01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

I completed this powder room remodel featuring a custom herringbone tile floor, new floating cabinetry, interior trim, and painting. To ensure long-lasting durability, I installed an uncoupling membrane beneath the marble-look herringbone tile before grouting the entire floor. I then measured, cut, and prepped new baseboards and quarter round trim to wrap the perimeter cleanly. The update was finished with freshly painted walls, a floating wood vanity with modern wall sconces, and a matching tall wall-mounted storage cabinet.

@Ian MacFayden I think the shower install was definitely my favourite. I found it the most challenging because I had never done waterproofing like that before, and I had only a small bit of experience tiling, but stepping back at the end of the day to see it done? That felt very rewarding.
