It was just like that scene in Ghost, only without the shirtless dead guy and the sappy music


I finished cutting all the rest of the funky pieces yesterday, and got them stuck in place (and completely failed to take pictures of it.  Please to be using your imagination)

The tiles, they are not flat.  They are not all the same thickness.  They are not square.  The grout float refused to put the grout in the spaces between the tiles, so I had to do all that with my hands.  It was kind of nice, really.  And then it looked like this:

And now, a couple hours and a bit of buffing later it looks like this:

There is still more buffing yet to do, and some caulk to add, and the fixtures. Then a couple of dump runs, and several hours of vacuuming, and maybe some sense of order will be restored. Maybe.
