This was the earlier pic of the bath nosotros went to. It belongs to the amazing Sydney (and her hubby Zach) from Frankie as well as Grae (side note: her habitation is only every bit beautiful inwards existent life! Go cheque her out!). This bath was already beautiful, but when she told us she wanted to add together a novel bath accent wall I could already envision how stunning it would be!

Adding a Bathroom Accent Wall inwards a Weekend

When yous accept downward all of the shelving as well as decor, as well as accept a pic at night, the room looks pretty bare! lol. But nosotros had to withdraw everything (including the toilet) as well as pose driblet cloths on every surface to protect everything from the mess were were close to brand alongside tile as well as grout.

The commencement stair was to tile the space. We used a gorgeous 3×6″ tile alongside 1/4″ grout lines. At times all iv of us were helping, but when the ladies got busy, these men finished the entire wall (about l sq ft.) inwards close eight hours (including stops for didactics as well as lunch).

We used mastic instead of sparse laid to adhere the tile because it’s a lot faster, as well as nosotros didn’t demand to worry close a perfect seal without air bubbles, since this wall probable won’t acquire much H2O on it. Mastic typically is cleaner to pose up, as well as faster, as well as hence it was a practiced choice!

I’d tell eight hours to tile an entire room is pretty good! When the tile was all up, the room already looked amazing. It made such a huge difference, but nosotros were all super excited to grout the side past times side day.

Grouting the walls ever looks worse earlier it looks better. We added a deep grey (almost black) grout which is gorgeous against the white subway scheme tiles!

The grout makes a huge mess. If ever yous tin do your tile move earlier your infinite is finished, nosotros highly recommend it! In this case, they already had a beautifully finished bathroom, as well as hence nosotros did halt upward having to do a few behavior upon ups when the dark grout got where it wasn’t supposed to be… (sorry close your ceiling Sydney!).

But it was worth it! Because inwards only 2 days, this bath had a gorgeous novel characteristic wall!

How to Hang a Mirror on Tile (or anything!)

A lot of people uncovering this role intimidating. If I do a whole wall of tile, how volition I hang my mirror dorsum up? When it’s non likewise heavy, nosotros endeavour Command Strips, but those oftentimes neglect too, lol. So here’s the quick as well as slow agency to drill into tile!

You tin drill into the tile or the grout alongside the diamond drill bit. When yous drill into grout it volition live on faster as well as easier, as well as hence nosotros would ever recommend that when yous can, every bit long every bit your mirror doesn’t hold off likewise depression or likewise awkward.

From superlative left to bottom right.

Start past times pulling out a diamond drill bit. If yous don’t receive got one, they don’t toll likewise much as well as are definitely worth it as well as hence that yous tin acquire materials upward on your tiles!

We used painters record to grade out just where nosotros wanted to drill. The painters record lets us move out pencil marks without damaging the tile, as well as helps us brand certain that everything is measured accurately as well as is level.

Start past times drilling at angle. These drill bits don’t receive got a pointed end, as well as hence this helps acquire into the infinite a fiddling fighting better. You don’t desire your diamond drill fighting to overheat, as well as hence yous demand to continuously dip it into the H2O to cool it down.

After you’ve broken into the grout business or tile, yous tin straighten your drill, as well as drill lead into the wall until yous striking the drywall.

You probable won’t striking a stud, as well as hence yous likely demand to pose a drywall plug into the wall earlier yous drill your screws in. Once the screws are inwards place, you’re laid upward to add together your mirror!

Seriously, this infinite is stunning! Seeing it inwards mortal was such a treat. I’m as well as hence lucky that these guys invited us into their habitation as well as nosotros tin telephone band them friends. I’ll allow the pictures do all of the talking, because I know you’re only dying to meet the wall!

Seriously gorgeous! Two days is all yous demand to add together a beautiful characteristic wall as well as completely transform a space! Hope yous liked this quick as well as slow transformation!
