Another tiling adventure!

Here's the next installment of our "tiling adventure!"  Over the winter we had our upstairs full bath "redone!"  Of course most of our friends and family tell us that the bath was perfectly fine.

...but, after working on the other bathrooms I decided to swank-it-up on this one too. 

I always thought that this particular bath was boring because it originally had standard fixtures and kacki walls. 

The bath is a bit large and is structured with two rooms--an entry room with a double sink which leads to the actual bath with tub, shower, linen closet, etc.

First, I had the white marble removed and replaced with a milk chocolate granite counter.  The counter alone gave the room an entirely different look. 

Walls were done with a glazing technique and "ragging."  This involves three steps and three types of paint (see below). 

After the counter was replaced, I replaced the fixtures with oiled bronze similar to what I did in the downstairs guest bath.  Next...the tile!

 I used three different types of tumbled, natural stone and began with a border around the tub backsplash.  Here you can see the wall technique.

I added a 3/4" glass sliding door framed in oiled bronze to match the fixtures.

I bordered the sink area with three sizes of tumbled, natural stone.

Oiled bronze fixtures, hardware, and selected pottery.

 I know it sounds crazy, but since this room adjoins our upstairs family room, I hung sports memorabilia of commemorative sporting events that I had professionally framed...quirky, but ...and there you have it -- how do you like our boring bathroom now?

...looking for another tiling project!
