How do I grout the stone tiles?

Grouting is a matter of personal preference. Grouting the entire image (especially with unfilled travertine) will fill the natural holes in the stone, causing the image to become randomly spotted with grout. A grout bag may be used to grout only the joint lines of the mural, thereby avoiding the spots of grout. A third option is to not grout between the lines at all – simply position them right next to each other. Talk with your installer to decide which method will work best for your installation space.
