Table Top Pics

Just read a blog. Got so motivated to do some upkeep on mine I added a some pics.

...care for a table?

Tile Inlay

This tile inlay was created using many different types of tile.
Porcelain for the field.
Glass for the stem of the callas lilly.
Travertine for the callas lilly body.
Corian was used for the callas lilly also.
Stone was used to outline the violet (WI's state flower).
A crackled ceramic was used for the violet body.
And matching grout for the individual segments finished it off.

Glass Tile Repair

I installed this tile almost a year ago for Colleen Horner Kitchen Bath Tile & Stone. It's a VERY neat installation. The owner wanted towel bars installed so another contractor installed some towel bars. Unfortunately the installation system didn't take to well and the owner took it upon himself to fix it. He's quite handy but as many will tell you , it's the edges of glass that are the most touchy.
Here's a few pics of the repair. It's a glass tile with a rubber backing that produces the color and is installed with white 100% silicone. Unique, yes. But its anti fracture ability is out of this world. Hard to repair? Well surprisingly it went pretty well. Have a look.

Kohler Tile-in Sink

A new option from Kohler are the tile-in sinks. No rim for an easy clean up and smooth look.
This one was completed for a client with a Laufen 18x18 porcelain tile.

Subway Tile

4x8 inch subway tile installation in tub surround and as wainscotting in bathroom. Mosaic installation on floor.
One of the nicest subway installations I've done. It was designed by the owner.
The owner is also a member of Angies List and I encurage all of you to check it out. I think there's only two reviews of my business but it's a great site for home owners.

12 x 24 Porcelain Tile from Laufen Tile

Here's a hallway with a size of tile that many of you probably haven't seen anywhere yet. In fact it's becoming more popular by the day. It's in the large format family of tile meaning it's of a larger size than has been normal in recent history. I apologize for not having a better picture. I thought I "had it" and I clearly did not. But you get the idea. I'm sure and can probably make a good decision whether you'd like something like this in your hall or not. The owner will eventually paint the trim also. A good idea in this case.
