Anybody has a bedroom with tile flooring?

[Hector]

I'm converting the backyard shed into a guest bedroom.

I was thinking in going against the grain...and perhaps place tile instead of hardwood.

Since it's in the backyard...I figured dirt is not a problem for tile.

Anyone has a picture of their bedroom with tiles?

I wanna see what it looks like.

You guys think that would be tacky?

Don't ask about a permit...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...lol...

[Hector]

I'm going to bed now...but I expect some feedback when I come back...no...not about the permit...I'm only interested in hearing about tile in a bedroom...lol...

See ya later!!!

The backyard shed?? Errrrr I think floor covering is the least of your problems.

How about stained concrete? I have seen some fine designs and you can do it yourself.

Too funny!

Hmmm,

I'd say maybe a nice unglazed rusty color quarry tile and decorate the room with a tropical flavor.

Use a few Carribian style patterned throw rugs to top it all off.

Since this is an outside shed, the tropics theme will give it a resort bungalow feel.

I don't have any pics but a Family friend used stone tiles. It came out Fantastic. She ended up using an earthtone color. Kind of like a real light brown

Bro I just tiled up my whole house about 3 months ago, it was the biggest mission just because I had to remove the old tile and then lay down the new ones. It's pretty simple to lay them down...if you're doing it yourself( BUY KNEE PADS and something to support your back)

It's cheaper then wood, looks very nice and it lasts forever

just layed down

Damian you and I have the same tile. BTW you did a great job.

Sweet work Damian! You look like you were really busting it getting that old grout out. Looks like a job and a half, but you did awesome work! Certainly give's me ideas for our basement. I take it those white pieces in the second shot are spacers?

really? that's cool bro. and thanx, I did the whole freakin' house and man I thought I was gonna go crazy,it was too much hard work and I'll probably never do it again

putting them down is easy,it's removing it that kills you

yeah those were the spacers,it's worth it in the end if you do it yourself. I called about having someone do it professionally and the prices I got were crazy, I have a 1700 square foot home, it was $5.00 a foot to remove the tile and grout and $3.00 a foot to lay them down plus cost of tile and materials

I did the whole house myself for under $1900,

Our house is ceramic tile from wall to wall. Its flood, hurricane, and dog pee proof. Best thing we ever did here after the hurricane carnage.

Why?

Getting busted?

The cottage was built several years ago...it's still there...lol.

Nah...all my neighbors are tight...my next door neighbor is a cop...and he does the same thing...lol...no snitches around here...plus my backyard is really hidden...it's way back away from the street...and below street level....

Besides...it's Oakland...where everyone does that here...lol.

BTW...this is no pre-fabricated lightweight shed...this was custom made from a master carpenter...it's heavy duty with earthquake retrofitting...it's safer than my house, lol.

Plus it's already has been fitted with electricity, plumbing with hot and cold water....cable...phone...etc...heck...it's even set up with a macerating plumbing unit...lol.

Here you can see how far and deep the cottage is located from the back of the house...
