Kitchen Floor Tile - Tower House




This week we went from raw plywood underlayment to a tiled surface in the kitchen at the Tower House. These are 12" square vinyl tiles, the old-fashioned kind that you have to wax. We have the same tile (same colors and everything) in our current kitchen.
Our plan is to have a 1930-looking kitchen. We have an old Chambers white enamel gas range on legs and a matching icebox to go in here when the room is ready. I also have some salvage wood cabinet doors, drawers and cabinet fronts which are about the right period. I'm still looking for the right kitchen sink.
For this room it took just about 200 tiles and about 10 hours over two days at my typical snail's pace to lay them. Glad that's done!
