I've always thought doing some kind of cool mosaic with tile would be really fun. Like a big Welsh dragon on the bathroom floor (when, of course, I have a bathroom large enough for the whirlpool tub, sitting area, etc.) Then there are beautiful and completely non-functional things you can do with tile. We met an artist in New York (he runs a tattoo shop in Brooklyn that Adam's tattooist was working out of for a while) who does amazing mosaic artwork–here's his website.

But anyway, I just love the look of glass tile. Glasstilestore.com has a huge selection with a lot of sale pricing (depending on how large an area you're doing, it ain't cheap stuff!) Those little colored 1x1 tiles are supposedly the new trendy thing for flooring (according to this month's Domino), and I do really like the look. When we were researching for our bathroom, we were told to remember that the more grout lines you have, the smaller it makes a space look. So keep that in mind if you want to tile your breakfast nook with 1x1" tiles. I'd love to learn how to set tile myself; I thought I'd be willing to tackle a backsplash or something like that. We did, however, hire a professional for the floor and tub enclosure. So happy tile shopping!
