First Time Tiler

Hi,

I've never tiled before or even tried!!! I know it's quite sad compared to some of the things the rest of you have done but with some advice from Tudlytops I went ahead, it's only 8 tiles i know but I've more planned and I'm ridiculously proud of my 8 tiles lol

Hi Melissabell, well done on your tiling. It doesn't matter if it is a big or little job. It's getting started that counts. I just started tiling too and once you get a bit of confidence, you start to see more projects you can take on. Check out Shonaster (a member here) to see what she has done with broken tiles. Amazing - and if you can do tiles in a shower, you can do any tiling. go girl! Kleenqueen.
