#74 Herringbone Terracotta Pattern | Renovating our Abandoned Stone House in Italy

We bought this stone house in Italy during the pandemic in 2020. The house was a ruin and we saved everything we could, unfortunately that meant only four stone and clay walls! The back wall, against the terrain, was close to collapse; the roof beams were eaten and basically reduced to dust; the inside separation walls were easily taken down and the whole project turned into a heavy renovation/rebuild.

Follow our journey as we turn this old stone house into a beautiful home 😊.

  1. That Herringbone pattern looks gorgeous! I am also a big fan of turning the tiles to a 45 from the kitchen to divide the space. Small details like that make the floor look more elegant. Be sure to seal the tiles after you finish the floor to prevent mold, there is a glaze and sealer available for that. As always, excellent work!

  2. Beautiful! The transitional section is a really lovely way to separate the two rooms. It makes sense that this last room will take longer since it appears to be the biggest room in your house, and the pattern is GORGEOUS! You're both doing such a great job! Blessings and keep going! 🙏💞👍Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all ~

  3. So a few weeks back I asked why not lay the tiles this way vs the screed bed. But I couldn’t explain myself well. Was it because of the tile thicknesses? New vs old tiles? Just curious. I love the herringbone pattern and the transition. I thought the hazing on the old tiles was because they were reclaimed. I kind of like the white haze. But hopefully they clean up well for you. Can’t wait to see the floor finished and see how you choose to seal it and grout it. Thanks for sharing.

  5. It's all coming together really nicely. You must be sick of laying tiles by now 🙂I hope the vinger will solve your problems with the laitance. I just LOVE that stove but I'm finding it hard to find a supplier in my area (Gers area of France). Looking forward to next week.

  6. Despite everything, they are still made by hand and are therefore subject to certain irregularities. But they are beautiful and fit perfectly into the room and the laying pattern is the most beautiful in the whole house so far. ❤
    By the way: great transition!

  7. Bonjour, le résultat est magnifique 😉 pour les remontées d'humidité et de salpêtre peut-être aurait-il fallu attendre le séchage complet (Terre cuite, chape… beaucoup d'eau tout çà) avant de procéder au traitement. C'est une piste à creuser. Bravo et bonne continuation sur votre projet de rénovation et ces savoirs faire quie vous mettez en avant, ça fait plaisir à voir.

  8. Seriously, why you are choosing terracotta? It really look not so good. And its a cold material. All the rest is from stone. Why didn't you put wood on the floor. It would give the stone house a nice warm touch and also would be much more comfortable in the winter time.
    I don't know if there is a polishing and finishing face of the floor, because right now it really don't look very nice, imho!

  9. Wow, beautiful work! That pattern is lovely, but I know the hardships with irregular stone tiles. Me and my gf experiences the same at home, with different thickness of marble tiles. I hope you'll find a solution to the issue with mold/salpeter! All the best, Niklas!

Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday season, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peaceful greetings from the USA.

  11. The herringbone pattern looks nice. Just curious, are you guys going to grout between the tiles once the floor is finished (dry)? I am assuming that you are waiting until all of the floor is finished before tackling that task. Good job guys, be safe.

  12. De vloer gaat echt mooi worden. Benieuwt hoe je gaat voegen. Tip: als je de vloer dweilt tegen het salpeterzuur zorg dan dat al jou produktzakken verwijderd zijn. Dan ben je zeker gans de oppervlakte hebt gedaan😉😂😂😂👍❤
