The bathrooms are on the way



I ummed and aahed over the mosaics for ages. I love the look of mosaics. If I look at bathrooms in a magazine, my eyes are drawn constantly to mosaics. Mosaics in the shower, mosaics around the bath, mosaics on the floor. It's fair to say my heart was set on mosaics. However, along with mosaics comes all that grout. Grout that can get grubby and mouldy and take nasty chemicals to keep clean. The green side of my brain knew I should be choosing tiles as large as possible to minimise the cleaning, so for a while there it was going to be big tiles all over everywhere. And yet, I love mosaics! Eventually I reached a compromise with myself. There's room to both be green and to love mosaics. In the ensuite the mosaics are well away from the shower and should stay dry and mould free most of the time. And as for the mosaic clad bath in the dowbstairs bathoom, well, I love it and....better pass the toothbrush.
