I tied these little bundles up the staircase at regular intervals.
Even better when they actually serve a purpose!.You can see we used a lot of really beautiful tile in the room too.
Actually, I may have gone a little overboard on the tile when I was designing this room.I was a little bit like a kid in a candy store!.We started out by choosing a shiny white subway tile to go all around the room, halfway up the wall.
We used the beveled version so it would have more of a historical feel and fit in with our old farmhouse.On top of that we ran a little strip of marble mosaic tiles in a brick pattern and topped it off with a chair rail, also made out of tile.
I also got pretty excited about the whole marble thing and decided that the whole wall behind the vanity would be amazing if we did a marble mosaic in a herringbone pattern.
Well, that sounds easy enough until you get to the edges and realize that you need to figure out a way to cut each individual teeny tiny tile into a little mini 1/4 inch triangle with the tile saw.He was actually able to apply adhesive behind each of those shims and have them hold right onto the surface of the stainless steel, so that really helped give him peace of mind.
And here’s another picture of the clamping process.I always think these pictures make it look like our projects are so fancy and complicated, even though they never are!.
We created another side panel exactly the same way and then brought them together with the front panel so we had a full cover for our vent pipe.. You can see all those shims working their magic back there!Don’t mind the water bottles and soccer gear in the background!
