If you are like most people you want your entryway to make a statement. Let me clarify, a good statement, something saying "welcome, we have awesome style here, come on in!"  I love this functional, yet sophisticated entryway.  The first thing that really pops out to me is the beautiful cement tiles!  When shopping for cement tile you will notice that a large percent of the tiles are black and white, which would be a great way to go if you are like me and love to change up your decor every few years.

Here is another example of black and white cement tile making a statement!  If you are doing a small area, such as an entry way or something like this sun room, cement tiles can be a great way to make that area stand apart from the rest of the house.

True handmade encaustic cement tile can be expensive.  But, as you saw in the video it is a true art form!  I checked out a few sites, one in particular, cementtileshop.com, had a beautiful selection of handmade cement tiles.  The average price per tile was $6.90.  I wanted to see if I could find something more affordable, with a similar look and I found one at Home Depot for $1.97 per tile, only they were ceramic.  I will have to see in person whether or not you can see a difference, but if you want to go the authentic route of homemade cement tile you might be doing what others are doing and do a small area such as an entryway!
