it looked great. it is so beautiful. it took me at least 6 months of pinterest to find this tile and i love it and nothing will ever change that. but really, when they tell you to not lay handmade tile yourself, they mean it. i've laid tile before and it was a walk in the park. in general laying the hexagon tile went fine. but after a while i noticed a crevice forming between tiles. as i continued it got bigger and bigger, i continued anyway because i am so persistent, it ended with a 1.5" gap between tiles, and i tried to tell myself it was fine and it was under the vanity and ryan tried to tell me we could live with it for now i knew none of those were true so it all came up, we had to reorder a few more sq ft, ryan made an executive decision that we're not allowed to tile anymore, and we spent 1 month of evenings scraping cement off the backs of tile.
and now we're back to here.
the lessons i am learning are the opposite of what i thought i would be learning. i thought i would be learning how to properly remodel a bathroom start to finish. instead i am learning when to admit defeat. i am learning that doing it right is more important to me than having a bathroom again ever. instead i am learning the names of really good tile installers.
