For this project we replaced a mauve-colored fiberglass insert, which I am sure was great when this home was first built.  The homeowners, however, were more than happy to have it removed and a custom shower constructed in it’s place.  Not only does the new space have a larger footprint yielding four more square feet, but the sides of the old insert are no longer protruding outward into the space.  A beautiful shower door from Indiana Glass Center finishes off this major upgrade.  Tile: 12×12 Montari Light Grey, Grout: Warm Gray, 1×1 accent band and floor of mixed products, marble and travertine.

This homeowner designed bathroom features a great B&W windmill patterned floor, subway tile with a discreet black pencil and an aloe-ish wall color.  The combination looks great.

This project utilized two of my favorite tile formats: 3″ x 6″ subway tiles in brick pattern and 1″ unglazed hex mosaic porcelain for the floor (Laticrete Epoxy Sterling Silver grout).  The combination of these two styles forms a classic and elegant look as well as a clean and refined surface.  In addition, the homeowner installed painted wainscoting to the lower five feet of the walls, complementing both tile formats.  The top of the wainscot molding is a perfect match to the top ledge of the recessed medicine cabinet.  Simple design elements, such as tile formats and matching moldings, are great ways to create wholeness in a space.

Basement Bath: 12″x12″ ceramic floor and wall tile, Sanded grout (Bone)  Countertop: 4″x4″ tumbled tile, 6″ travertine chair rail, Non-sanded grout (Bone)

This project is a four-phase remodel of a basement bath/game/entertainment area, an upstairs bath, a master bath and a kitchen/entryway.  The customer is doing a majority of the work themselves, but wanted someone else to complete the tile.

12×12″ ceramic tile on walls and bench, 2×2″ mosaic ceramic tile on curb and floor, sanded grout (Mocha),  Schluter used to define bench and (2) niches.

This customer’s master bath remodel exemplifies how “box-store” material can be used to create a really elegant look.  The diagonal pattern as well as the large bench seat (5′) and symmetrical niches are custom touches that stand-out as well as create functionality.
