Our Master Bath Project

Our home improvement project I have been hinting at for several weeks is finally finished. That project was to add some tile work to our Master Bath. More specifically, we added tile to our shower area and our sinks. 

It all started a few months ago when DH had to work on our shower head. As he was working, he said we need to look at doing something different because the wallpaper was getting a fair amount of water damage. We talked about various ideas and finally decided we would add tile. It wasn't a few days later we were looking at tile. We then went on to talk about tiling behind our sinks which we had discussed before. So the snowball had started rolling and there was no stopping it now. DH began work Labor Day Weekend and finished up the weekend after. 

This is how the project first started out. DH was just fixing a loose shower head.  Notice the shower head is coming out of the area with the wallpaper on it and the water damage.

The tile we picked out.

They weren't from the same collection, but they work well together.

Cutting out the wall board...

adding blocking...

to attach the backer board too.

Same thing was happening to the shower area.

Backer Board ready for the tile, but measuring and cutting had to happen first.

Time for the mortar to be laid...

so the tile can be laid.

Tile laid and the grout being added.

The tile around the sink grouted and ready to be wiped down.

Next step was to add a sealer...

then caulk.

 

The finished product.

I am in love with it!

This was DH's first time laying tile. I think he did a terrific job. He says he would rather lay flooring again, than lay tile. Hopefully, when I ask for tile to be added around the guest bath's sink in a few months, he will have forgotten about how much he hated it! 

Living a simple life and loving every minute of it!
