time for tile

so we're finally moving on the master bathroom tile work. it took a long time and a couple of decision changes (by me) to get the tile ordered. robby rocked and rolled through the backer board friday night and yesterday got the floor done except for a couple of tricky cut pieces around the flange for the toilet. it looks awesome... for a first time tile layer i think he did a fabulous job. and he was lucky that i was out of the house all day on photo shoots so i wasn't there to pester him. 

here are photos to get you up to speed. i have a super wide angle lens right now for some photo sessions i'm doing, so i'm taking advantage of it in the house...

backer board as of yesterday morning.

  

i missed the entire day of tiling... here is the tile man himself laying of the last few pieces...

i showed up just in time... ha ha.

the bathroom in the morning light...

  

detail of the floor tile... if you know me and how much i love gray, you know why i picked this tile.

laying out the wall tile on the floor... trying to decide on either a running bond (right - traditional "subway") or a stack bond...

  

detail of each... 

  

a couple of shots of the morning light in the house... and yes, our house is a disaster still. one day there will be no construction dust and boxes. 

  

robby is working on the wall tile as i type... so you'll get to see soon which pattern we picked. exciting stuff!
