    Of course you can. I would split the sheets though and make sure when you line them up on the reveals its pleasing to the eye.

    Just take your time and make sure the walls are flat before starting. If not sort it before you fix.

    I would check windows and doors are square before starting. Whilst setting, make sure spaces are even between tiles as the net backing can slack. If the mosiac is glass with no white backing you will need to back skim them using white adhesive before applying.

    Tip-Be careful when wet cutting these pesky things.

    mr tile art, I see you went for the white trim in the end
    Windows out of square? Agreed, glass would have looked so much better.

    Nice job!!
