the bathroom: update vi - tiling is DONE!

that's right!  the tiling is all done.  the shower isn't ready for use yet but it's only a matter of time... specifically this weekend (we hope)!

there you have it friends!  don't mind the orange home depot bucket (which i thought you were to use as shopping baskets the first time i went to one.  no joke.), like i said, we aren't finished yet.  but words can't even begin to describe how much i LOVE the look of the shower.  philip went to the depot to get some last minute tile on saturday and one of the staffers asked if he was doing a backsplash.  "no," he said, "i'm doing a shower."  "a border?" she asked.  "no, the whole thing," was the response she got.  she was shocked.  but whether or not people thought we were crazy it has turned out better than i imagined.  the bronze fixtures compliment the brown glass perfectly and the ceiling looks incredible.  a close up of the ceiling here:

the light fixture isn't my favorite but as far as shower lights go it's pretty standard.  i can live with it until i come across the right fit.  we also still need a shower curtain and we need to do the grout.  the grout will be done this week and i am on the prowl for the perfect curtain now.  i really want to find the perfect one online rather than settling for one from target that won't really go with the mood we're trying to create.  next up for the bathroom will be floor tile, a new vanity/sink/mirror set (or separates, which i'm leaning towards) and paint.  of course a few decor extras too...

first of all, i want to find the perfect mirror.  these are a few i have in mind, but ideally i'd like the one from this post.

mirror from alexander & pearl

mirrors from pottery barn

with one of these lovely mirrors and a few glass shelves holding votives i'll have it exactly the way i want it.  and i wouldn't have it any other way. :)

til the next bathroom update...
