Added this bathroom into an existing parlor, - - the area where the pedestal sink and the toilet (which is tucked behind that short wall) are located, was a closet, - - I enlarged and headered the door opening from about 30" to 48", - - the toilet is tucked under the stairs going to the second floor, - - but there's still plenty of 'head'-room (get it? :lol: ), - - the Neo-Angle shower barely fit in the design without moving the existing parlor window, - - I 'angled' the door-wall so as not to intrude on the room too much, - - the stone tile is 'square' with the door and the angled shower, - - yet effectively diagonal in the sink/toilet area. The tiles are cut 'around' the shower base. Hard to get decent pictures on such a small room, - - but that's what the customer wanted, - - as 'small' a desgn as possible, - - anyway, - - you get the idea.

Sorry about the poor picture quality, - - guess I'll stick to carpentry.

It looks good, and hard to photograph too. I'm not feelin' the large tiles, but they do look very well done. I like small tiles for small spaces. Nice color scheme too.

Thanks, - - although the tiles and the size were their choice, - - I like them. Remember too, - - in a small room, - - more tiles means more lines, which gives a 'busier' appearance, - - and somewhat closes in a room more.

Looks good. No mirror?

Yes, - - there's a 'medicine-cabinet' mirror at your right shoulder if you're standing at the sink, - - you can see a little bit of it in the first two pictures, - - it kinda' lines up (across from) with the shower door. Hey, - - did you get a 'sex-change' since last time we spoke??, - - you look a little different :lol:

Sure, you look great, in fact I almost didn't recognize you with those sunglasses, - - must get confusing now when you 'tinkle', - - err, - - I mean 'tinker' around :lol:

Nice job Tom, a very creative use of limited space.

Montyx, if you combine the sunglasses with your old picture you'll look like Dan Akroyd of the Blues Brothers.
