Spent some time today considering options for the hearth edging. Pulled out my jar of small hand-cut blue tiles (which are a LOT of different sizes!!) and started playing around. Then I got out all my tile books and reviewed their installations. I've decided this is the way I want to go.
I'll do the edge installation with a narrow grout line behind it, and about the same size gap between tiles (less than 1/4"). When I set the facing tiles, I'll put enough mortar behind them to bring them even with, or just slightly past, the outer edge. The object will be to have a fairly small gap between the edge and facing tiles that I can fill in with a narrow grout "roundoff" bead. Guess this will be my project for tomorrow!!
