Master Bath Tiling, Tiling and More Tiling...

  Master Bath...I love you
I love this 20" floor tile.
It looks like gray marble.
Plan A was to set it diagonally...
then I had my head examined and decided on...
Plan B...set them as squares...
we decided on the KISS method.
 
 
 
Who needs to go to the gym when you have the pleasure of setting these babies!
 
 
 
We hired a tile guy to handle the shower area.
It's been waterproofed...
 
 
 
 
a concrete floor...two layers...more waterproofing
 
 
our seating area...
 
 
I chose to tile the rest of our bath myself...
it's not perfect, but I think it looks really good...
 
 
 
 
 
I know...lots of pictures...lots of tile...
 
 
 
I'm using white grout in here...
it's very forgiving :)
 
 
Kitchen tile details next...
and countertops...
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now we just have to take care of the moat we have in the backyard...
 
 
 
 
 
It's all looking good though :)

We Are So Close to a Finished Kitchen...

 
Here's a photo synopsis of the last week and a half...
 
 
wall/ceiling texture...
orange peel to match the original part of the house...
 
 
painting cabinets...
 
 
and drawer fronts...
 
 
doors were hung...
 
 
so were cabinets...
 
 
crown molding through the whole kitchen...
 
 
 except for where my range hood will go.
 
 
floor leveling where the old kitchen met the new addition...
 
 
measuring for granite counter tops...
 
 
my schoolhouse lights...finally :)
 
 
island lighting...
and today's project...
 
 
tiling!
 
 
 
There's still a lot for us to do, however,  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel ...
and I'm actually enjoying this whole experience :)
