my first victorian style floor

[Mike]

here's a couple of pics of my first victorian style floor. i couldnt get a pic of the full floor as i'd just put sealer/intensifier on the tiles hence me by the door going out! as you can see the walls are well out of square(it's an old cottage) the customer opted for the blue infills and red doorways and is well happy with it:smilewinkgrin:

Love the pattern... not keen on the blue but as long as the customer is.. great job though..

 

[White Room]

The walls are all over the shop:yikes:

Floor looks good though Mike

If I ever get the chance to do one of these I'd like to think I'd have a go.
That skewy hallway would really put me off though.
Could you post a picture thread of this in progress telling us how you set out and the probs you encountered Mike?
Would be made up if I did one and it turned out like that.

here's a link to a thread i posted a couple of weeks ago and there's some pics of me starting off. it wasnt too hard as i had a centre to work from and a design (although it was too big for the floor so i had to alter it) my knees were killing me doing it, that was the only problem with the job! and as tenchman informed me i mitred the little red borders whereas they should have butted up. the floor needs to be really flat for these little tiles tho as there's 33 tiles between each of the 4 blue squares! thanks everyone for the replies
