Hi! I am using smalti and travertine for the first time. Would appreciate any advice. I’ve been using the smalti both on the smooth side and the cut surface. Not sure if that’s the way to do it or not.

Thanks!

Living room floors are tobacco acacia. Thank you.

Hello, we are moving into a house with a pool end of June.
We have two young children aged 3 and 2. I have enrolled them into swim classes that start July 20. The pool already has a perimeter fence. I need advice on how to secure this area.
We are looking into surface alarms, gate alarms and door alarms. What do other people do for their pools?

Thank you. Picture of pool attached.

I got thingamabobs a plenty.

After weeks of putting this on the back burner, IT IS FINALLY DONE! Going to grout it in the next couple of days.
Which color accent feathers should I do?

Bright teal or dark teal?

Thank you all for all the encouragement!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your advice on this project thus far. I’m back yet again for advice/opinions. I don’t like the andamento on the inside of the ‘e’. Am I being hypercritical of myself or should I change it?

Also I’m thinking cream grout.

Thank you!

Hello! I’m making a present for a friend. Any advice on the flowers? I think I need maybe one more type of flower? Should I keep the center of the big purple flowers yellow or blue? Or just make them out of another color of vitreous glass/ceramic?

Thank you!
(Don’t worry, I’m going to fix the leaves that look blunt).
