Here are pics of the first tile job.

Tile selection:


The pattern (I fixed the triangles) of the runners:



This is not the way to lay tile. I laid the runners first and though I got one angle really well done the other was not so good.


Laid from the center (focal point). just turn your head for full effect.



Here is all the tile laid, just waiting on the grout.
