Tile For Our Master Shower

Hey Friends!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

The boys had their piano recital on Saturday, and I was so proud of them.  I might share the video on my facebook page sometime.

Vacation Bible School started at our church last night too!  Cy and I are teaching Eli’s class (4’s & 5’s), and they are so stinkin’ adorable. Although it can be exhausting, it is sooo worth it.

 

Well, Cy has been making some progress in our master bathroom.  I quickly wanted to give you an update and share with you some inspiration pictures.

First, he put the rubber lining in the shower pan.

Then he centered the drain and covered the walls with 1/2 inch Hardi Backer Board.

The tile will go on top of the backer board.

Next, he installed a light/fan and covered the ceiling with Green Board which is mold and mildew resistant.  Then just like regular drywall, he covered the seams and nail holes.

We picked up a shower box from the Tile Shop for our shampoos and such.

Then Cy hand poured the floor.  He taped off the walls with black tape so he could see exactly how far up the wall the mud needed to go.  He also had to make sure that the floor sloped slightly down toward the drain to make sure the shower water would drain properly.

And that’s where we are for now!

Next, we are going to start tiling the walls and floor!  FUN!!

I get to help with this part. Smile

 

We will be covering the walls with white subway tile.  It’s such a classic look that I know we will love it for a long time.

 

Here are some inspiration pictures from my Bathroom Board on Pinterest to show you the look we are going for.
