I would not have used that tile in the shower or th floor now you need something very simple and IMO large format porcealin in a color from the marble.. Next time do the large format for the floors and shower walls and if you must use that marble for a small accent vertical srtip at most.. All those grout lines just do not belong in a shower or on floors IMO

Not really what you asked, but what's behind the Redguard?

Patricia Colwell Consulting We wanted to do something different and fun since this bathroom was so small. We love the herringbone tile. So you think maybe large format 12 x 24 white matte or glossy tile would work?

Do you have in progress photos that show what waterproofing was used for the whole shower?

chispa yes, why do you ask?

OMG - I love that herringbone. It is really beautiful. And it appears to have been well done by your tiler.

It looks like marble to me, is that correct? If so, why not see if you can get the same marble in a larger format. No worries then about coordinating colours. You could use a large subway format - maybe 4 X 12, or even 6 X 12, or even larger, up to 12 X 24. But if it is just for the two end walls in the shower I think the 12 X 24 is too large. But if you are intending to tile the whole wall, both inside the shower area and outside of it, then look at 12 X 24 size.

My preference would be to try to match the lighter colours in the herringbone as opposed to the darker colours but with natural stone there can be a lot of variation.

Please post more pictures so we can see the finished room. Looks good so far.

M V thanks! We love the herringbone! So we actually purchased white glass subway tile 3 x 12 and they started to put it up, but the colors clashed too much so we had them take it down. Now we are stuck trying to figure out what else to put here. Do you think just plain white porcelain tile would look good?

I think chispa and millworkman are concerned because it sort of looks like someone just painted redguard over drywall.

S Melt No definitely not drywall. We used cement board. The bathroom was also already painted so the walls all look the same (except for the red guard)

Also, i worry most about the white strip of wall near the shower floor, that's not covered in redgard or apparently anything other than painted drywall.

M V thanks for your comments. We are aware that glass tile needs white grout but even after doing that, they give off a blueish hue.

Everyone else who has commented on the red guard should not worry about what was done. The walls and floor were all waterproofed correctly. The red guard that is seen is actually covering more than where the tile will be going and the tile ends much sooner than what you can see. The shower enclosure will sit well inside that red. The walls are already finished and painted and will need touching up, which is why it looks as though there is drywall there.

Are the shower walls painted and then you put Redguard on top of the painted wall?

As for tile, use a simple white subway tile.

cpartist no the redguard was painted onto the cement board after we sealed all the seams.
