Tiling Begins

Tiling really began over a year ago when my sister, Mindy, met a creative Cuban artist named Remy.  His medium is tile/stone and he hails from Florida where he completed intricate designs in Mindy's home.  Discussions led to our arranging to "import" Remy and his assistant, Andriel, from Florida for our project.  Arriving with several "visions" for unusual designs, the conversations, layout, tweaking, and finally cutting began.  The guest bathroom in the Hamilton Cabin was the starting place.  Variegated autumn slate was cut into different widths and laid out with offset grout lines for visual interest.  A piece of flat limestone was broken in two and rustically fit together for the bench seat. 

Music and singing filled the cabin as the guys set to work.  Calls back and forth to Jerry and Steven who supplied the slate created a parade of supplies managing to find their way into the remote wilderness.  Jerry was indispensable in making the project able to continue.  As usual, there are many people to thank, many to whom we are grateful!
