Garage work

This morning I tackled the garage at the condo. It had a lot of junk in it, mixed in with some things that might be worth holding on to. So I sorted it all out, bagged up the obvious junk and dirt, made a bin of possible keepers, and swept the floor. Some of it went into the trash dumpster at the condo unit. Some will go to the "dump" in Paul's truck this afternoon. Naturally, I forgot to take a "before"photo, but here is an "after"one:

The garage cleaned up a bit. Imagine a bunch of junk around the edges and lots of dirt on the floor
On the left you can see some ceramic floor tiles leaning against the wall in the foreground, 12 to 15 tiles in all, in various sizes. If you laid them out on the floor, they'd be maybe roughly about 5' x 5' in all.  These are samples that are of no use to Paul. Slated for the dump. Question is, could I use them to dress up my small downstairs bathroom at home, which right now just has an unpainted concrete floor that originally had carpet on it, but the carpet has been ripped up leaving a film of old adhesive. These tiles would look nice, even though they are of different colors. Two problems: (1) there isn't quite enough of them to do the whole floor,  and (2) some would need to be cut and I have no way to cut them. So it is probably an impractical idea. But I hate throwing stuff like that into a dump.
