Since there were no pictures available, here's what I did and I hope you don't mind. Just wanted to show you how the decorative border and the bullnose would look. Please ignore the size of the listello on the outside wall and the one on the tub side wall because they are not the same ones. Basically showing how I picture it to be - is this right and does it look right? I'm really sorry but I'm getting so stressed over this all over again. We hired a new contractor to replace the one who ran away with my money and this new guy says this set up will not look good. Either I'm making another mistake by hiring someone without experience or he just does not want to do the work. I'm doomed!!! Really need your help, PLEASE!! THANK YOU!

Budge, THANK YOU. I think the window looks great with the tile and I'm going to have my contractor do the same thing. Did you use 6" bullnose on the inside of the window? I only ordered 3" but I think the 6" looks great. I wonder if I could use non-bullnosed tile on the inside of the window (run the same direction as yours) and put 3" bullnose on the outside, so that the grout line would be inside the window rather than outside...hm. I'd still need 6" bullnose for the top and bottom, but not as much. As for the bump in the wall, I went home and measured tonight and the brick does extend a good 4-5". SO, I'm stuck with the double bump. I think I am just going to tile over (to the ceiling!!!), inside and around the window and then start painting when I hit the bump. Thank you everyone for all of your help and great ideas - you all are the BEST!!!!

First,I tried krud cutter, soft scrub ,oops, magic eraser. The tile guy (through my contractor) said to try goof off or nail polish remover. I think davidro mentioned the tsp and muriatic acid, but when I went to the hardware store and showed the paint dept guy all the suggestions, he said that if what I used already didn't work, these others wouldn't either, and said to try the varnish remover. He said epoxy was very hard to get out and it might require a machine. DH let the varnish remover sit for 10 minutes as recommended on the can to remove epoxy and rubbed it with a wire brush, but not a blade. Davidro, I can't feel it with eyes closed. And my floor is grooved and uneven to imitate a natural stone. What it looks like is that I have a dirty floor with splash marks, plus the wheel marks.
