Wow! I have finally started tiling our master bath and it feels amazing to have conquered the looming fear that has kept me procrastinating for weeks.
…that looming ‘ugh’ sensation during the planning/prep – recognizing that once that thin-set is mixed, there is no turning back from hours of careful and heavy work…the first tile needs to be set right…the slope accounted for…the unforgiving nature of the tile…the ‘time-crunch’ of thin-set…
Somehow, despite all this procrastination and pain, I do actually love the process…and the beautiful inspiring results (made easy with the bonus of Sam’s expert thin-set mixing and encouragement).
got to talk through the planning:) not at all messy
I absolutely love the mix of Carrara and Rosa marble; the taupe and white combination is amazingly fabulous…I was hesitant to mix these until seeing the array of mixed-marble flooring at the Vatican…and I love the effect.
This is the view from the entrance area.
These little heart-shape tiles are ‘sea tiles’ (like sea glass…but tile) from the treasure (below) that Doug collected in our little cove on the Amalphi Coast…seems to me like the perfect entrance to a master suite 🙂 .
…now for edging…grouting…more tiling…
I’ll keep you posted!
have a beautiful week (you know what I’ll being doing!)
