We definitely want that full tile above our counter top so my husband had planned to start there with a ledger and then go back and go from the bottom up. I do love your laundry room and have been planning to do Subway tile in ours! I’m pretty sure your laundry room is one I have always loved and randomly pinned over time- over and over! It’s just awesome!!!

That pattern is anything but random. I love the look of it though, searching for “irregular” subway tile patterns is what brought me to this site.

Did you attach the cement board over the drywall or did you remove the drywall and attach it?

I love the 25% offset and it helped alleviate our math problem with our tile rows. Never tile with a civil engineer. Never!

I was inspired to use the same “random” pattern on my re-tile project and it looks great. It also helps hide the fudging necessary in a hundred-year-old bathroom.

Your post is very helpful. Very sorry for problems you had. Live and learn huh? Hopefully mine turns out as good as yours. By the way what size spacers did you use?
