Slate For Me...



Laying all the slate out and picking my favorite for the main focal points; the sink counter, floor and large shower wall. I know what you are thinking, "Why not just slap it up completely random?". We are combining two different orders of tile, (couple years apart too) so this was needed to see the contrast. What I have picked as my favorites will be placed random, but I wanted the most colorful in these main focal points. After putting so much energy into our remodel, I was not about to skip out on the most appealing part. Monday will find us laying tile, Yippee!!! To see more progress pictures click here and here. The bath looks completely different now, I haven't shared my texture and paint work yet...

Having done several major remodels, I agree completely with you on this. Do not skimp on the details! Your floor will be beautiful.

This reminds me of when we bought small bisque tiles at a yard sale. When we remodeled our bathroom shortly thereafter, I redid the vanity top using those tiles. The problem was the limited numbers in each color. This limitation forced me to be creative and I ended up with a complex NINE-color pattern on the vanity. I really wish I'd taken pictures!
