Bathroom Tile Selects - DSC00777.jpg

Glass mosaic tiles that I'll fix into place on the pinwheel mesh to save labor/money on the retile. The pattern will have blanks where the mosaics go. All I have to do it squig in some mastic, center the tile, press it flush. 1280 times. Hall bath will be blue, master bath will be '50s green.
