Making Stripes With Tile

i saw this awesome kids bath on scout and nimble's instagram feed and thought the tile was just perfect. not to mention that sink which is on my list for "some day."

done right, tile stripes can look so great! a few more examples...

this idea is great for a budget too because it's an easy way to dress up cheap tile. my advice - stick to thinner stripes and keep it classic so the look doesn't turn tacky.
