Lesson learned. I know it's hard to anticipate everything. It helps to be on the job everyday if possible.

If you hadn't said something I wouldn't have known.

Look at it as a modern twist on Moroccan tile. I wouldn't waste my money on a redo.

That makes me feel better.
Lol, thank you.
Yes, moving forward, my Husband will be on site.

I loved the way it's installed!

It looks beautiful =)

Thank You so much!

That's too bad. Generally there is a lay-out pattern/instructions in the box. At the very least, we would ask when there is a choice like that to be made. That being said, it's still a lovely result (if you can "pretend" that you didn't know the difference). Most of our clients wouldn't accept it though - just saying.

Greekprincess, I turned my laptop to look at the tile pattern how it should have been installed, and I do honestly like it better how the installer did it. But you are the one who needs to be satisfied. Turn the picture sideways and see how you like it better. Gorgeous tile by the way!

He installed the tile as if it were a quatrefoil, not a Moroccan tile. But it is a Moroccan tile and that pattern is installed with the points up and down and the rounds on the sides. I don't see why this should be on your dime if you want a do ever; so that the tile is laid with/on the correct orientation.

It is beautiful. I would leave it alone!

Greek princess, I am in the middle of a bath & kitchen redo. Stuff happens. Sometimes mistakes end up being opportunities. If it will drive you crazy every time you look at it, change it. But I found that sometimes keeping perspective on the big picture is important. I frankly like it the way it looks. Unless you are planning on entertaining a group of Moroccan tile manufacturers in your shower, I wouldn't worry about it! LOL

Quatrefoil! That's right!!!

Maggie,

Lol. True!!!!!
Good luck on your projects and Thank You. To be honest, I'm not dedicated to the Moroccan look....

I really just don't wanted it to look
Upside down or installed improperly, that's all.

Thank You for your comment

The installation overall quality looks very good. Leave well enough alone. Who is going to see it? It is very beautiful. You have learned an important construction lesson. You can assume NOTHING. Details must be spelled out in writing and pictures! Tear outs usually result in messes not good outcomes. Good luck.

From one Greek Princess to another? This is beautiful. That said, you've discovered a bit of a defect in the install. Just present it like that- "WHOOPS! Things happen" and let the installers take care of the fix.

Don't change it. Really cool.

This is why we as designers do detailed drawings and meet with the tile guy to dry set everything before installation and make sure there are no questions or misses on his part

Old saying .. measure twice cut once works here too. Never assume the tile guy knows what you want just because he's done this for 20 years

However, I don't think it looks bad how it's done .. just not the traditional layout of that pattern... but if it bothers you now it's still going to bother you 5 years from now.

It's gorgeous!

Trying to figure out how this happened. Maybe your tile guy was laying down on the job, lol.

BTW, I agree it's a gorgeous tile!

To me it looks like a happy mistake. I wouldn't have thought to lay it in that direction.

Forget the direction- you've already said you like it. The loose tiles need to be fixed- shored up- or you'll have a nightmare fairly soon in the wet area.

It looks better this way!

gorgeous. either way. Looks fine like this. No one will know, but you. where did you find this tile? was this a custom water jet you had done on this stone?

My dear, I came home one weekend to discover wall paper had been installed up side down in two rooms and an entire hallway. It was my fault. I should have told the guy who hung it which way was up! That was 40 years ago. Guess what? I learned from that "mistake." You will learn from this one...and be that much wiser the next time around. Trust me....not much gets by me now! And when you take a shower and look at that tile, SMILE! It is unique and only YOU know the story behind it. Own it! And move on....

It is stunning and like another comment said, if you hadn't mentioned the direction I would never notice

Actually, since it appears your frame is a horizontal rectangle....I personally like it better this way.

It really is a gorgeous tile, and as feyenjudy said works better with the shape of the feature panel.

Juanita, εψχαρισο :)

Gray and walter, thank you!!

Beth, thank you :)

Thank You Everyone! I really appreciate it. I'm going to leave it!
I got these tiles from Tile Shop in Danbury CT

Ptreckel, lesson learned! Absolutely.
I will do that...just smile. I absolutely live the tile itself and it was installed beautifully....Thank You!

Lainey, thank you very much. All your comments are very much appreciated

Feyen and Diana,
My Husband said the same thing, so Thank You. As much as I know he really hated the thought of removing the tiles, he said if I want it done, it's no problem. Luckily, we have extra tiles, so he meant it. But it's true....
It THINK it may look better.
I decided to leave it. The tile us going in the niche, same exact way, lol

you are a trendsetter!! now everyone will want their tile that way :) it is beautiful

Juanita,
"The loose tiles need to be fixed- shored up- or you'll have a nightmare fairly soon in the wet area."
Which tiles are you referring to?!
They're not grouted yet, but what loose tiles?!

Another vote for leave as is. Gorgeous!

Jennifer,
Haha, that would be hilarious!

Love it- leave it!!

Thank You Susan!!!

Handcrafted House,
Thank You very much!

greekprincess80- my mistake. I read "picked up a loose tile" and thought you were referring to something installed, rather than an extra.

Juanita,
Oh ok...You scared me!

What will be the best art work for this bathroom?
Basketweave floor
Double sink vanity
Blue accent wall
Blue marble tiles accent wall
Glitzy light fixtures
Thank You!

beautiful. silver metal frame, whites/blues, pinks. flowers, or landscape or seashore, seashells, tons of ideas. even OliverGal prob has some canvas art you could use

zebra, blue leopard! or stay with monochromatic. black/white/gray in a silver frame. do you take your own photos? maybe shoot something cool where you live. or close up of flowers or trees. Art is very personal, so it's hard to pick something for someone else.

These are gorgeous ideas! Thank You!!!

Where do I find these?

lol, sorry! 2,3 and 4

I need simple and ELEGANT!

Gimme that bathroom!! Love!!
