Tape off any exposed wood trim and start to spread the grout across the tile surface. First i cut and dry fit the strata mat xt into my inlay areas. To finish off the inlay tile mix a batch of the grout according to the instructions. Pull the grout float across the tiles at a 45 degree angle to remove the excess grout.

If you take this project one step at a time and treat each tile as an individual inlay you should be able to achieve this look without much issue.
