Tile work is being done...progress!

This is my pride and joy.  I saw a mosaic similar to this in a magazine. I redesigned it to more my taste and sent the drawing to a company in Miami. They sent me actual tile samples to select the tiles I wanted to use. Their designer duplicated what I was envisioning and then after approval, they gave the ok to create it.  It is all handmade in Lebanon.  Came rolled up in a big heavy tube.  The mosaic took about 6 weeks and is 4' x 3' and is now hanging on the back of my master shower wall.  I loved the idea so much that I had a similar one made on a smaller scale in the guest bath.

Now you can see more of the shower.  I used Crema Marfil marble field tiles on the wall and smaller 1" x 1" marble tiles for the shower floor

These are my bath faucets.  I love the touch of crystals...it's like a little bit of bling in the bath!

Tile work happening in the kitchen.  Here I used travertine tile with a glazed handmade border tile

Closer look, before grout

The kitchen sink with my new faucets.  We have an instant hot water to the left, the sprayer and soap dispenser to the right.  There's also a small button on the countertop next to the soap dispenser.  Can you see it?  That's the disposal button! Very convenient! Also, the granite is in. I love it...very soft, soothing color.

This is our wet bar.  The upper cabinets are about 2 feet wide and have glass fronts with glass shelves and puck lights to shine on the crystal bar ware.  In the center, the wall will be painted and I plan to hang a painting here.  My goal was for the bar not to look so much like a bar!  We used a dark granite here in a leatherette finish.  Meaning the granite has a slight texture "honed"  feel to it.  We will be installing a wine cooler to the left and ice maker to the right.

The fireplace mantle is finally installed!  The crown moulding and trim is all done. We raised the ceilings to 10'.  Makes such a difference. I don't know if you saw the before photos, but the old ceilings were 8' popcorn ceilings.

More tile work and also, everything is painted.  I'll be posting better photos featuring paint colors soon.
