For a while, learning to put up tile has been on my list of things I want to learn to do. I've brought home so many samples, held them up here and there, dreamed and priced, but enver actually done anything with it.
Until now.
I love this drum table I bought a few years ago from World Market (www.worldmarket.com)
It has this perfect little lip around the edge that is the exact height of this tile I bought last week from Lowes, although for a completely different idea!

These glass tiles are sold in sheets; the idea is that you install the entire sheet as a unit, making your project go fast. I started taking the tiles off one by one (I'm into my third sheet now, and placing them around the table.
This is my third attempt, and I'm starting to like it. The larger tiles were great on the outside rows, but got too large for the middle. I pulled out another samples I had of tinier tiles, starting tearing them off the sheets, and am really thinking this pattern will work.
I really am going to do this: I have the supplies to prove it!
I'll let you know how it turns out...I can't wait! And if it does, I already have my next tile/woodworking project in my head.
Only two questions remain: How do I get the pattern off and back on easily (I have an idea there); and how....
do I keep my assistant from eating the supplies?
