To tile or not to tile...

So I'm a day late... sorry, but lets call Labor day a blog holiday to.

I'm posting a project from the past but we still ask ourselves the same question,

To tile or not to tile...

Josh and I found this tray at some garage sale, it had a broken side but with a simple piece of leftover scrap trim it was as good as new.  We hung on to this for a while not sure exactly what to do but we finally settled on trying to tile it.

After breaking up some free tile found at the local Habitat Re-Store, we liquid nailed the pieces to the bottom.  I know using liquid nail to stick the tile down isn't the correct way to tile, it was the simplest way for us to do it.  After waiting a day to let the liquid nail dry, (not including the extra day that we had to wait because I missed a single piece of tile)  Josh grouted around the tile to create an even surface.

This is the final product after it dried.















It now resides in his mom's room as art instead of a plain tray.  Leave a comment below if you have any questions or tips for our next tile project.
