Floor Renovation: Hexagon Tiles in Master Bathroom

While shopping for hexagonal-shaped tiles, these were the ones that caught our eye at Floor & Decor. They sold out quickly at this store location, but we got enough to cover the 550 square-feet we need for our Master Bath floor.

The product is called New York SOHO porcelain hexagon tiles.  Made in Italy.  Its durability rating is 4 out of 5 which was a thumbs-up for us. A bathroom will get plenty of traffic in its lifetime.

The tile & the hexagon shape was featured in

Floor & Decor's 2018 brochure.

A First! Wedding at Big Mansion

Our friends' only daughter recently got married.  The venue for both ceremony and reception was the Lehmann Mansion in Villa Park, IL. 

PROs: 

1. gorgeous, quality-built mansion with wood trim and floors, lots of windows
2. pretty garden
3. open Bar
4. pleasant Servers
5. great food

CONs:

1.  mosquitos in the evening were a-plenty 
2. cars/parking lot was the de-facto background on some outdoor photos. A prettier background via the installation of a tall, decorated barrier is a must.

Bathroom Renovation: Hexagon Floor Tiles for Guest Bathroom

What's old is new again!

We installed good ol' hexagonal-shaped tiles on the floor of each of our bathrooms during our renovation.

Here was how our Guest Bath shower floor was done by contractor Andy, and his trusty Assistant, Luke.

Trendy hexagon tile is a vintage look that’s new again, making it a great fit for old-home updates and new homes alike. It’s a unique shape but is simple enough to blend into a design. And the variations are endless. Hex tile is available in ceramic, porcelain and natural stone, as well as in a variety of sizes, starting from 1- and 2-inch hexagon tiles and going up to 12-inch tiles. For a classic look, try an all-over hexagon tile floor in a solid color in your bathroom or a hexagon mosaic backsplash in your kitchen. To dip your toe into a trendy look, mix and match different colored hexagon tiles, especially those in coordinating colors. But we’re warning you—it might be hard to stop there. -- The Tile Shop
