After successful completion of their first bathroom John and Vanessa contacted me about doing their second bathroom — the "guest" bath. As previous, Vanessa — with a background in retail/design — had a good number of the design elements and ideas sorted, including the idea for hex tile. When approaching the build, we still had a few extra things to sort out, including the reinforcement of a later-addition pocket door which joined a tiled wall — a terrible combination as there could be little/no structural reinforcement to the tile.
After a few design iterations and lots of structural steel later, we had reinforced the door-wall, created a nook for bath products, created a custom walnut vanity and medicine cabinet and worked the hex tile in an undulating pattern up the wall. It turned out well.
