blue_moon992 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I need help!! I'm working on the Orchid and I made a Tennessee Vols room......(for those who don't have any clue what I'm talking about, its BRIGHT orange and white lol) Anyway!! This bright room is the bathroom and I am stuck with the flooring. I was hoping to have some kind of a checkered-lineolum-tile (sp) type look to it, but I'm stumped. They don't sell the tile in this color. SuzyQ, you know what I'm talking about for sure!! lol I forgot the cord to my camera, so I'll post eye candy tomorrow.... thinking thinking thinking!!! :yucky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've seen floor tiles made out of DAS before - I'm wondering if you could make the tiles from DAS or paperclay and paint them the colors you're wanting <?> maybe with a light gloss over the paint ? Just a thought, -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 HBS sells some clear tiles. You could put that over something printed or paint the back of it any color you wish. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Or you could do the filch-the-paintchips-from-the-hardware-store-paint-section play in orange & white (how can anyone root for a team whose colors aren't orange & blue is beyond me!lol) and run inerference with a floor template and then immerse them in ModPodge to give them a linoleum look. Go Vols! Go Gators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 You can get lovely bright colours in polymer clay - which makes great tiles! Also, you could check the scrapbooking papers - so many choices these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doogster Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 could you paint the floor blacka nd white in the checkerboard pattern? It'd be prety easy to lay out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought, -David That's correct, you can paint the tiles with acryl paint, and finish it with transparant so they shine. I made my tiles of DASklei but I didn't paint them.

havanaholly Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 paint the floor blacka nd white in the checkerboard pattern ORANGE & white. SEC football this time of year is SERIOUS! (We get to play South Carolina this weekend...) Actually that's a very good idea, too. or use orange and white construction paper, cut it into 1" wide strips and weave them over & under and glue them to matboard cut to fit the bathroom floor, seal it with a gloss acrylic sealer and lay it in there!

Steve_in_PA Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 You could go to your local building supply store , like Lowe's , & in the ceramic tile dept. the have extras of tiles that you can buy individually. They are 1 inch squares that are fixed to a mesh to make a 1 foot square tile. You just cut them apart & glue them down. Then you can grout them for a nice look. I have done this in bathrooms that I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
