Does anyone here have experience using this product? http://miniaturedesigns.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=12_281&sort=20a&page=1 I'm particularly interested in the "faux-marble" tiles. I'm not convinced they look that much like marble, but I've been wanting a really gleaming blue/green/aqua glass tile effect for my tub/shower surround, and so far this looks closest to it. Most of the colours come in 3/8 inch, which seems about like the right scale for bathroom walls to me. I thought I might buy 2-3 colours in the blue/green/aqua shades and mix them up. There are threads of glittery gold running through them, which would totally work for what I have in mind. And apparently they're 1/16 inch and made of acrylic, so wouldn't add a lot of thickness or weight to my walls, and supposedly aren't too hard to cut. That said, these things aren't cheap, and I'd really prefer to see a photo of them actually in use somewhere, and understand better how they are placed/spaced/grouted (or not) before making a purchase. I've scoured the internet but can't seem to find much in the way of pictures of them in use, and I haven't been able to find any reference to them on this forum. Thanks! Emily

Recently we visited the Whitney Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana. There is a shingle-sided church on the property that caught my eye, plus extensive faux finish (marble) and decorative painting in the main house. I've posted a few photos in a new album in my Gallery.- 14 replies

From the album: Whitney Plantation, Wallace, Louisiana
The main house of the Whitney Plantation on the German Coast (along the west bank of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is done in the Creole style. An itinerant painter worked on many of the fine plantation houses in this area. This is an detail of the faux marble on the exterior of the house. It is original to the house and has been meticulously cleaned and restored. This faux niche on the back gallery is the most intricate part of the exterior painted decoration.© Katherine Bennett 2014

Whitney Plantation Back Gallery Window and Faux Finish

An itinerant painter worked on many of the fine plantation houses in this area. This is an detail of the faux marble on the exterior of the house. It is original to the house and has been meticulously cleaned and restored. The back gallery is done in more flamboyant colors than the front gallery. This door leads into the upper floor sitting room. I like the effect of the original wavy glass. It's not apparent in person but came out beautifully in the photo. You can see through to the door on the other side of the room and out to the front of the house. In the hot summer, both doors were open, which created an air flow that helped to cool the room.© Katherine Bennett 2014

It is original to the house and has been meticulously cleaned and restored. The pillars on the upper gallery are painted to resemble marble. Interestingly, only the interior surface is treated this way. Both sides and the outer facing surfaces are painted white.© Katherine Bennett 2014
