I love love LOVE this floor! And everything else I have seen so far. I want to copy everything..<br />So, do you still have this flooring in your laundry room? How has it held up? <br />One more rookie question: can you put this type of floor directly down on the existing vinyl? That sounds like it would just make it stronger and more durable. And way easier :) <br /> Be on the lookout for more rookie type questions!

I did it on the diagonal, which makes the room look bigger. I also did a large mosaic of an 8 point star in the center. I used a chocolate colored grout, and it looks beautiful. I adore autumn colors, especially copper!

So he spread some sort of leveler on the floor to fill in the grout lines and make it smooth. Then we put down some those same peel and stick tiles (different color). They look AWESOME!! You can't tell they're not really tile. Cheap and easy to install. And they've lasted more than 2 years. In a bathroom where 3 small children are always spilling water out of the tub. They still look like they did the day they were installed! I love them!!<br /><br />PS. I love how your trip for spray paint turned into a new floor. So funny!! That would be me. I'm easily distracted.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377532936827579658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-43036032242444779742011-10-06T12:32:23.120-04:002011-10-06T12:32:23.120-04:00Sounds like how most of my "big idea" pr...Sounds like how most of my "big idea" projects start!!! :) Thank God for fantastic husbands! :)<br /><br />We used that tile in our main bathroom (different color) and grouted in between so it looks even more like real stone. We also used the peel and stick "wood" planks (from Lowes)in our basement office...not a fan of those as much as I am the floating resilient flooring (Home Depot). You have to worry about the p&s coming undone or being able to see the lines in between the strips and I don't see those being an issue with the resilient. We have it upstairs in bedrooms and on the main floor in a hallway. Compliments galore. <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do with your laundry room!!April @ just enough sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449361318520772816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-58337434668921482202011-10-06T10:13:00.097-04:002011-10-06T10:13:00.097-04:00Looks awesome!

Our laundry room is only 45sq ft so we figure we'll test it out in there for a while then decide if we want to carry it through the attached kitchen. I'm so glad to hear people say theirs have lasted so long! We really can't afford anything else at this point, but the floor in there is shot so we need to do something!Alisahttp://www.beehart.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-14097803886785367202011-10-05T18:51:17.403-04:002011-10-05T18:51:17.403-04:00I have the same kind of 'tile' but in a gr...I have the same kind of 'tile' but in a gray with some reddish accents.

I got a $3000 estimate to put tile in my entryway, bathrooms, and kitchen (all small - I live in a townhouse), which has kept me from upgrading my current ugly linoleum (I'm on the Dave Ramsey plan!). I definitely want to try the peel and stick instead! I'm hoping I can just put them over the existing linoleum.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495016137775764887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-5557180243915685602011-10-05T17:23:06.980-04:002011-10-05T17:23:06.980-04:00LOL I just saw those tiles the other day and was c...LOL I just saw those tiles the other day and was considering them for my sisters new kitchen...

Ours are the longer tiles in a grey colour, but very "slate" looking as well. We just LOVE them - they look exactly like the real thing, especially with the grout. I quite literally just started a blog - perhaps I will post about my laundry room project at some point and show you a picture.<br /><br />Anyhow, excellent job - I think it was actually fate calling you into that laundry room that day, because the new tiles are just perfect!<br /><br />Take care,<br />Christina<br />designingbynumbers.blogspot.comChristina @ Designing by Numbershttp://designingbynumbers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-11872855602899246322011-10-05T16:15:59.299-04:002011-10-05T16:15:59.299-04:00I'm moving into "the little blue house&qu...I'm moving into "the little blue house" as it's been dubbed, in Tulsa, in two weeks.

Someone had put the stuff you used over CORK BOARD floors. I kid you not. Not plywood. Oh no.
