A tiling weekend!

This weekend Ryan’s Dad came out to help us tile the bathroom. This means that Mark tiled the bathroom while Ryan cut tile and I watched. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.  Friday night we started on the shower and when we woke up on Saturday, Mark was already back at it.

Saturday morning we came down to this.

After lunch it was back to the shower – and it was finished up very quickly. Then on to the wall tiles.

By dinner the walls were about halfway done so we went out for a bite to eat.

When the dark tile was complete Mark started in on the decorative pattern across the top. Here is the detail laid out.

Before bed Ryan cut some floor tile in half so the floor could be started in the morning without delay.

On Sunday when we got up Mark had been back at it again.  The wall details were complete and the floor was half done.

The floor by the door was not level enough so we got some self-leveler to even it out a bit.  We have to wait 24 hours before we can finish tiling – maybe this week we’ll finish up the tile.  We’d also like to grout around where the toilet will go in so we can install it this weekend.

  1. It looks stunning! It just went together unbelievably fast! I can’t wait to see it in person- You must be so thrilled with the change it has made. Suddenly it looks like you are so much closer to completion!
