Ann Arbor Bathroom Tile Work in Progress

This one is coming together nicely. We're mid-install on a full bathroom remodel in Ann Arbor, and the tile work is at that satisfying stage where you can really start to see where things are headed.

The shower walls are going up in large-format gray tile set in a staggered pattern - clean, modern, and timeless. The small-format mosaic floor tile inside the shower is already laid and centered on the drain, which is exactly where it needs to be. That kind of layout planning doesn't happen by accident. It takes solid prep work before a single tile goes down.

The niche cutout on the back wall is still in progress, taped off and protected while the surrounding tile sets. That detail matters more than most people realize. A poorly framed or uneven niche can throw off grout lines and cause water problems down the road. We take our time getting it right.

The main bathroom floor tile is also being run in a way that ties the whole space together - same tone, same vibe, flowing right out from the shower entry. That kind of continuity is what separates a bathroom that just functions from one that actually looks intentional and well-designed.

There's still work to do before we show the finished result, but the bones are solid. Good tile work is about what you don't see as much as what you do - the substrate, the waterproofing, the layout planning. We don't skip steps.
