first look-master bathroom shower floor

the tile installers just finished laying the patterned tile on the shower floor in the master bedroom.
it is every bit as gorgeous as i imagined it would be!
 (i seriously didn't want to leave the house yesterday evening! i kept walking into the bathroom and fawning over this floor.)

the 3 x 6 tiles were purchased at home depot, and the black squares were cut from the larger tiles of  slate that is also in my sons bathroom upstairs and in the laundry room.
i love how the pattern references the herringbone that is laid on the rest of the floor, but the black accents really add some drama and fun!
this is not a pattern that i see very often, but it is really easy to pull of with only two sizes of tile and simple cuts. a lot of the patterns that i was considering had lots of angled and mitered cuts, and were really complex. i think the "design payoff" of this pattern is hard to beat! (simple + easy yet bold + sophisticated)



what do y'all think??
i absolutely love it!

  12. That's really nice, Looks brilliant. As it look, shows that you have made it perfectly according to your shower direction/where you had put it up. Tiles pattern really looks nice. Tiles and their colour scheme plays an important role in the look and in the decoration of an house/Room.
