Wheeler Powder Room

 

The Wheeler’s have a small main floor bathroom, that needed an update.

The linoleum flooring and fixtures were removed before getting out the camera so the before photo is actually post demo.

Jeff accompanied Mrs. Wheeler to FLOOR AND DÉCOR where they have a great selection of well priced tile.  They  were able to find 3 tiles that she liked and were able to come up with this design.  As you can see there is the darker tiles on the outside edges, the accent brick pattern strips in between, and then the lighter tiles on the inside of the accent tiles which we turned on a 45.  This is great if you want the look and feel of a rug but you don’t want to cover up the beautiful flooring itself.

In these photos you can better see the detail and coloring of the tile. You can also see we used the same darker outer tile as a tile baseboard.

I liked that we were able to frame around the toilet, and it just added more dimension to the tile job.  The plumbing was then reconnected and the anchor bolts were trimmed, then caps placed to cover them (not pictured).  The Wheeler’s were very happy with the outcome, especially given the fact that when you have such a small space to work with it’s hard to do something that brings life to the room without overpowering it or making it seem even smaller.  This definitely opened it up and gave it the update it needed.
