When I was walking down the aisle, the first thing I noticed were the tiles. Colorful and bursting, as if joy itself were contained within them, they contrasted sharply with the pain I felt inside. What had gone through their minds to put something like that there? Was it a chance to cure? A sign of hope?
David Young
The walls, ceilings and floors were covered in tiles. The light shone through a whole in the ceiling that also let in the elements. The light from the pinhole in the sky poured light into the room reflecting of of the surface of the tiles.

The game board was tiled, white and black and white again.
“Your move,” he grunts. White always moves first.
I put a pawn forward, beginner’s bait, fearing for its life.
Myona
I got tiles, they don’t hide now. I like to keep them where I can see them (hiding in plain sight, if you will). My bathroom used to be tiled, before I moved anyway. This new one is smaller, and it has linoleum.
Adam
We spent the weekend on our knees and tiled the bathroom floor. Now it is sleek and shiny and we love it!
Paulie
My dad loves to do all his own home improvement projects, but I’m not sure if he’s ever tried tile. I wish I would have helped him more when I was a kid. It always looks good, and I’m sure I’ll want to know how to do lots of stuff that he would have shown me.

The untiled kitchen floor was perfect for dancing on. It also caught my tears the day after. Everything has to end, I know – I understand. But I don’t WANT it to. My world is one of dancing and crying, joy and sorrow, past and present. The tiles are arriving tomorrow.

bathrooms are usually tiled with any colored or patterned tiles. once when i was in japan i went to a natural hot springs that flowed out of the rocks into a nicely tiled pool. tiles tiles tiles. tile is an interesting word. in german, “teil” (pronounced the same way) means “part or piece”.
Lindsey
My roof is made of tiles. pretty tiles to be exact. they are the same as everyone elses, but mine are better. Why? becuase they’re prettier. duh. out of time oh shit.
Mike Jones
Whenever I walk around I count the titled floor. If the tiled floor is composed of different colors I’ll sometimes pick out one of colors and only walk on those.
Tiled floors are quite nice but I like wooden floors better.

where bthrooms are filled with and it prevents liquireds from staying and ruining all sorts of terrible situations and so you don’t have to clean it up with carpet cleaning which is really difficult and time consuming. but tile and be that as well

the kitchen is tiled with a blue tiles. they’re cold and my hot cat who is wiser than any human i’ve ever met sleeps on them when it’s too hot for his thick fur.

like a bathroom floor. A hard flat rock that makes everything look clean and organized. But, this also increases the risk of slipping and falling on your head. While dangerous ( in some idiotic cases ) this is a important thing to have in your bathroom. I have some in mine. They are wonderful for my feet
Max
Tiled is what my bathroom is.
It is an interesting concept that is being over used by many a overpriced interior designer. the most annoying thing about tiling is grouting, It’s so messy
Claire
the roofs were tiled, layers of red and brick.
Tiled. My life, layers of similar shades
Tired of so many things, so much the same
Tiers so much more interesting

we have a lot of tiled floors here in AZ. They are beautiful to look at, but dangerous when they are wet. I miss the hardwood floors we had in New England. Yes, the spanish tiled floors are nice to look at and fit AZ, but I am homesick for Massachusetts.

i tiled a kitchen once. It was quite a job. No one was home at the time so i took my time and tried to do a good job. I used white tile with accents placed about eye level. It was fun.

I do not like tiled floor I much prefer carpet. I once lived in a house where all the floors were tile and i couldn’t stand it. I felt like the floor was costantly dirty and I would be sweeping all the time.
dakshina
The bathroom was tiled with dirty pink and black tiles. A retro room with tiles I didn’t like. Can’t it be retiled?
Chris G
That’s how the floors in our old house were. Worn and cool and smooth, I would lay on them during the hot nights, making pictures on the stucco ceiling above me.
You stayed over once. We talked of fish and bears and you said no.

I covered my tiled floor with grotesque pictures in order to always look up.

I looked down at the tiled floor, now stained red.
“Oh my goodness!”
I hadn’t payed any attention knife coming down over and over as I was running around the kitchen.
“This will never do.”
It had splattered all over the floor and began to congeal in the grooves between each tile.
“I have company coming over.”
I looked around my now empty kitchen and wished that I had some friends to help to clean up…but they were all gone now.
“I suppose I can’t let anyone see this.”
I was a little paranoid about what people thought about me…
“Tomato juice always gets everywhere…”

He had pockmarks all over his face and basic, the resulting aesthetic that of a tiled mosque heaving for water during a sandstorm. His eyes, though, his eyes were an aquiline blue, so deep and rich that you couldn’t help but drown in them.

A small kitchen is filled with the heavenly aroma of beef stew. Nearly heavenly aroma that is, for the children hate beef stew. The stew splashes as father stirs it. It coats the black and white ceramic tiles with a layer of meat, potato and carrots.
Shaun Vain
The bathroom was almost compete, aside from the fact it was not yet tiled. This is because the tile company had acentently sent us 10 tiles instead of 100, due to my mothers unfourtinate typo.

The heavily-tiled room echoed as he stepped in and shut the door. When he tried the handle just seconds later, he found he wasn’t able to get out again.
He could hear every sound his body made as he stood in that unforgiving echo chamber.

Walk on the cubes. try not to trip between the lines. walk on the squares of multi coloured stained ceramic cubes. Try to be mindful with every step you take.there are crocodiles waiting outside the line.

The tiled floor felt cold beneath my feet. The tiles were bright blue and arrange diagonally over the entire floor. It gave one the feeling of floating over a body of clear blue water.
skye
the floor she lay there exhausted sad alone, it wasn’t her fault, the needle dripped slowly daintily, oops, cest la vie huh? Every momment drained another slice of glorious humanity, seeping out of her already delirious mind.

Out on the tiled floor.
That’s what I always thought about listening to that Led Zeppelin song “Out on the Tiles”, but then the lyrics seemed to have very little to do with being on tiled floors…
Yet I couldn’t help imaging, picturing black and white dancefloors in some dark club, away from here…
Mags
Like the floor I walk on. Like a checked bored. like a game of chess. Life, It’s tiled. You follow a yellow bricked road to the end, you play it like a game.

One pigeon sat on the teracotta-tiles roof. A man standing beneath thought ‘A mundane life is a happy one’
