Good news and.... well, still good news, but a fun lesson learned we'll say :) The shower has been tiled and grouted! Now we're just letting it cure, then we'll seal it and get the fixtures (which match the tub fixtures) up.
When we picked our tile, we loved the look of this particular creamy grey and white carrara marble tile and ordered enough to tile the shower. This was almost a year ago.
Over the past several months, we've pulled several tiles from the boxes to coordinate grout colors, paint colors, fixtures, etc.
What we DIDN'T do was unpack all the boxes of tile and go through the pieces. Cut to the two-day process of tiling the shower while one of us (Shannon) was in Atlanta overseeing the tile crew, and the other of us (Mary) was in Toronto for a baby shower. And we realized we were getting a very 'Vegas' shower in a very 'beach cottage' house :)
Lesson learned, and while we both agree it's absolutely gorgeous - we also agree it might be just a little much for our taste. (For the record, we knew there would be some variation in the marbling, but we fell in love with the lighter more subtle tiles, like the top left one - just to give you an idea of what we were expecting :) Once the fixtures are in, and the glass doors are up, I'm sure we'll grow quite accustomed to showering like Greek gods... this could be bad for our egos. Stay tuned!
