BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
After opening and shuffling seven boxes (42 tiles 1'x2' 30cmx60cm) I tried as hard as I could to make the Calacutta Gold Looking I Marmi Tile look like a slab. It was not possible, I worked on it for two hours and used 100% overage. I settled on a tame down version of the photo below and then changed my mind after looking at this photo. I searched a few pictures to see if anyone else achieved it and could find no examples online.
My client came by to sign off on the tile layout (6" offset running bond) and asked me to make her bathroom look like this photo below. I showed her the picture on my IPhone.
I think the strong bands of veining on the Marmi Tile remind me of an art its brush strokes on canvas. When I was fine tuning the floor layout looking at the top photo above really helped group some of the strong veining components together.
Searching for pictures of Madonna's shower I found an interesting selfie of her in her shower and a bathroom shown on an English web page showing what I think is a bathroom renovation showcased by the Daily Mail UK shows a new shower built in just ten days for Gwyneth Paltrow. She had the space renovated so she could skip hotel life for a spell and the tile choosen by Gwyneth's designer looks to me like more of the I Marmi but with the Carrera White colour choice.
