Bathroom tiles and paint.
We are making such good progress in the bathroom. It’s very exciting! Sure, the tub and sink are still out being reglazed (after 4 weeks…), but I can look past that and focus on the fact that the room is officially NO LONGER SCARY. I can actually imagine myself taking a bath in there (in a bathtub, of course).
Marble hexagon tiles.
All of our windows are original to the house. This is the first one I’ve repaired and painted.
Ceiling medallion and glass pendant.

Putting the new sash lock on the window felt like a real accomplishment. This is something people do when they’re close to being finished, right?

Wow, wow, wow! This looks incredible and yes I remember when it was scary. Great job, it’s almost done!
Your bathroom looks lovely! I love love love the marble hex tiles.
That is one beautiful bathroom you have there! It’s so crisp, clean and inviting all at the same time. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
it’s fantastic!
This looks beautiful! It’s hard to believe that this is the same room!
I can’t believe how beautiful it looks! I am so impressed. I totally want the same clean and crisp feeling for my bathroom!
I thought you were posting an inspiration bathroom at first. That is so amazing and beautiful! I love how the tiles and the textures break of the white and makes it much more clean, rather than just sterile.
that looks great! the tile is a beautiful choice.
It’s looking awesome! I love the tile. :)
Stunning - you have a lot to be proud of it.
er - I meant “proud of”
It’s beautiful! So serene, clean, and crisp! I can’t wait to see what else you do to it :)
Wow - as usual you have a gift for making your vision come to life. Thank you for the inspiration!
those tiles are beautiful
Phenomenal!!! I still love those tiles. Did you end up painting the tub red?
O. M. G. Those tiles are FREAKING AMAZING! My mom is a marble addict and is going to do marble probably all over her house, wonder if I could turn her on to this look…
But what about grout cleaning? Will it be hard to maintain?
Forgot to say, I love that sash lock! I mean, who knew a window lock could be sexy?!
the hexagon tiles are amazing! the bathroom looks so much bigger. i cant wait to see the finished product!
This room is already so lovely, it will be so tranquil to bathe in here. ; )
Wow, it looks great!!! Can´t wait to see the bathtub :-)
Wonderful blog !
I really like your new bathroom so far! Can’t wait to see how it looks when the bathtub arrives. I like your bathroom even more after seeing the ‘before’ photo’s. Good job!
Beautifully crisp, clean and white and the floor tiles are a triumph!
A fantastic addition to your already gorgeous and inspiring home, your love for it shines through.
Also loving your collection of Eames chairs !!!
this is one stunning bathroom! great work you’ve done! kudos you must be very proud!…and i agree with everyone-the marble hexagon tiles are lovely!
Looks like it only took…
about 2000 hours!!!
Oh, to have the energy of you two!!!
“…But what about grout cleaning? Will it be hard to maintain?”
LOL!!!
woodley park-zoo doesn’t know Anna do they!
wow it looks so awesome. i’m super jealous.
WOW! Gorgeous!
LOVE the tile! Love it all, actually :)
it’s AMAZING. so clean and inviting. a breath of fresh air. the tiles are a surprise — so orderly and precise and yet some refreshing, organic patterning in the marble. it’s wonderful to see all of your hard work coming to life. i can almost hear that soothing bathwater already.
i have been waiting for this moment and now we finally get to see the amazing bathroom! now i cannot wait for the tub to come in! it looks amazing and definitely an inviting place for a bath.
looking gorgeous
Can you tell me about yr tiles? Where? love them!
Where did you get the pendant light?
Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone! :) It sure feels great to have an end in sight for this project. Hopefully the electric will be done in a couple of weeks, and then we can put up the wallpaper and get our fixtures installed. Yay!
To answer some questions…
W-P Zoo: DiP is right, if you have to ask about keeping something clean, you don’t know me. ;) I’m not too worried. We don’t wear shoes in the house, and this is a 2nd floor bathroom. The grout (and marble) will be sealed, and I vacuum and mop the entire house every week.
Oh, and that’s just a standard-issue Home Depot sash lock, so you too can partake and in the sexiness if you so desire!
amy: The tiles are bevel-less white carrera marble hexagons. We bought ours through Fuda tile in Ramsey, NJ, but I’m sure you can get them elsewhere. Ask at your local tile store. They may be able to special order them even if you don’t see them on display.
AAW: The pendant light is the 8″ BASISK from IKEA. It’s sold as a plug-in light, so I had to cut the cord in order to hardwire it.
so beautiful!
Wow, those floors tiles ARE so amazing. You’re lucky to have the window…I can see in your pics that the natural light really makes them look super. I am inspired to rip up my crappy plastic floor sooner rather than later.
I have never seen marble tiles that shape! How gorgeous! Your bathroom is going to be a dream when it’s done.
Wow! Those tiles are gorgeous!
Love the tile! I was thinking about white penny rounds for my floor, but hmmm. I may have to do more research. I wonder how these would hold up in a shower?
those tiles are lovely. they look sparkly.
It looks beautiful. I love the tile!
Wow, very, very promising!
The bathroom floor tile is spectacular.

I LOVE the tiles and are looking for them myself! I have found honed but yours look polished. Are your hexagon tiles polished? They look FABULOUS!!
