Rub a dub dub

It was time to make the bathroom pretty and make it ours. In addition to the issues with the tiles, the bathtub had a built-in non-slip treatment that someone tried to clean off, but it simply resulted in gross. (Don't even look at the caulking job.)

I was not sad to see the tile go away. And look at how solid the structure was underneath:

We wanted something classic and a bit personal. We decided on subway tiles, but we wanted something beyond just plain white subway tile. One day it came to me: if we wanted subway tile, why not make it look like a subway? And not just any subway, but why not the Paris Metro? This would fit the bill perfectly: personal but classic. We took the Metro to the Blanche stop when we were in Paris the day we got engaged. Ah, romance!

Here's how it all turned out:

It's lovely and white and clean and exactly what I wanted. A few things that make the difference: dark grout, beveled tile, and the custom-made sign. I'm so happy with how it turned out!
