Re: Black&Blue - What do you think?

I'd have preferred a slightly more abstract stencil design (something like twisty lines, a bit hard to describe) but this was the best I could find. Didn't want to buy an expensive stencil, so I had to contend with what the big box store had. Actually I'm surprised they carry stencils at all, must ...

Re: Black&Blue - What do you think?

Hmmmm, kind of Gothic in vein but if you like the look, go with it. Funny, the posting above reminds me of my main bathroom; art-deco in nature, subway tiles are black, white & this sickly seafoam green color breaking up the other two in the middle. I need to repaint the room and other than brig...

Here's the problem, the tiles are held in place by a thick, heavy adhesive that it extremely difficult to remove (The floor to the 1/2 bath I've spoken of here ...
