We were dreading the next tile project in store for us after our “issues” tiling the shower, but tiling the bathroom floor was SO much easier. Again we’d inherited beautiful surplus tile from Dominic’s dad’s house, this time Italian porcelain and very natural-looking. The tricky part was actually before the tiling, when Dominic used varying depths of floor leveler to make the bathroom less like a carnival funhouse. But it must have worked, because no one has ever fallen off of the toilet.
According to our usual paradoxical design scheme, we spent very little money on simple shelves and trim, but splurged on the Devonshire widespread faucet. To me, it makes sense to spend more money on those finishing touches, especially when upgrading at that stage usually involves just a little bit more cash rather than thousands. The sink itself came to us free after a more discriminating customer returned it to the plumbing supply company due to an almost invisible black mark on the underside. The medicine cabinet is from EBay, and it’s distressed (in a good way). The seller happened to be from my mom’s tiny hometown in Illinois, which seemed like a good omen.
