@ Nl1960, Tiling up to the ceiling depends on your taste, design and your budget. My house is not tiled up to the ceiling both Kitchen and Bathroom. The plan of the house is open type where the kitchen flows to the family room.

@Am alone. Those tiles up there are beautiful. Is that the master Bathroom?

@ Mahabone
I stumbled on the PVC floor you are talking about. They are cost effective and you cannot tell they are not real hardwood. They are also durable. You can even get the tile version. Let me see the sample you are talking.

As for the above listed pictures, they are a little bit pricey but not expensive. I will post some expensive ones that is twice the price of the already posted pictures. I just shipped out some lovely tiles.

@ Mahabone
I did not get all these from my Tile Handbook. The handbooks are actually for Naija tilers that wants to work with me. I have some concepts I always show them in those books for mosaic designs, custom bathroom, tile countertop and wall niche. I have been trained already as a FM to identify floors and maintain them. I will definitely patronize anywhere in Nigeria they sell original porcelain floors that will not fade. Other than that, I will resort to importation per project.

@ Kikeige
What is the total size of the area you want to cover?
Do you want to try 3 different colors (of the same family) in a home or you want to use one set/color through out the whole house?

@ Egin
I have sent you an email. Send a phone number I can call you on.
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of My House (Oluwa Champion) by Sprumbaba: 3:53am On Dec 05, 2011
@ mahabone My Tile na Tile slang has nothing to do with the price. What I mean is that they do not give a detailed difference between Porcellain and Ceramic tile. Porcellain is much harder and durable than ceramic and some ceramic are much more expensive than Porcellain. You also want to make sure you get a very good ones and original.
I am presently managing a commercial property in lagos and the tiles were installed this April and they are now fading because they installed this cheap ceramic tiles.

@ Am Alone, those picture you post, most of the grout you are seeing are not white. Some are off white/beige/cream . The one with black tile is white. You can use white on black tile for contrast purpose.
If you use white on your present bathroom tile, it will still come out good. When you are done with your house,
I will do post-construction cleaning for you. Don't let anyone pour acid on your floors. Send me your email.
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of My House (Oluwa Champion) by Sprumbaba: 11:46pm On Dec 04, 2011
Thanks Casey.

@ Am alone - make sure you seal your granite counter top after installation.

Lets all enjoy the developments. Oluwa Champion

The name of the posted granite is called : SANTA CECILIA
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of My House (Oluwa Champion) by Sprumbaba: 11:22pm On Dec 04, 2011
It is a complete granite in 12 by 12.

The 4 by 4 for wall tiles/back splash is marble.
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of My House (Oluwa Champion) by Sprumbaba: 11:10pm On Dec 04, 2011
Hi,

The tiling is Okay. Always tell them to use spacers going forward especially for your floors. Also make sure you dont have much lippage on your floor tiles.
Thanks for the granite pricing.  I was thinking of using granite tile like this picture. infact, exactly this. It has a closeup edge.

But something like this can be used for other places in the house other than kitchen. The total cost for the posted top is cheap.

PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of My House (Oluwa Champion) by Sprumbaba: 10:48pm On Dec 04, 2011
@ Am Alone

You are welcome. Really you can get most of these things in Nigeria. I have enjoyed your building process and your taste.
Let me ask you:

What are you using for the counter top in your kitchen?

Thanks
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of My House (Oluwa Champion) by Sprumbaba: 8:12pm On Dec 04, 2011
@Am Alone
I will like to correct you that Casey was right.You should not claim you know it all. You also have not done your research very well.  There are 2 types of Cut inTiles:

1. Rectified
2. Un-rectified Tiles

Both type of cuts need spacers but rectified could use the thinnest grout and thinnest spacer.

Furthermore, in Naija, we dont know the difference between Porcelain tiles and Ceramic tiles, Tile Na Tile. The line you are calling is what they call Grout lines . The norm is to march your grout line with the color of your Tiles not just white cement on brown tiles.
If you need a book on Tiling I can send one to you to guide you in doing your tiling project.
I supervise custom flooring projects and Import them as well.
I purposely placed this 3 tiles together for you to see. The 2 with closed edge is Rectified, while the other one with space (That has a gap) is un-rectified.

ebay $400 - I bought a printer and paypal took my money. The guy did not ship and Paypal with all their lies did not give me my money back. The said they could not get anything from the guys account.

Paypal seized my money for close to a year .That is a fraud to me.

We do not patronize wood floors so much and I hardly see it in homes. This is what Am alone should get.

My advice to you.
@Poster
Dump the girl.
Keep many female friends as much as you can and you will see how lucky you are.

The last time this happened to me, my wife was among the 7 ladies I had after 1 week of heartbreak.
