The guest bath is almost done and I’ve had so many requests for pictures that I thought I’d put a few up. The walls still need grout, which I’ll be doing tonight, but otherwise the shower surround is finished. I chose a decorative glass mosaic tile from Modwalls.com. The color blend is called Marakesh and it’s a mix of browns and olive glass tiles with a gold sheen. It’s really hard to capture in picutres but I absolutely love it.

I'm so happy with how it turned out
When I did the bullnosing along the outer edges it just didn’t look right at the end of the decorative row so I came up with my own solution. I guess I could have just caulked the decorative edge but I don’t think I would have liked the look of that. This works for me.

This was my solution for creating a finished edge for the decorative tile strip.
I am now an expert at cutting tile. Check out the hole I made for the pipe. Beautiful, I know, you don’t have to tell me
. You can also see the grout color here. I grouted so the plumber could come out and get everything in place but the timing didn’t work out. Hopefully he’ll be out soon.

My awesome tile cutting
I really dislike the traditional soap dishes that go in the middle of the wall. The soap always gets soaked and then just melts away. I decided to go with two corner trays.

Soap and Shampoo dishes
I’m really, REALLY happy with the finished look. Tonight I’ll grout and after it’s cured I’ll caulk and then we’re good to go. Once my guests are gone I’ll pull out the toilet and the sink and tile the floor. The walls are going to be an olive green color. I’m considering tiling the vanity countertop with the glass tile. Opinions are welcome!
