1950s bathroom and fireplace progress

Moving along!  The glass tile in the shower is a 3×12 pale green we are orienting vertically.  A shampoo niche is carved in to the wall opposite the showerhead, to be lined with rectangular glass mosaic tile in a blue/green/brown mix.

We’re using the same mosaic tile on the entire wall behind the new vanity, around the window, mirror and sconces.

The floor tile is 12×12 ceramic in a tan/green which blends in to the scheme of the room.  The makore vanity cabinet from City Cabinetmakers picks up the brown in the wall tile.

The fireplace has been tiled.  The new hearth stone – a limestone slab from Ann Sacks called Topo Azul – is put in place, and the new simple mantle built – to be painted.   Finish details to follow.
