J & D Bathroom 2010

Adding interest to a simple shower surround: large vertical subway tile, custom shampoo cubbies, and accent tile.
In order to create a gentle slope towards the drain, the tile chosen for a shower pan is often made of 1x1 inch, 2x2 inch, hexagonal tile, or pebble stones.
Grab bars placed on an angle allow people of all ages and heights to reach them easily.

J R Bathroom 2009

A drop-in tub was used in an alcove. Special attention was paid to the installation of a tile flange where the tub meets the three walls. This application allowed us to create a tiled skirt on the front of the tub.
The same accent tile used for the tub or shower surround is often used as a vanity backsplash, to tie the room together.
The closet and entry doors were sanded and stained to match the finish of the vanity and mirror.

K & K Bathroom 2010

This beautiful Old Portland home called for a bathroom remodel in the original style. White subway tiles stand out thanks to the darker grout lines.
A touch of modern in a period bathroom: hexagon tile floor, subway tile surround, wainscoting, tall baseboard, and hard wired towel warmer.
Many hours went into the planning, design and execution of this hexagon tile floor. The outcome was very rewarding for both the client and the tiler.

R E Bathroom 2007

The simple toilet was placed at the end of the room, behind the vanity.
Beautiful glass tile countertop and backsplash. Tiled counters require a sink with an edge, as opposed to an undermount sink.
Shampoo cubbies can add interest to the surround, while eliminating the need to place bottles and lotions on the tub edge.
