Hello All, First time poster here.
I started a project tiling my florida room/enclosed porch/sun room. I have all of the uncut 12" tile down with a modified thinset and it looks great.

I have a problem though. The room has 2 doors: a single sliding door to the driveway/patio and a double sliding door into the house. While tiling to the door going outside won't be any problem, the threshold going into the house sits about 1/2" lower than the concrete slab of the room. On the other side of that door is laminate floor tile. I have attached a picture of the problem area. The strip is about 12 feet long and 3 inches wide.

So my question is what do I do here? I had thought about just laying strips of tile in the threshold and using some kind of transition piece to the higher main surface; using 2x2 mosaic tile as the transition; using a thicker transition tile in the low section, or somehow raising the low section to be flush. I think it would look best using all of the same tile at the same height, i'm just not sure how to do it.
