One of the best investments we made was our 10 in. Rigid wet tile saw. Theres nothing this thing can't (and hasn't) cut. Big tile, small tile, other people's tile and more often than not, subway tile.
Picking out tile was surprisingly pretty easy so far. The backsplashes in our house are all off the shelf subway tile from Home Depot. It's super basic, durable and cheap when compared to other alternatives out there. The look is classic and its easy to install.
For the basement floor we went with a silver hex tile from The Tile Shop. We absolutely love it although it turned out to be a huge pain in the butt to install due to our basement floor being out of level. Seeing as how our basement floor is from 1926, it created some unique elements when it came to putting such a complicated pattern down in such a large area. The corners of the basement floor pitched up and the middle dipped down. Lets just say that it took a lot of time and patience to lay the tile out properly in a pattern before mortaring it in…
