Here is the final result from April 3rd's blog post: "This Shower is HOT!".
The clients are pleased and I'm stoked! It didn't go without glitches as the GC "warned me" about specifying the poly-resin crown moulding ever again as it gave him a run for his money. Other modifications made were cutting the large field tile in the shower bays because of the need to slope for better drainage. The 12"x12" tiles didn't give enough room to slope appropriately within the short run and had to be cut down to 6"x6"; modifying the bullnose trim tile to run the full vertical length on the shower bay partitions -- this was a great recommendation by the tile sub and the result was an uninterrupted frame around all of the partition edges.
The overall effect was achieved and the space functions perfectly with additional lighting, significantly better slip resistance through the use of more appropriate floor tiles, and incorporating the spa-like feel through the use of the color and layout of the tiles.
What would I have done differently? I would have demo'd the glass block windows because it's throwing off the mojo AND ends up being a focal point to boot! Also, I would have only used one horizontal band of accent tile versus two - it just doesn't seem necessary. But I continue to live and learn...
