Anyway, since this tile is not available through Architectural Ceramics -- where we are getting the rest of our tile -- our builders will have to order it directly from the manufacturer. I've spent the past few days finalizing the details of all the sizes, shapes, and colors with them so they can place the order. Today I went over to the house to go over the tile design for the bathroom with Rob so he can estimate the quantities we'll need. I had some PDFs of the bathroom layout so I drew a quick sketch of what I had in mind, but it was very helpful to be able to stand in the actual bathroom with a tape measure to get a better sense of what goes where.
We want to have a tiled-in mirror in this bathroom, so Rob and I tried to determine what the dimensions of the mirror should be based on the tile layout, the height/width of the vanity, and the placement of the light fixtures. Rob marked everything out on the wood studs so we could get a better sense of where the mirror would go. It probably doesn't show up well in this photo, but we ended up with lots of pencil marks just to the left of the green pipe.

On my way out, I noticed the concrete guys had taken the forms off the window well. Because we are renovating the house, the county required us to add some sort of egress from the basement so it would comply with current building codes. The original house did not have any access to the outside from the basement -- the only way out was up the stairs and through the kitchen. So, even though we weren't thrilled to have to spend extra money on an egress window, I'm sure it will be worth it both as a safety issue and for the extra natural light it will let into what was a very dark basement.
