Sorry for the typo in the subject. I use two different keyboard layouts, so I am prone to wacky typos, but the A isn't close to the E on either one so on this I have no excuse.

I wanted to post a link to another recent thread. The top part of the discussion features mostly solid color tiles in interesting shapes, but if you scroll down there are many beautiful photoshopped pics of patterned tile.

I would love for someone to tackle this with wood stained cabinets instead of white/painted. I'm looking for inspiration!

So, this would qualify?

While it isn't exactly what I was thinking of, I think that the way the tile is applied qualifies. The designs of the tiles don't connect to each other in an interconnected pattern, but here they are used en masse and the overall effect is similar. So if I'm the arbter, I say okay.

Just bumpin', really....

I'm thinkin I'd (gum chomp, gum chomp) just use it as a fee-chuh, and then go really nuteral. Let the one speciahl tile be the stah. (gum chomp).

I'm looking forward to this thread, like the title too! (Prefer the Australian accent to Marcolo's).

So many tiles, so little time!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with as well.

Marcolo: I suppose you are "speaking" non-rhotic Boston (Quincy?), but I am "hearing" non-rhotic Long Island!

Actually, I was wrong on my last comment. I think that on LI, the special tile would be closer to the "staw."

BTW, thank you for you kind comments the other day. I only found out about them belatedly through the magic of Google Cache.

No prob. BTW I use Firefox and never see the option of opening a cached page anymore. Don't know where it went.

If you hover your mouse over an entry from a Google search, you will see two small, grayed out arrows/chevrons on the right-hand side. If you then mouse over those chevrons, a preview of the page it found appears on the right of the page. At the top of the preview, there is the linked URL and also a link to the cached version.

Oh, that's where it went. I just checked it out, and it satisfied my quota for entitled infantile shrieking this week.

I really wanna participate in this challenge but man is life not cooperating.

Man, I cannot believe you waited until Friday to fill that quota. Mine is usually gone by Sunday afternoon, Mon. AM at the latest!

(Really just bumping here...)

I've finished one design and am working on another. Hopefully other folks also have irons in the fire.

I've got about 5 or 6 in the works. . . I start one, then get stuck and can't make a decision and start another. Am definitely in a creative slump. . . I'm determined to push through it, though! :)

Where dos one go to see the designs when you marvelous geniuses have finished? Colored patterned tile is definitely in my future (Only One Clown), so I'd love to see what everyone comes up with in their designs.

Well, the plan is to post a separate thread for the finished designs. Usually we give people a week to work up designs, so you can expect the "Post designs here" thread on Tuesday.
