Hot and Tiled

It’s been a while since I posted anything.  Things have been happening so fast, I barely have time to keep up.  The last two weeks we got all of the tile work done.  I was very busy running to various tile stores to get a little more of this tile or another soap dish for that shower.  Now we are all tiled.

Here is darling daughter’s bathroom.  I think it turned out really well.  The view from her bedroom is great.

And then once you get into the room, it really opens up.

It looks a lot different than it did earlier last week when Builder Gary was using it as an office.

Her brother’s bathroom got the same tile, as you can just barely see from his bedroom.

I like all the angles and jogs in his bathroom.

Her other brother’s bathroom abandoned the black and white theme.  We had this vanity with a travertine top and a travertine floor to work from.

So, we went with a classic bone and taupe shower combo.

We really kept the tile saw humming all week!

The mudroom and family entrance got a herringbone pattern.  I guess with a 12 x 24 tile, it’s really a HERRRINGBONE pattern.

Hopefully the brown tones will just flow right into the hardwoods.

We thought about doing the herringbone in the master bath also.

It just wasn’t working for me.  There were too many conflicting lines with the bead board.

We tried a diagonal, also, but, again, the lines just got too busy.

So, we just laid a running bond or brick pattern the length of the room.

I thought it looked great without grout.

And even better with it.

Here’s a peek back into the shower.

And a better view of the shower.

Our tile man, Gaudencia, had me run get some marble chair rail for the edge of the bench. I think it is a nice touch.

Now do you see why I am hot and tiled?

  4. It's so pretty! And I love your thinking. We don't live in magazines. But your shower is beautiful nonetheless.
