The stairs have been finished. I am over the moon about how they came out. The 150 year old tiles look gorgeous. When I get every little bit of grout off of them, I will seal them so that the colors are brilliant, and then the vertical sides of the steps will be painted a soft color.

Wow, they look great, Diana! Excellent work as always :)
P.S. Make sure you stop by Goat Berries as I've announced the kids' names :D
This must certainly help you get over the disappointment in having to cover the original stairs. LOVE the deep colors and intriguing pattern of these gloriously rich old tiles.
Those tiles are gorgeous. When you paint the verticals, the staircase will be an artwork all itself.
Wonderful.
oh my goodness, those are gorgeous! wow, and double wow!
OH.MY.GOSH. I can't believe those are those old dusty tiles!! You put a lot of sweat equity in and got a lot of beauty (and heritage) out!!
Fantastic!!!
Really these old tiles are pretty!
Excellent.
wow!!
I love the color of the tiles. So rich.
They look stunning!
I have an award for you. Stop by when you get the chance to check it out.
As the others have already said they look stunning, and hopefully, as Mary wrote, they make up for the disappointment of loosing the old ones.
any inspiration for a ceramic work? I know you are think about it....

Hi Diana, Great application of your beautiful and old tiles. I remember seeing them last September and knew that they would become an important design element for your new guest house.
Are those black bullnose tiles at the end of each tread? Looks fabulous!
Cara Diana,
Sigh! You found the most beautiful antique tiles. A déjà vue. Took me back to our hotel in the mountains of Sardinia. Pretty much the same pattern. Stupendo! So beautiful, Diana. Now you can call yopurself Signora Pavimentista. Gosh you are really a Jaco of all trades! Is there anything you cannot master? Bacione e buon week-end! Ingrid in Umbria
Beautiful work. The perfect way to honor the ancient stairs you discovered but were not able to keep as is.
Stairs are one of the hardest areas to renovate. This is beautiful work.
Amazing tiles! I am imagining the huge smile you (and everyone) will have ascending those beautiful stairs! Just fantastic.
