*Update – I was about to publish this post when I got a call from Martin. They left last night and should be here in a few hours.
It was like Santa didn’t show. I found out this morning (Wed), as I burst into the house, camera in hand ready for Martin and his entourage to roll in (he has two female assistants – tool belt toting, skill saw savvy and able to lift super heavy things without batting an eyelash! I kid you not.) that they have not left Seattle yet. I’m hoping they arrive late tomorrow (Thurs), but more than likely it’ll be Friday.
At least I do have some new things to share!
The tile in the Master Bathroom is complete.
The area around the bathtub is getting wainscoting trim with a 3″ shelf on each end for shampoo, candles, etc.
Our bathtub is on it’s way. Here’s an actual photo of it getting inspected in Tennessee.
The floors are now completely installed. Here’s the Master Bedroom.
The slate tiles came for the entry. They’re 12″ x 24″. The grout color will be sand. I’m on the fence if they’re too dark? Please let me know what you think!
Thank you for the emails and comments. I try to respond to each, but if I missed any, please resend it. I will also post email questions – I will leave the names off – don’t worry:-) on the blog in case others have the same. For comment questions, I will respond in the comments. There was a question about the photos in the last post and if any had been painted yet. No, not until next week or so. What’s on the walls now is just primer, although I don’t know how different they will look. The doors and trim have not been painted yet either.
Motto for the day: Good things are worth waiting for. I hope yours is filled with goodness.
had the same thing happen! luckily our came the next day. hate that. you know i loooove the bathroom and i think the dark slate looks elegant. great idea about the wainscoting!
Thanks Leslie – I pulled the trigger on the slate! It’s going in tomorrow!

I like the entry tiles – great choice! And LOVE the bathtub – stunning! You know what is so unexpected for me to see – how clean your contractor is keeping things during the construction – our house was a disgusting dusty dirty pit the entire time ….they never cleaned as they went – good choice in contractors!
Gorgeous!! What handsome tiles, and that bathtub is divine!! So sculptural. Look forward to seeing more ~
Cheers from DC,

I love love love the shower tiles! What is the material? Too bad we just reno’d our bath.
I don’t think the entry hall slate is too dark. You have a window to brighten the area 🙂
Hi Dawn, the tiles are Carrerra marble subway tiles. You can’t go wrong with them!

Phew! Another ‘yes’! They’re in!
I love every single selection – the marble shower is gorgeous and the stainless freestanding tub – a DREAM!! Can’t wait to see it finished!!
LOVE the tile entry, thinking of using the same for my new master bath. do mind sharing where you sourced?
HI Anne, my tile setter sourced them. They are porcelain tiles, but look just like real slate. Much easier maintenance. I believe he purchased them from a place called CTW in Novato, CA.
