We recently finished a master bathroom in Windsor, Colorado with porcelain and glass tile.
We began by removing the existing tub, tile and shower. We then removed a wall between the shower and tub to open up the bathroom and bring more natural light into the shower area. Doing this opened up the entire back half of the bathroom and made it feel like it wasn’t so cramped. One little wall can really close in a fairly large area and make it seem much smaller than it actually is.
We enlarged the shower a bit and waterproofed everything with Schluter Kerdi waterproofing membrane and used Schluter Ditra on the bathroom floor. The tile in the shower is Florida Tile’s Legend ‘Olympic’ in 12 x 24 with a double row of ‘Air Stripp’ bronze glass mosaic inserted between each tile. This design was carried along the tub deck and splash to tie the shower and tub together with a single design element. The shower floor has the same line of porcelain in a 2 x 2 mosaic. We also installed two shelves in the corner and ran the glass pencil rail across the face of them to continue the flow of the design.
The floor is the Legend ‘Olympic’ as well in an 18 x 18 inch large format tile, half of which I cut in half to create a pattern with 9 x 18 and the 18 x 18 tiles. Many times tile is not available in specific sizes needed for certain patterns. If larger formats are available they can be cut to size to create nearly any pattern you like.
The bathroom was finished off with frameless glass shower doors and brushed nickel fixtures. This complete master bathroom remodel really came together nicely and the homeowners were very happy with the end result.

If you are a return visitor to my site I’m certain you have seen the word ‘Kerdi’ mentioned several times. For those unfamiliar with kerdi and what it does this post will describe some basics about the membrane and why it is our preferred method for waterproofing a shower. Kerdi is a polyethylene waterproofing membrane…
I’ve just completed a full shower remodel in Fort Collins, Colorado. The existing shower had a fiberglass shower basin and white 4 x 4 inch tile. I removed the fiberglass pan and replaced it with a curbless tiled floor utilizing the kerdi membrane and drain with a regular deck mud shower base. The bench across…
We have recently completed a full bathroom remodel in Fort Collins. The previous bathroom was a white marble. It was 30 years old and time for an update! Although most natural stone is essentially timeless, there were underlying issues in the shower and deck substrate which demanded an upgrade. Coupled with the fact that the…

You can find details about the countertop HERE. The main field tile for the backsplash consists of 2 x 2 inch “Livingston Leather” porcelain tile from Florida Tile….
Tile, more than any other flooring, has the ability to literally last as long as the structure in which it is installed – or longer. For instance, the photo to the right is part of a Roman mosaic known as the “Great Pavement” at Woodchester, Gloucestershire, England. It measures 48 feet by 48 feet and…
I recently completed a porcelain kitchen floor in Fort Collins. The tile is 12 x 24 inch ‘bronze wood’ porcelain tile in a running bond, or ‘brick’ pattern. The homeowner chose this particular tile to match the dark cabinets they had installed in their home. Large format tiles such as these are becoming a very…
