Hi, I had some of my rooms tiled by a pro and he took off my wood baseboards and made baseboards from the tile.
I am now trying to tile another room on my own. Does anyone know how to make the baseboards ? Do I baseboard 1st or floor tile 1st ?

As specific as possible would be great!

Thanks

Tile the floor first. This way if your cuts along the wall aren't perfectly even you will have the thickness of the base tile to "hide" the cuts.

You can buy bull nose tiles (tiles with one rounded edge) and use those as baseboards. If they are too high, cut to the desired height.

To cut the tiles, use a tile wet saw or a tile cutter. These can be rented.

Skibereger is right. Think of the trim just as you would trim on a christmas package. Do the floor first and then the baseboard second.
