Child pageants have been a topic of controversy for many years, with concerns surrounding the potential exploitation and objectification of young participants. When combining the concept of naturist freedom with child pageants, it's essential to prioritize the well-being, safety, and consent of all individuals involved.

It's essential to distinguish between naturism and other social practices that may involve nudity. Naturism is a distinct lifestyle that emphasizes social nudity in a consensual and respectful environment. Any discussion of naturism should not be conflated with other practices that may not prioritize consent, safety, or respect for individuals.

Naturist freedom, also known as nudist freedom, refers to the right of individuals to engage in social nudity without fear of persecution or judgment. This concept is rooted in the idea that the human body is a natural and beautiful entity that should be accepted and respected, regardless of age, shape, or size. Naturist communities and organizations advocate for the freedom to practice social nudity in a safe and consensual environment.

Education and open dialogue are crucial in promoting understanding and acceptance of naturist freedom. By engaging in respectful conversations and providing accurate information, we can work to dispel misconceptions and promote a culture of acceptance and inclusivity.

In conclusion, the concept of naturist freedom is complex and multifaceted. When discussing a hypothetical naturist child pageant, it's essential to prioritize the well-being, safety, and consent of all individuals involved. By engaging in open and respectful dialogue, we can work to promote understanding and acceptance of naturism, while ensuring the protection and well-being of all individuals.

We started with Clé Tile’s modern farmhouse brick in matte white. I love the handmade quality and the color variation. No brick is exactly the same and thats what makes this install extra special. Next, we used TEC Power Grout. This grout is much more stain resistant and holds form better during the application process. We used it in “bright white”.

Next, to get the spacing, our tile guys cut leftover pieces of the terrazzo we used in other parts of the house in 1″ stripes. This can easily be done with wood strips but we used what we had on hand. These strips were then removed as the thinset cured.

That is it! I don’t think I would use this treatment on a steam shower or a bathroom with poor ventilation. Our shower doesn’t have a door so it gets plenty of airflow which may also be why the grout has not discolored at all for us. We also have noticed a few hairline cracks in the grout as the house has settled, but overall I am extremely happy with how it turned out and has held up. I hope this helps to inspire new ways of using traditional tile shapes and here’s hoping it continues to last! proceed at your own risk. ha x

    Never will there be a fancier temporary spacer than terrazzo- ha! It looks absolutely stunning.

  • I had been wondering how that thick grout line would hold up as most sanded grouts say max 1/2”! Thank you for sharing! It’s beautiful!!

  • Haley

    Love it. I want to see your vanity! Also, are your terrazzo floors matte or glossy finish? X

    • Ashlea

      I second this!! I actually came on here hoping we’d get a little morsel on the custom concrete vanity/sink. But perhaps she’s been giving it time just like this tile install before sharing.

  • Lisa

    Thank you for sharing! It turned out fabulous and I appreciate you wanting to make sure it held up well.

    Hi sarah,

    That tile is so beautiful! I want to do something similar in my shower but worried the thick grout will start to show cracks after awhile. Did you seal the grout in yours?

  • Lauren

    What mirror is that? I have been looking for a similar mirror? Is the mirror backlit?

  • Tracy

    Did you have to fill in the 1″ area of grout enough to cover the top and bottom of the tiles?

  • […] matte white on the walls and the Natural Zellige on the floor. Read all about how we executed the wall tile treatment here. I designed the custom concrete vanity with an integrated sink and had it fabricated […]

    I am curious if you could give any insight into how the application of the grout was done. How did you keep the one inch grout line looking smooth while also making sure to remove any grit haze from the tile? I would be afraid that as I wipe the grout off the tile face that I would mess up the finish of the thick grout line. I really want to try this but it makes me nervous!

  • Gina

    Did you use a schluter tile edge strip where the tile transi to REGULAR wall?

    • Sarah Sherman Samuel

      Hi Gina!
      No, Cle offered glazed trim tile so it looks like an edge so no need for a schluter.
