Subway Tile Layout

Our first subway tile layout dilemma of this past weekend... do we go with butterfly or wrap around style corners? Ryan and I completely made these terms up, so I found a couple of pictures to illustrate what we're talking about.

The one on the left is what we're calling butterfly style because the tiles are the same size on either side of the corner, and they look kind of like wings (at least to us!).  The other type's tiles are cut to look like there's one full-sized tile wrapping around the corner.

We went back and forth on which way we preferred it. When we worked the math out though, we realized that we'd have the same size tiles in each of the four corners if we went with the butterfly style. That appealed to the neat-freaks in both of us. Here's a shot of our handiwork.

As you can see, one of our cats, Sabi, is very interested in this project. She's been checking it out daily, but I bet that ends as soon as she figures out its true watery function. 

We're really excited to finally see this project moving ahead!
