Is there a designer in the house? Interior design mods.

[ron]

[p]In keeping with the CL idea of low weight, we have done some mods.  I was also reluctant to drill anywhere, so I have avoided this.  My lovely wife has an interior design  degree, so most of this is her ideas.   [/p][p]

[/p][p]Flooring: Installed 2x2 interlocking oak look tiles from We Sell Mats.  $95 including shipping for a pack of 18.  We had 4 complete tiles and a few pieces left over.  Tiled entire 14dbs plus bathroom and dining floor area. [/p][p]

[/p][p]Installed bathroom rack by removing an existing screw, adding a plastic washer and hanging the rack.  Unfortunately we do not store a great deal of items here. [attachment id="777" thumbnail="1"][/p][p]

[quote timestamp="1429902141" author="@paul" source="/post/9896/thread"]I like the floor a lot! wow[/quote]I also have the exact same floor tiles and I am very happy with them.    They are a vast improvement over the aluminum keeping your toes warm when walking around on those cooler nights/mornings.

I have the same tile but dark cherry veneer.

I'm installing the same type of floor in our 16TBS this afternoon and making a mess of it. There are so many odd angles and intricate cuts around the wall trim that I gave up and just made straight cuts. Looks awful. As an analogy, I'm not a finish carpenter and make no secret I'm happier with 2X4s than with trim wood.


That being said, anyone have any hints for how to get the tiles to look as good as the installation in ron's photo? That looks like a perfect fit!

[shovelhead]

Make construction paper templates then overlay on tile to make cuts.

I'll give that a shot, but I'm not optimistic. 

[ron]

Yes, paper templates are the way to do it.  Fold the paper into the angles and then cut with scissors

[shortcircuit]

Better yet, just put the construction paper edges up against all the outside edges, and tape them all together. fill in the interior with large pieces to hold it all.
No need to use the scissors!
