BATHROOM PROGRESS #5: FIRST LOOK AT THE TILES

Bath - Shower corner























Bath Length Wall




















These aren't very good photographs because they were taken at night, but I couldn't resist posting a sneak peek of Jan, the tiler's work.  It really is an act of dedication as all the tile edges perfectly line up and he's made the uneven walls appear continously flat.  The grout lines, which are exceptionally slim, will be in the same colour as the tiles which will give the walls a seamless look.  It was definately worth waiting the six weeks to secure his services.

I'm really loving the tiles and am finding hard to stop myself from wandering back and forth into the bathroom to marvel at them.  The glossy sheen on them bounces the light around and makes the miniscule room look bright and airy.  The tiles have very subtle veins as well as lighter whitish streaks which are almost impossible to pick up with the camera, but provide some interest.  It's hard to tell at this stage if the bathroom will appear larger as the basin, the luxuriously large stainless steel cabinet, towel radiator, and chrome fixtures haven't gone in yet.  It's quite a lot to cram into such a small space, but I'm hoping that it will all work.  For the moment at this early stage, I'm more than happy at the results.
