation. Makes it seem more like 60 tiles that way, which is divisible by both 3 and by 4. Warm fuzzies for the mathematician gene.
4 Saturdays at a school learning how to tile, a bag full of tools and a tiled bathroom under my belt = unstoppable!
We saw this ad for tiles in some magazine yesterday and Sebastian is thinking to tile one wall in the bathroom similar to this for a spa-like feel. I think we could do this ourselves with a little Homo Depot encouragement! (shot on top of the current issue of Gourmet - a happy accident!)
All the tiles are fit, cut and placed on the cement board with adhesive. Next step is the grout, my least favorite part.
This is the tile in C's bathroom. It is just about the ugliest tile I have ever seen. Goes especially great with his mint-green striped towels.
I hate having roaches in the house. Our landlord claims he has someone come out and spray every two months, but I don't see how that's possible, judging by the thousands that breed outside our front door.
Last night I was in the bathroom when I heard several screams and heavy thuds from the kitchen. When I went to check out what had happened, I found a visibly disturbed Cheyenne holding a flip flop. It had slowly slid off the counter and down the cabinet by a string of entrails, apparently. She said it was the "worst thing I've ever seen".
These are some handstamped and painted tiles that I did a while back. I made about 30 of them and gave most of them away. I don't know if I will ever do any more of them.
Our crews did a wonderful job with this full tile shower. It was professionally waterproofed before we set any tile!
Notice a seat in the corner of the shower. You can also see the handheld shower head, which was installed in addition to a standard shower head and body sprays.
