All the bathroom tile is complete!
The floor was done shortly after my last update and I love the black hex tile with the dark gray grout. I took these really quickly with my iPad before the babies woke up so the lighting is bad and it's making it look like the grout is half done, but once we get more done in here I'll take better photos for sure.
The shower tile took the longest, and I'm really proud of the detail Mike put into this. Both of our pet peeves in tile work is small slivers left on the edges where the spacing wasn't laid out in a thoughtful way. Mike measured everything a dozen times and used a laser level to keep his lines straight. He made sure he left at least half of a tile at the top so that it mimicked the half tile at the base of the step.
We both were a little disappointed with the grout lines, and I had hoped they would be smaller. The tiles were self-spacing, but Mike had thought he was making the thinnest lines he could by spacing only 3/32". I know that eventually the thicker lines won't seem so noticeable once we install everything else in the room, but it's something we're keeping in mind for tile projects in the future.
The marble topped ledge and shower step are two of my favorite details and I'm so happy we went with the ledge instead of a niche. I think it's works well with the tile design and achieves my goal of a step to shave my legs, as well as a ledge for shampoo and stuff.
We got a couple quotes for the glass shower door and just gave the official approval last week, so hopefully we have that show in a few weeks!
We're waiting to figure out a solution to a problem we have with the pocket door right now, but once we finish that we can wrap up the trim in here and start installing the vanity and toilet. I'm not making any deadlines for us, but we're very much looking forward to moving into our new room and it's motivation for us to keep moving ahead!
