With all of the work we have been doing on the house, we haven’t really been focusing on the Master Bedroom. It has been on my mind, but there is a chronological process to all of the work we are doing here and the way it works out…we need to finish “A”, “B” and “C” before we can get started on “D”. For example, I am not going to pull Gino off of the kitchen tile work to start on the vanities in the master bath because we are waiting on the kitchen tile work completion to finish installing the cabinets…and we are waiting for the kitchen cabinet installation to order the counter tops (so we can have an exact measurement) and the counter tops take 6 weeks to arrive. HOWEVER, we are waiting for the vanities to be built so we can measure the amount of tile we need so we can start to finish the master bedrooms jacuzzi and vanity corner…which is the first thing you see as you enter the room. See what I am saying…chronological process.
Another example of this is the process of laying the marble walls in the Master Bath. The tile we are using on the floor is a pre-sealed and grouted travertine. It is somewhere between a 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick. It will (is) cover the entire floor and will be the 6” border around the bottom of the shower and wet room. From there, we will stack the marble on top of it and carry it up the wall to six feet. Here is the process; the marble is 3/4″ to 1″ thick…so we need to build the bottom tiles out a half an inch or so so the staggered marble tiles are flush with the border tile. Because the marble is so heavy, we need to give the travertine a day or two to dry to ensure it is structurally sound….but we came up 10 tiles short for the installation so that has come to a grinding halt. We are pretty much dead in the water in the master bath until those tiles come in…which I had to special order from San Juan.

The floor looks great! I thought the travertine we bought was lighter then that? Weird….I like the 6″ border, too.
