What: Large fields of small blue squares
Where: Marin Civic Center, San Rafael
When: Photos taken Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Why: Looking past the rather industrial overall room, we love the way the large tone on tone fields of small tiles work, and think this could be great inspiration for a home bathroom.

The post clearly says, "... looking past the industrial overall room..."
The photo was meant to highlight the use of tone-on-tone tiling and its effectiveness and I thought it was very successful at that.
Please read the post carefully before spewing sarcasm.
oh what a cleaning nightmare! I think, even looking past the industrial overall room, it's just a boring look. You need SOME contrast in a room....or at least *I* think you do. I think even in a home setting, as well, it would still have a very industrial feel..or "bathroom in a small office" feel. No, I just don't see it...
This looks too cold and institutional for the home. Plus I agree with amiencc that it would be a cleaning nightmare.
A friend of mine has a bathroom tiled similarly. It is indeed a cleaning nightmare, and after three years, it started to look really gross.
nah.
and i don't think deepa was out of line at all.
can we still wright dirty things between the tiles---that would give it a more personal persona!
Or we could stick our fruit stickers on each tile for that really homey look ! :-))
