A good tile installation starts with the layout.

This bathroom is a good example of some of the details that can easily go unnoticed when a tile job is done right.

In the shower, we centered the entire layout on the back wall. That allowed us to keep the cuts the same size on both sides, as well as balance the layout from top to bottom. Instead of simply starting with a full tile in one corner and letting the cuts land wherever they land, the whole wall was planned before the first tile was set.

We took the same approach with the wainscoting throughout the bathroom. Its height was established around a full tile, rather than cutting a row just to hit an arbitrary height. That gives the room cleaner lines and a much more intentional finished appearance.

The heated floor, shower, mosaic shower floor, wainscoting and full-height feature wall all had to work together as one installation.

The details matter. Good tile work is as much about what happens before the first tile goes on the wall as it is about setting the tile itself.

A few projects from over the years.

I’ve been setting tile for over 20 years, and one thing hasn’t changed—the finished product is only as good as the planning and preparation that went into it.

Waterproofing, layout, transitions, cuts, patterns and all the details you don’t necessarily notice when they’re done right are what make an installation come together.

Arcalect Tile is currently scheduling about 6–8 weeks out, and I’m accepting new projects.

If you’re building a new home or have a tile project coming up, now is a good time to get it on the schedule.

Our friends at LarchLine stopped by the Eureka Farmers Market and ended up sitting down with Megan to hear the story behind Cracked Coconut Skin Care. They included that conversation in their newest video, and we really appreciate the way they took the time to share her story.

But Cracked Coconut is only one small part of this video. If you enjoy Montana life, building, DIY, and following real people creating a life of their own, give LarchLine a watch. They’re working hard to grow their channel, and we’d love to send some support back their way.

Thanks again, LarchLine, for shining a light on another local small business.
