In progress...

During Lizzie's visit, primarily when the kids, Lizzie, and I spent a day at the science museum, Marty demo'ed the bathroom. He ripped out all the carpet, took out the trim, ripped down the walls with tile on them, sealed the subfloor where it needed it, etc. He replaced the missing drywall and put down backerboard where it needed to go. All of that took a week or two, as he did it in his off work hours. And THEN, we started tiling. We did the shower first.

I had chosen the accent tile before anything else. We had a few other options that were nice, but the floor tile sealed our choice when we found it. The tub/shower tile was chosen simply b/c it complemented the others well enough.



We found the floor tile at a tile store nearby and it was clearanced out, and we REALLY loved it, so it was the obvious choice. The slate mosaic tile accented so well, we were happy how it came together. Look! No more funky carpet in the toitie room!!!


Do you think we overdid the accents? I think it really pulled it all together across the entire bathroom. We purchased a new faucet for our tub. A bit more updated :)
