The Good


Master Bathroom Trim and Tile
Originally uploaded by JordanaA.
We've got the trim work done in the master bathroom and in the photo you can see just a peek of the tile in the shower stall. We used semi-gloss white Daltile subway tiles with platinum grout for the walls with a peony mural from Artfind Tile in my hometown of Wooster, Ohio.

The mural was a second, because the glaze hadn't filled in a spot on one tile completely during firing and when my mom shipped it down to me the tile cracked in half along the glaze fault. We epoxied it back together and put it up any way. The price was right and the crack adds character, or so I tell myself.

We used a black rope tile accent from Home Depot. For the floor of the shower we used unglazed white, square mosaics and for the floor of the bathroom we used an octagon and dot with black dots from Daltile.

The wainscoting is plywood beadboard with a chair rail over it and a 1x4 with a routed edge for the shelf.

So this is all good. When I can get the woodwork painted, we could get the fixtures installed and have a working bathroom. Of course, there is a little problem, which I shall show you later.
