Of course, their house was built in the 1950's, so it definitely belongs. I think what you've done there is really fabulous, and it has a good 1920's feel to it, too.<BR/><BR/>For the hearth, I might consider wrapping the step with some sort of board-and-molding treatment to carry the feel of the mantle and surround and bring it to the floor, then maybe continue the green tile on the hearth itself. I like the suggestion of the longer tiles for the hearth, though. I think the small squares would look a little busy on such a large field. You could even consider going geometric, and doing something with larger tiles and the smaller tiles in a pattern--another very 1920-ish thing to do. :)deaduser539539https://www.blogger.com/profile/01560441050834603349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731861535598776199.post-37735645333497993622008-02-04T05:03:00.000-08:002008-02-04T05:03:00.000-08:00Wow!

Actually, it looks fabulous as a PERMANENT solution, too!<BR/>For the bottom... what about doing slate tile again... but a different size/shape of tiles? Like maybe the long skinny ones instead of the squares?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377889829748572675noreply@blogger.com
