Carrera marble backsplash. Go figure...par for the month...shorted 1 box of tile. I suppose I need to check quantities from now on

Before:

Midway...after running out of tile :sad:

 

Nice!!!!!

 

very nice young man. I hope ya used some good thinset with that install:thumbsup:

 

Mapei Adesilex P10. Perfect thinset for carrera marble! Great non-sag properties.

 

Nice drop cloth Angus. You really spare no expensive w/ your jobs.

 

Master bath.

Floor is brushed marble, with glass accents.

 

Master bath, with channel drain and Royal Mosa porcelain tile.

Custom vanity in bleached walnut.

 

Another great bath chris, I like that shower drain, but where are your red LED lights too calm the clients nerves after a long day, perhaps lavender would also be a calming color. :whistling

I really like the clean, no curb look. What is under the tile nobelseal membrane? hydro?

 

Thanks Dan.

Noble TS for whole floor and shower walls.

No LEDs for the drain, but there are some under the floating vanity which act as a night light.

 

chris, why is the bar for a washcloth, so low in the shower? client wish? Any other pics of the first master bath you posted?

 

The woman of the house wanted a foot rest for shaving her legs.

It's mounted into solid blocking and much stronger than I thought it would be. I actually tried to talk them out of it.

 

foot rest, interesting. is there a special product out there just for that? almost looks like it would be slippery.

 

Chris - that's really, really, nice man. I like the no curb and the colours tie together well.

Very nice work :thumbup: That's one for the portfolio.

 

ALL of Chris' jobs are ones for the portfolio.:notworthy

 

Real Clean! I like the doors and drain set up :thumbup:
Do you do your own glass work or sub it out?

 

Thanks, appreciate that.

I sub out custom shower enclosures like this one.

That shower has "Starphire" glass--which is clearer than typical standard tempered glass. You can tell the different on the edges--it looks blue-ish instead of green.

 

Thanks.

It's not exactly "no curb", but the curb is pretty minimal. It was required in order to slope the area of the shower, while leaving the rest of the room level.

We framed the slope into the floor, and waterproofed the whole room. I then had my stone fabricator make the curb from Caesarstone to follow the perimeter of the transition. You'll notice it matches and fits into the narrowest format of the floor tile pattern.

 

Nice work Chris. That curbless door is nice, what is under the glass? just the metal frame? I can't tell from the pic.

I did a shaving foot rest recently. Not something I would have though of on my own...

And a few more of that job

Ditra on the floor and Kerdi in the shower. Looking forward to trying out Nobel TS on my next one.

 

Really nice work Chris. A lot of people don't realize how much work is involved in building something so clean and minimalist. There is just no room for error. The lights under the cabinet are a nice touch. You're Idea?

Dave,
I don't know where you found it, but that faucet is slick as goose sh!t. Nice work all around.

The HO is a very well known architect in my area. He came up with the design and I did the engineering of materials and methods to make it work.

 

Thanks Josh. The HO found it on ebay and its actually pretty good quality. They also have a few with leds built in to the faucet.

 

I really liked that faucet too.
I thought it was gonna be expensive.
But seen it on amazon.com for $35

 

Finished the longest backsplash ever!

 

Very nice.

What am I seeing in the corner fillers of the cabinetry bases? Is that a different material?

 

Wow, never noticed that while I was working there. :laughing:

The cabinets are refaced so they might not be finished. However, if memory serves me well, that corner was done. Maybe just a lighter piece of maple veneer????

 

Looks like the original cabinets were pickled oak or white painted, and they just replaced the doors/drawer faces.

 

Old cabs were dark oak.
