The oak tree tile trim pieces finally were ready last Monday and came out surpisingly okay, so this past week has been spent installing them. I just got done grouting them last night, so a little bit of clean up is needed. Other than that, I'd say another chunk of the dining room remodel is complete.It wasn't a cut and dry install as the surface I was working on wasn't exactly level. In the picture below, it shows how the cap would have looked if I just used 1/4" spacers under each piece. This was fairly hideous, obviously, so I ended up using all different thickness of spacers to get it all level.
Wow! What a project. It really came out nice. What is behind the stove that the tile ducks under? Is that a window?
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg!
ReplyDeleteThe jog in the tile layout is actually a wood support for the chimney. Scary, but it's been like that for over a hundred years, so I guess it works.
