...setting the floor tile...

...as a contrast to the white marble...we decided to go with a dark-ish grey for the floor...

...it's called 'fossil'...and it has a dry-rough surface...not glazed...so it should be pretty non-slip...oh...and they're a really odd size...13 x 13...most tile are 12 x 12 or 18 x 18...these are the first odd sized ones I've encountered...

...the dry fit...and making the cuts...

...then it's just a matter of troweling and setting...

...repeat about 40 times...I definitely prefer setting floor tile over setting wall tile...

...and work your way out the door...ready for some grout...

~Have a lovely day!
