Travertine and Mahogany Floor Reveal


Yup, here it is.  The moment you've all been waiting for.  :)

My entryway floor is finally complete.






And because everyone loves a good before and after...

Remember this mess?




Trial run....measuring and figuring out tile placement to minimize cuts.





Mahogany border measured and cut.  Corners cut on 45 degree angle.




Mahogany border nailed in.  Another dry run of tile to make sure the placement is correct.







Cement board placed as underlayment to travertine tile.






Tile is cut and finally installed.  Grout fills any small spaces.






Mahogany border stained with Minwax Walnut Stain and sealed with wipe on poly.

Tada!







XOXO,

  1. Jean, GORGEOUS! Love the tile, the contrast of the border and the surrounding floors! How pretty. If only I could magically turn my 80s icky tile into that! Enjoy.
