I can't wait to see the finished product. So, I hate to ask, but how is the bathroom coming along?Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676968898443291140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11829543.post-12169177311337454702008-06-27T07:58:00.000-04:002008-06-27T07:58:00.000-04:00thanks for the link to the pics. i see what you a...thanks for the link to the pics. i see what you are talking about. your kitchen is BEAUTIFUL. wow! the tile looks really great, but the chips still concern me.carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378386887745278416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11829543.post-43654109921489803312008-06-25T14:14:00.000-04:002008-06-25T14:14:00.000-04:00I hate to discourage from the tile.

Instead, I decided to be boring and go with a more neutral. I posted some pics on my blog. Just click on the flicr link and they will be under the kitchen remodel set. Maybe this can help in your making a more informed decision. Most of the "flaws" are located under windows and cabinets and under outlet covers; therefore, unless you get right up on it (like I did with my camera) you can't see them. <BR/><BR/>BTW, another "characteristic" of the tile is that the edges are not straight, so grout lines are also not straight. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. Again, good luck!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676968898443291140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11829543.post-29983516261908570652008-06-25T11:29:00.000-04:002008-06-25T11:29:00.000-04:00thanks for the info! i'm a little nervous about t...thanks for the info! i'm a little nervous about this tile now. i'm into the antique/aged look myself but i'm not sure that i can handle chipped tile. thanks so much for sharing your experience.carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378386887745278416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11829543.post-9846644053339977192008-06-24T12:30:00.000-04:002008-06-24T12:30:00.000-04:00I used the Meredith Art Tile in my kitchen for the...I used the Meredith Art Tile in my kitchen for the backsplash (gave it a subway tile look). I love the way the crackle finish gives it that old look; however, when the tile is cut to fit around light switches, windows, electrical outlets, etc. parts of the crackle glaze fall off. My husband kept reassuring me that the grout would camoulflage it...it did to an extent but in places it is still pretty obvious. To me, it was not a huge deal because I like that antique look but if that type of thing is not for you, I would not recommend it. Good luck...I know how awful picking out tile can be - it is such a permanent (and expensive) decision.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676968898443291140noreply@blogger.com
