Batroom Floor

We have a working toilet and sink again in the hall bath.
With a few days off for the thanksgiving weekend I had time to get the floor in
We decided on a 2"X2" mosaic ceramic tile for the floor.

Leif wanted to be in the picture to show that he was a part of the whole floor laying too.
Even though thinset and small children is a bad combination it worked out pretty good.


For the threshold we used a slate brick accent. We had some concerns about the white grout and the dark slate but it turned out pretty good
I did some experimenting with tape and tiled to try some different solutions for the sink back splash and this is the patter we decided that we will do.
I will set this when I do the tub surround.
We also replaced the old faucet for the sink so it will match the shower mixer we chose.

And here is the little helper again showing off our work
I have not finished cleaning out the small space between the tub and the tile so I can silicone this area.
There are still plenty of details to finish and clean up, we haven't decided on trim yet so we still have decisions to make!
The plan now is to Finnish the tiling next weekend but with all the little details that needs to be done it will probably be a coupple of more weeks before it is all done.
