Morning, sweetie....enjoy your tiling.....I'm staying put today....dehairing the hearthrug and doing some sewing.....though I have had an idea which means taking off the utility room door.....x

I know you wouldn't do that TWR,
it's your putting them up back to front that worries me!
When you've finished Mrs_O's friend needs a tiler. Fill your boots!!
My late father in law papered the bathroom as a surprise for his wife.... all the fishes were swimming upside down....☺
Ah tiling. One of my most worrying jobs prior to starting, but it's amazing, keep swearing at the wall and tiles that don't seem to want to be flat and eventually you have it done and it doesn't look bad at all. Can be quite satisfying after the event. Do check you are getting it flat and straight at each point though. Use a baton tacked up for the first horizontal line of tiles.
BTW from the title I thought this was going to be for a less well known magazine ;-)
Years ago at our previous house, OH said he would tile the bathroom. We got nice blu water splash tiles and a narrow patterned tile to do a run half way up. I went out shopping and left him to it. When I came home OMG he had completely c***ed it up. The main tiles were rectangular, he had put them on with the widest edge going horizontal. Then he had put the patterned tiles on so they did not match in size, as they were the size of the narrow edge. It looked awful but too late to do anything about it.
Tsk. Everyone know those long tiles need to go on at 45°.
