This is one of my favorite bathrooms that I've done so far. Design wise it is about perfect. Everything is balanced. All the tiles are all made of the same material and are the same size. I just adjusted the shapes and angles to create texture and pattern variances. And I also got to use a lot of features that have practical applications and work great in the design.
This is the first time I've worked with glass blocks. Because I didn't have to stack them, I can't say that I got the real experience using them. But these came out great for what we needed them for. They provide light and a sense of openness.

Here you can see two corner shelves made out of the 12" floor tile. I cut a 6" triangle, slightly smaller than a half of a 12" tile from corner to corner. Then I use the bullnose to cap the front of the shelf. Because these are easy to make and they are made from the actual field tile, they are guaranteed to match better than any factory made shelf you can buy.

How did you make the corner shelves so thick? Did you put 3 tiles together instead of 2?
The shelves are three tile stacked up with a bullnose covering the front. Thanks for looking.
Thanks! I don't like when there are 2 glued back to back because the face looks a little cheap. Yours look great.
What did you use to glue the 3 tiles together (for the shelf)? I have heard some people use epoxy, or did you use thinset? Did you need to rough up the finish tile surface to get it to stick to the one above?
Thanks, it looks great.
