Master Bath - Part 7

Nate has been making good progress with the shower tile this week.

We'd originally planned to use a basket-weave pattern much like in the kids' bath, but it's out of stock for the foreseeable future.  Nate found this pinwheel pattern as an alternative and it works really well.  The basket weave was a bit bigger scale than the kids' bath and this tile is a bit smaller scale.  It will actually work out better because, like a siped tire, there are more edges and it will be less slippery when it gets wet.

After the floor, he started on the walls.  It is a creamy-colored, large-scale subway tile.  The shower is fairly large and this is a decent sized room, so it can handle the larger scale.

The niche back is covered in a small-scale running bond mosaic.  You'll see more of that in a moment.

The benches are made from the same material as the backer board and are going to get covered with the tile that's going on the floor in the rest of the room.

Today, he finished all the subway inside the shower.  The "panel" surrounding the shower heads and valves is the same mosaic as in the niche.  It has a matching "pencil" that separates it from the subway tile.

Tomorrow subway tile will get installed on the exterior and top of the shower wall.

It's looking fabulous so far!
