    tile as baseboards?
    If using the same tile as the floor for baseboards (porcelain 16"X16), how do you trim off the tops of the tile baseboard so there is a finished looking edge? Do I caulk the top in a color to match the grout? Or do I use grout with silicone or something in it? I think it looks fine without anything, but my husband says we need to finish it off somehow. Help

    Check in your big box store and see if they have a ribbon tile you can put on top. If not go to a ceramic supply store. That is what I did and looks great.

    I have also used grout or a bullnose edge in matching or contrasting color. Floor Décor has a lot of samples as does HD and Lowe's.
