Washington DC Shower Renovations Part 1

This is the master bathroom in a nice renovated brown stone in Capitol Hill. I used marbleized ceramic tile to create this dramatic, open shower. 

The soap dish was made out of the field tile with back beveled edges to allow them to butt up against each other nicely.  

This base was preformed and set in thinset mortar. This process is a bit pricier but a lot faster installation. The curb was built with the floor tile as apposed to the wall tile because the floor tile is thicker and sturdier. Again the edges are back beveled to allow the tile to butt up close to one another. 

In these last two images, you can see how I brought the bullnose to the floor and allowed the curb to just but up against the wall. I usually like the wall tile to fall on top of the floor tile to hide cuts, i.e. what you do with baseboards. But in this case, I thought it would look more solid and cleaner to allow the bullnose to go straight to the floor first instead of potentially having a weird cut to go around the curb.
