It's been on the market for a while Shaun. It does keep going down in price. Seems like it started out about 26 bucks a box.

My bad then, first time in Homer out here. Since I am there everyday it seems for something or another. I guess we are behind the times out on the left coast ...[as some would call it]

Stopped at a house this week to look at a walking shower job. Customer then showed me a room in basement that was all misc. Tile and scraps installed on floor and walls.....even the toilet!

That's not the worst. That's pretty creative and somebody spend some time and dime it looks like.

Pretty ugly but someone liked it.

Jason I agree someone spent a lot of time and energy on that but it is ugly.

edit.I didn't mean it as a bad install

Yes I agree, we should be decorating our childrens play areas and bathrooms with big bland tiles, clinical color schemes and designer glass that looks like boring wood. It won't do anything to foster their creativity but at least it will be in style.

I'd probably do a better job but it would also cost more than the house.

That tile job reminds me of a story my dad told me many years ago. Back in the 60's, a lady called my dad's boss to come look at her leaking shower. She couldn't afford the price his boss gave her and she asked if there was anything cheaper that could be done. This house was old and barely standing. The boss man told her that he could price it for a ruble job. They would tearout the old shower and replace it with any partial boxes of tile that they had in the shop. Of course all different colors. They did the job and the lady loved it. A couple years later the lady was selling the house and the new owners were going to bulldoze it down. She called the boss man asking him if there was any way to remove that beautiful shower out of her old house and put it in the house she was buying, she loved that shower. She disappointed that she couldn't take it with her.

Brian I am really starting to hate you for posting pictures of the sun. It snowed here Oct 6th 2012 and still #%£€£{%* snow one the ground.

Lump, that is pretty complex and yet naive work of art and naive art can be quite valuable specially if it is old and if the artist was self taught. Before destroying the tile job, look at the history of the place and the age of the work.

At least contact a mosaic museum or a local museum and ask them whether if they find it interesting and whether it should be preserved. You never know.

It is not ugly. It is just folk art and some of these folk artists do this stuff just because they need to do it and they do it with the materials that they have access to.
