wood tile bathroom


We are living in remarkable times for ceramic tile. The things the tile makers are doing these days are really creative, high quality and accurate. This tile truly looks like old wood flooring. The variation from piece to piece was wide enough to look natural.

Ironically, after pulling up the linoleum and plywood, what should I find but actual antique wood flooring! It was in poor shape or I might have refinished it and returned the tile.

A good deal of the wood around the toilet bowl was rotted out from occasional leaks over time, and had to be cut out and replaced. I thought I might have to give extra support to the joist underneath, but thankfully the damage didn't extend that far. Once I put in the tile I was really impressed with how it turned out.
