This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage.

Thank you again to all the people who commented on this post! I wanted to share the "after" picture. I chose Mindful Gray by SW. I tried so many colors, and many grays, and this seemed to work the best. I moved the light fixture higher on the wall and bought a new, larger medicine cabinet from Pottery Barn (I had a gift card and put it to good use). I also installed 2 high hat ceiling lights. I'm very happy with the outcome....overall its not perfect but definitely better than where I started without spending more than a few hundred dollars.

Thank you everyone for some great ideas. There is no natural light, but it really isn't as yellow as it looks in the photos. Probably a really good idea to prime first and then look again at my swatches. The gray idea came from another post about a bathroom with almond fixtures. In that discussion it was mentioned that white or cream makes the almond/beige fixtures and tiles look dirty. They had finally decided on a gray color (SW Mindful Gray) that had some warm tones in it. From the photos, it looked good, but I know it is difficult to tell in a photo. I think if I go that direction, I might need to rethink the shower curtain.

hi again ick1980. I meant to ask you if you have any of the tile from the bath tub wall left over. One of the things about the glass block wall in your shower is that there is a tiny ceramic soap holder just sitting beneath it. It looks off balance and is a bit old fashioned. I have removed three of these and it wasnt difficult . You can then do a small drywall patch and tile over that. If you really need a soap dish and product holder there are some more modern ones that could be installed underneath, removing the necessity for the wire basket hanging over the towel rack. Moen makes one with an integrated shelf that is also a safety grab bar. Not expensive Model LR2356DBN is an example Your glass block wall, at least in the photo, appears to be off centre to your shower/tub wall. If this is the case, you might consider doing a fool the eye trick and adding something vertical on the larger side to make it look more balanced. and I too would remove the extra cabinet. It makes the room look smaller . For what its worth...... love to see pics when its all done, whatever route you take
