finished! Green vanity, marble basketweave, hex niche
Comments (40)Wow love everything about this bathroom! Into my inspiration file it goes. Love your mix of classic tiles and the close up of your niche is very helpful as is seeing your tile "baseboard". A few more Q's if you don't mind... Like your square towel bar and accessories. Can you please give me the source and style info for those? Your sink and shower bath fixtures are the same suite? Design advice pleae... I'd love something similiar in one of our bathrooms that has a seperate tub and shower. If you had a seperate shower would you have carried the basketweave floor into the shower floor and if not what would you have used? What do you use to clean the basketweave floor? Love green and I love you cabs. What type of paint was used and did you paint them yourselves? I've been thinking I would add a little color accent with a narrow band of tile, but now I'm thinking painted vanity! Thanks for sharing....See MoreMother of pearl tile backsplash
Comments (55)I am shopping for short finger tile to use as an accent strip in my small bathroom..it will run around the walls at chair rail height and around the tub, back the niche then back out..the tiles are glass, marble and MOP on some kind of ceramic base. I was told by different sales people there was no need to seal...but others say the marble should be sealed...I am concerned that using it in the tub/shower..and using a squeegie on the wall where it will run over the MOP numerous times will loosen the shell from the base tile...also hard water spots might be a problem and I am concerned to use any acid based cleaner on it...should I look for a tile without marble or shells in it? I don't want to have to maintain the accent tile...See More1" marble hex tile/small tile backsplash?
Comments (14)scrappy25 here with the minitiles that rebunky posted. No problems with the bright white regular grout so far, one year out. It was sealed along with the tiles at installation. I do keep a folding splatter guard behind my cooktop- it's about 8 inches high and catches most of the splatters. However I have not noticed a difference between the protected areas and the area above the guard. HTH...See MoreHELP?! Will large backsplash be too "seamed" installed?
Comments (59)@Michele Bennett I was/am unaware of any edging tile to match this, so I didn't have any. The edge pieces were showing around an archway to the shower and they were pale blue. I didn't like that, especially after being told they would use a Schluter edge. I chose a paint to match the grout and had the edge painted. It's ok but not elegant. I would find a solution to this before committing to this tile. The tile setter used Schluter around the shower niche and It looks nice. Pictures to follow......See MoreJanis Nixon-Phillips
