Tiling bathroom floor

Never again!” – is the first phrase I hear from my very patient husband when he's out of our under renos bathroom. “Never again I will have to do this!” is another, a bit louder one. Can’t say I blame him for it, more like I blame myself for having to put him through this “pain in the…you know where” experience.

V spent two days straight accurately laying out the shower pan, piece by half-piece or smidgen of a piece in some spots(around the drain, border) to get the pattern spot on.

I don’t think it is stressed enough on the web world how tough these honeycomb/hexagon tiles are to put in by yourself. They look amazing, they feel amazing but THAT comes with a price and hours of kneeling and meticulous labour involved. So if you want to put in these by yourself, our advice would be – don’t. There is nothing better and easier than regular square or rectangular tiles, in fact, ‘till the last minute I wanted to change my mind in their favour, but since we already bought these and were eager to finish this project asap, I let go.
As for the shower pan ledge, we decided to lay it out with subway tile, on both: top and sides. And to make up for the width (the ledge is a bit wider than the tile), we added metal edging on sides. I think it looks neat. And we’ve managed to save some $, which is always great news in the whole renovating process.
