Chic and cutting edge, bathroom black and white tile has been around since the early 1900's. Reproductions of the ever popular fad are popping up in bathrooms all across the world.
There are many patterns, and variations that make black and white tile so appealing. The most simplest of all is the checkerboard pattern. It's an easy alteration of black/white over and over again offsetting the colors with each new row.
In the early 1900's, a pinwheel pattern was established and is still the fad of today. This pattern, is a single black square surrounded by a white square. Over the years, the pinwheel has changed as well. Turning the black square off angle so to speak inside of the white square, giving it more of a diamond appearance.
Marbling is another fashionable trend for the bathroom. The elegance of marbled black/white tiles lends a more expensive look without a huge cost. In some cases, these marbled tiles are cracked purposefully and then placed over a dark colored grout. This hip new twist can additionally be accented with gold leaflets for a bit of sparkle, making the whole piece look rather unique and eye-catching. It is sure to be a topic of conversation whenever you have visitors over to your home.
One of the most attractive looks is the mosaic look. This can be a bit more expensive since finding tile already cut in this pattern is rare. Therefore, you will find yourself creating your own mosaic patterns. It requires smaller tiles and a whole lot of patience. You may want to design this look prior to actually doing it since it can be a little complicated laying these unique patterns of tile and you wouldn't want to ruin the tiles you have and have to pay for new ones. Have the design drawn out on a piece of paper, then try out putting together just one pattern; if all goes well then proceed with the rest of your tiles.
For subtle looks, add a single colored tile to your black/white tiles. The color will easily stand out in the middle of the otherwise neutral color, which makes the color an eye popper and gives a unique and fresh look to your room.
A new and exciting tile is black and white tattoos. They are fun, creative ways to spice up the ever popular look. These tattoos come in many variations of flowers, hearts, paisley's, and kaleidoscope looks.
Another nifty trick is brickwork for your bathroom tiles. The look is created with larger tile at the top of the wall and smaller rectangle ones beneath. The black and white tile can be alternated or you can have one color more than the other. Whatever your dreams are for your bathroom black and white tile, the possibilities are endless, and the only limit is your imagination. You can create modern, contemporary looks, or make it retro depending on how you want the bathroom to interact and fit-in with the rest of your home.

A Fish and Wildlife study conducted a few summers ago found that over 95% of rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout during the summer month had either black ants or black gnats in their digestive tracts. That study alone is reason enough to always carry a few black ant and black gnat dry and wet flies with you. I have caught many nice trout on these flies during the summer months especially when there are no active hatches on the water. When on a trout stream always pay attention to the flies and insects you see on the water. I think you will be surprised at the numbers ants and gnats you will see on the water.
Usually I will always have black ant and black gnat dry flies is sizes 14, 16, and 18 with me. Also I will carry then in both standard dry flies and parachute dry flies. If you will work the ant and gnat flies under any overhanging trees, branches and brush you will be surprised at the number of trout you will catch. Along with the dry flies I also carry an assortment of black ant and black gnat wet flies with me. The wet fly sizes I carry are size 10, 12, and 14. If you cannot coax trout to take the flies off the surface of the water than switch to a wet black ant or wet black gnat and again work them under overhanging trees and branches. Also try working the dry flies around rocks being sure to mend your line properly to insure your fly floats naturally with the water and not across or against the current. Mending your line is a skill every fly fisherman should perfect and practice. If especially a dry fly does float naturally with the current most trout will not take it. Often time I will weight a black ant or black gnat wet fly with a little split shot to insure it works a little deeper.
Again, if in the warm summer months when the trout don't feeding on your assortment of traditional flies, give a few black ant and few black gnat dry and wet flies a try. If ants and gnats are a major part of a trout's diet in the summer than why would you not want to offer them some of yours?
