For an update on how we finally arrived at a decision on tile, grout, colors, etc... click HERE to read about our conclusion to work with an interior designer.
Before...
- Wall Color: Some funky shade of blue
- Tile: The shower and floor were marble. It was originally laid crooked, and thus when we bought the home we had to redo everything.
- When we purchased our home, the shower was unfinished and could not be used, and there were not any sinks.
My husband picked out the sinks and faucets.
The doors, moldings, and baseboards were not even primed.
This part of the bathroom was just primed sheet rock.
No shower heads.
During the renovation.....
As you can see, all the marble had to be torn out. The entire shower was gutted down to the studs and then built back up in order to install backer board etc to prevent leaks... (which was not placed behind the marble originally). We also had two partial walls built up to give some privacy to the shower.

The day they started laying tile.
We painted the room before all the flooring was put down. This is the day they began working on the boarder that goes around the bathroom.
After.....
- Wall Color: Woodlawn Colonial Gray
- Trim Color: Du Jour
- Tile: 3x6 subway tile in shower, 6x6 on floor, 3x6 border around floor
- We had to paint all the doors, moldings, and baseboards.

My husband picked out the sinks and faucets when we first moved in. I wasn't so sure about them, but this was the easiest thing to do, otherwise we would have had to cut the granite. Now that everything is finished, I think they look good.

My side...
There are still things I want to hang on the wall, and decorative accents I need to put up, and I want to change out the vanity mirrors.. I've come to the conclusion that you're never completely finished decorating a room.
