ShareA few days ago, I thought I had found the coolest tile floor ever. A few days ago, I might have been wrong. Because I just spied this PLAID TILE FLOOR on Houzz, and my life is forever changed.
Look closely, rub your eyes, squint, and then pinch yourself like I did. I cannot believe this is tile, and not carpet. I also cannot imagine the kind of patience needed to lay down such a work of art. A doff of the cap to you, Andrea May!

There's NO way that's tile. No way.
Bet you a dollar. Go to AKDO.com look in the collections section, you will find the plaid patterns under the Fabric collections or just type Plaid into search function. We make all of our designs in house w natural stone on mesh mounted sheets. Glad you like it…..
it's ugly..looks more like some kind of rug..i know i would not even think of putting it in my house..my cats can pee on it..lol
I'm not so keen on the tile, but that mirror is gorgeous!!
I found some beautiful porcelain 1 x 1 to do a 2 row accent — Empire black swan or something like that. It's a dark charcoal color which will pick up the honed black marble in the basketweave floor tile and my charcoal vanity. Loving it!
That sounds lovely! Good luck with it.
I cannot wrap my head around this being tile. The amount of work and concentration involved is so intense!
I like the other parts of the bathroom, but I don't care for the plaid floor. It reminds me of 1970s carpeting.
I think it'd be great in a 1/2 bath–w/RED towels for guests! is it tile or is it material?
The floor is a mosaic from a company called AKDO known for its interesting mosaics. Here's a link: http://akdo.com/products_detail_coll.asp?pid=1832…
Kate – thanks for sharing this link; their tile is beautiful!
I like it but it is a very busy pattern that would appeal to only a few and something that I would get tired of fairly quickly. I wouldn't want to put that much time and effort into laying tile with a design that I couldn't live with for some time.
No I don't like it at all.
It's not to my taste, but having tiled several bathrooms I admire the patience and care it took to lay this!
I like it! It looks like a pair of pants I had in 1970, but had a red stripe instead of beige–unless that's red and looks like beige on my computer. Love it all!
Woah, how did you do that!? you replied to me without it even being on the forums. thats amazing!!!!! Thanks for the info and I will keep that in mind. I have big brothers email now. Im really tired of seeing comments being deleted for no reason. It has happened to me before. I always thought there was no real admin and comments would just be deleted upon request without even being reviewd.
I know what you mean. Banned me from KOMO. I see him lurking my page and the pages of others, some of which were also banned from KOMO. I don't get it.

Very Nice post…….I like to read that types of post…..It gives great knowledge with us…..
Really Helpful post……
In the United States, the first seaside resorts in the European style were at Atlantic City, New Jersey and Long Island, New York.
In Continental Europe, early resorts included: Ostend, popularised by the people of Brussels; Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) and Deauville (Calvados) for the Parisians; and Heiligendamm, founded in 1793, as the first seaside resort on the Baltic Sea.
Windows are held in place by frames, which prevent them from collapsing in. Many glazed windows may be opened, to allow ventilation, or closed, to exclude inclement weather.
I absolutely love it for a powder room. You're allowed to get whimsical in a powder room.
