Then, smash ’em up.

Rip out the old floor.

Mix up some thinset:

Then lay the tile out like a freeform puzzle, “buttering” the back of each piece with the goop.

Finally, add the grout. We also did a coat of paint, just to change everything.

I should also note, this was entirely the vision of my far more artistically-inclined girlfriend. I would never have thought of this.

The floor looks good. I’ve seen some this design before. I can say it was a great job.
