Compare these bath photos, BABY!!

I really wanted both brick and diagonal pattern. After a lot of thought, I came up with a way to get both! Brick at top and bottom, diagonal in between. Cutting tile takes FOREVER and is more difficult to get accurate than one might think. So, thankfully, the wonderful color grout actually improves this overall look and makes the grout lines appear more uniformed. I did have to use two different kinds of grout on the walls since the gaps were of such varying sizes. :-)
Finding a medicine cabinet that fit was a small challenge. See that light fixture? I installed that myself in a tooo-small space with only one available stud to use. I even did the wiring (so hopefully there aren't any fires). See that gorgeous wall? Just last night it occurred to me that a towel bar should be on that wall of the shower. Forgot! See the white space next to that beautiful tile? Look closely, I BUILT shelves INTO the wall! I just need to cut the shelves to size and put 'em in there. How cool is that? (We really don't have a lot of storage space.
This slate tile was my first house purchase and now it's finally home (ahhhh). Earth-colored grout completes the picture. The paint usually looks like a darker shade of gray. Not all the tiles are alined but you really don't notice when looking at teh floor.

It's not done. The toilet and sink need to be added. The grout must be sealed and caulking will be added. Crown moulding and baseboards, selves and the rest of the door frame, the heating vent cover and the light covers. But this should give you a pretty good idea. I think it's dang pretty.
