Those look great. A tiler and a general contractor both told me that it's virtually impossible to install the mesh-backed pennyrounds that are available today, without winding up with unsightly spaces where the sheets line up. Spacers don't work. But I was asking about vertical installation for a backsplash, which would be more difficult than flooring applications.
