This is the bathroom bit of the 'the reno I didn't want to start'.
I've never done much tiling, but I don't mind it - it's a bit meditative.
This is a bathroom/laundry out in the backyard, so I wanted it to be a pretty utilitarian space i.e. a hose-out room.
The shower area steps down an inch and I'll just be using a shower curtain. I used stainless angle for the step down.
Floor tiles are 50 x 50 limestone in a sheet. How good is that job around the floor drain? I'm pretty pleased with that.
The wall tiles are gloss Subway tiles. Cheap ($24 per sqm) and easy to cut and lay.
I had a bit of a dilemma with the tile arrangement on the wall where it steps down into the shower. Ideally, I would have had a tile join there, but it would have made for an awkward sliver of tile at the right hand wall junction and that wall isn't 100% straight. I'll tidy up the bottom on one of the tiles and when it's all grouted it will look fine.
I'll probably get a tiler to do some of the walls because I'm a bit slow, but I wanted to do the first wall with all the plumbing so I could give him a standard to work to.
