Sterling. Is this a DIY job?

Despite the look of it right now, it's not a DIY. Installer has encountered a problem every step of the way though :(

Enza - hang in there! If you're at backsplash, I'm hoping you're on the home stretch. Are you living in the house?

Gorgeous tile! I'd go with sterling.

Is this looking awful???

Awfully awesome!!! I like the sterling color better. I love your cabinet pulls too.

I'd go with the sterling.

The tile is beautiful. It just looks a little uneven and bumpy to me. Maybe it's my screen.

Sterling!

Daisychain, thanks for talking me off the ledge. Noting in this house renovation has gone right the first time, and no way I can buy anymore of these tiles!

thansk to all for your thoughts !

That looks lovely! I also vote for the sterling.

I agree with Daisychain. Handmade tiles are perfectly imperfect, and that's what makes them special.

For example, this is an installation example on the Fireclay website for the glass tiles like yours. I see some waviness and maybe a little lippage here. You think they would put a bad tile job on their website? No, it's because each tile is handmade and is not going to be cookie cutter perfect. That is the appeal for some of us, and unappealing for others. It is a YMMV thing.

My vote is for Sterling

So what happened? Did it get grouted? Do we at least get a sneak peak? :-)

Great - such a ton of visual interest. Glad you are going with Sterling -that tile stands out so much on it's own, you don't need to highlight the grout lines. I think highlighting the grout works better for a more plain tile to add interest.

So, I just saw the finished pic on my iPad on your other post. Wow, amazing. I was completely wrong and should have opened up the full pic rather than commenting from my phone. Sorry about that. Gorgeous!

Don't be silly smm; had the same concerns! I'm sooo happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the compliment! :)
