Tile

Tile on the wall in the shower/tub stall

They have started tiling and you can get a great idea of what the whole room will look like.  We got a marble tile from Home Depot called "Grecian White"-- it has lots of greys in it as well-- and we opted for the 3" x 6" subway tiles all over the walls; 12" x 12" tiles on the floor; and capped off with a 12" long, rounded piece of pencil tile. 

Corner of tub

Linen Closet without the ceiling.
 The linen closet is also framed out and walled in, minus the ceiling.  It will be 7 feet tall, 26 inches wide, and 30 inches deep. It will be a very nice indeed!  We are trying to figure what shelving system we want in there (Ikea or Elfa) to maximize the storage space.

 Currently there is no grout on the walls, just the tile glue for the walls.  Is it glue?  Whatever that stuff is that makes the tiles stick to the walls.  Eventually, they will grout everything with a white grout and I am hoping that it will be look more like one piece of marble versus a million little tiles.

7 Feet of Tile

Tile in process

Pencil trim, beveled on the side, waiting to be joined up with another piece.

Done! The pencil trim marks the edging the tub/shower stall as well.

 We also now have the bathroom wired up-- we are just missing light fixtures and witch plates!   We will have one light switch for the overhead, one for the vanity light, and a third of the fan.
Wires in place
 They also have put up the wall board for the sink/toilet wall.  Where the green board ends is basically where the tile will end.


 Just close up of the tile around the window.

OMG I love it. LOVE. IT. And it won't look like one big piece of tile but that's fine.
