Wow! Not only does that look great, what dedication from DH! I thought you were going to have it done by the tile guy, or am I misremembering? I bet HE wouldn't have set them one by one!

Looking forward to seeing the rest when it's ready, I bet it will be lovely.

The floor looks great Deedles! Your hubby did a great job. nice design too.

That's beautiful work-- even for a PRO, nevermind a DIYer!!

That is fantastic deedles, congratulations to you and your ever so capable husband! What a diy job! Great design too, it is just lovely.

Wow, that is really stunning!

Great job, Deedles!!!
My DH would never be able to do that!
Can't wait to see the rest of the BR!

Really well done. Believe me I KNOW the work your DH put into this. It is Beautiful and reflects his dedication.

Husband YOU RAWK!!!!

Holy c**p!!! What an awesomely phenomenal job! Go deedles' DH!!!

Beautiful Deedles!! What a wonderful man you are married to! He's a keeper!

Beautiful, and its one of a kind. Wonderful work. Deedles' DH, you do rock (and do pebbles).

Holy pepples batman! What a fantastic floor - I can hardly wait to see the whole room completed.

Wow! That's beautiful. And your hubby has patience and then some!! It paid off. :)

I don't think I've ever known a guy who would have had the patience to do that.

it's a wow and awesome both! Hang onto that guy!

That is gorgeous!!! I wanted a floor like this in my laundry room, but ran out of time. Next house!!

I spent last night thinking up patterns for pebble in out tiny upstairs bath that we haven't started yet. I haven't settled on a floor yet, but I think your floor has inspire me. I can just imagine how nice it feels under bare feet!

Thank you all, he's a good guy. I told him "know I now you love me because a person would only do that for love or money and you aren't getting paid", lol.

Kali615: it really feels good on the feet, like a foot massage.

Wow! This is really impressive! And it looks extremely professional. Props!!

Very nice job! Thought people might like to see it without turning their heads sideways:

terriks: thanks! I couldn't find how to rotate the image in photobucket.

Wow that is amazing! Mine would have never done that! To much patience required :)

A couple questions about this, will you seal it? And what will you use to clean it?

Can't wait to see the room finished.

terri: he sealed the pebbles first, then put another 2 coats of sealer all over. I'll probably use the Thieves oil cleaner, it's a good cleaner and mold killer, too.
I can't wait to see the room finished either!

Holy (*&^! Wow, that is stunning!

correction: THREE coats of sealer after the grout.

Thanks everybody for the nice comments!

Deedles,
Two questions:
First - did you put any heating elements underneath? Could you have?
Second - is your husband ever going to be in the Chicago area with some free time on his hands;)

Awesome job.

looks amazing, I'd love to do something like that someday! Just beautiful.

That is amazingly beautiful, both the design and execution. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the rest of the room. Be sure to post more pics!

Katrine: we were going to have an underlayment heat mat, but it raised the floor too much. We're going to live through a winter with it unheated and then if it's too cold, retrofit a heater set-up between the floor joists in the basement. Free time? HA! But I'll ask him ;)

igopp and oly: thanks and I will post more when we get the BR done. Should be before the end of October (fingers crossed)

Wow! That looks amazing.

I'm getting something similar to the lighter pebbles in my shower - never crossed my mind to make a pattern. It's just as well, I'm sure my tile guy doesn't love me as much as yours loves you: )

It'a wonderful. I consider the implementation of something like this in our second bathroom - I chose pebble tiles like in the picture below. I'd like something else to see live, because so far it's only in the photographs I've succeeded. You've done it himself or wynajmowałeś your company?

Seriously, you and hubby ROCK in the aesthetic creativity department!

old thread. dammit!

INCREDIBLE!

Hello I know this is older, but is there anyway you can tell me the kind of peoples you used?
