  • Beautiful Job...Really beautifull.. Did you butt them together? I am going to do a similar job in my bathroom. The Home Depot ones have a slight camfer on the edges, so if one butts them together, they still have visual joint.. Does this then need to be filled or do you leave a 1/16nth joint or such inititally... Appreciate any info.. Great Job..Can't beat natural stone..

  • @Peek4pony I used 1/16" spacers as I like a narrow grout line. It is all a matter of taste. A sixteenth is as small as it gets. Some say you can do a zero spacing but I have read it is not advisable but if you were very careful to level and true each tile I guess you can do it. Be sure to use a non-sanded grout so as to not scratch the marble.

  • You did a beautiful job! I just picked some up yesterday. Me and a Home Depot sales assistant, sorted through a bunch of this marble to select more pink in the tones! I designing a mermaid bathroom. It is a very small bathroom and going into the shower will be moonquartz round stones that are cut flat and are white and pink in tone! I am so glad I watched your video, now I know I better go back and grab some more, for wall trim!

  • Good job! What did you use for the transition to carpet.

  • @thelicensedcpa The carpet transition was a piece of "L" shaped aluminum. The long end of the L has holes through it and is placed under the tile and secured with the thinset morter used to cement down the tiles. I placed the tile right to the edge without a grout line. These transitions are sold at Home Depot for this purpose. They have several different styles but I bought the cheap one.

  • @KentDoub

    Thank you for your quick response. Your transition looks flawless. I'll be using your technique or at least attempting too. Thanks again.

  • Beautiful! Sheer luxury! Like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas! That would be a nice countertop for the kitchen if you seal it properly. Maybe your friends could pay you to make a marble countertop for them. I used to have a marble slab built-in in the pantry because our house was built late 1800s and it's very nice for piecrust, candy, etc.

  • Great job! I was just down at Home Depot & bought a piece of this to try out in my living room. Your video was an amazing help to my visualizing a wider swath of the marble. Like you, I love marble & would much rather walk on interesting, varied stone than any other material (ceramic, porcelain, etc.). I think you just sealed the deal for me. Thanks for posting this video! Our living room is about 100 square feet & the tile is no longer on sale, but still a good price. Thanks so much!
