Today I wanted to feature a master bathroom floor that we recently completed at a home we are doing up on the ocean in Bethany Beach, DE. Not unlike many of the custom homes we project in, this master bathroom will certainly be a showcase when it is completed. Like the rest of the house, the floor design was drawn by Bruce Palmer Design Studios.
The basic plan was to use a 6" border around the perimeter of the room comprised of a Brushed and Chiseled Travertine while the inset is done in a Cobblestone Mosaic with a repeating pattern. The hours Josh took to lay this room out were long and arduous. As seen in the pictures below, Josh installed the field tile (the mosaics) first. He then fabricated the borders from an actual 16" x 24" tile, ripping it down to the proper width. Many of the cut edges of the border became exposed. This posed a problem since the edges all have a "chiseled and hammered" look. To handle this Josh painstakingly recreated the "chiseled and hammered" look to have evereything blend.
These two shots below show the hallway leading to the toilet room. Notice the centering of this hallway with the circle pattern aligning in the middle of the layout.
Our last shot shows Josh looking over the finished floor, prior to his assistant (Beers) coming in to seal the stone and apply the grout.
