Upstairs Bathroom at the Alliance Francaise Show House

It is hard to believe that this bathroom
once had a tiled walk-in shower.
 
 
 
 

Downstairs Bathroom at Alliance Francaise Show House

Can you tell what is old and what is new? George wanted to demonstrate that one does not need to totally gut a bathroom, to update it. A row of tiles were cut out of the existing 4 x 4 shower tiles. Glass tile was inserted as an accent to give the shower surround a modern look. The walls were treated with a technique that creates the illusion that the walls are covered in suede. Inexpensive ceramic tile was set over the damaged floor. A custom vanity and beautiful hand carved marble sink are the splurges in the room.

Back Splash in Alliance Francaise's Kitchen

Isn't the back splash tile a beautiful complement to the faux painting
on the walls, cabinets and floor?

The tile is a 3 x 6 subway tile, with rectified edge, set in a running bond pattern. The accent tile is from Oceanside.

Handpainted Italian Back Splash

This back splash was a lot of fun for George to do. The field tiles were purchased by the owner's in Italy, without border tiles. The owner's saw our advertisement in New Orleans Home & Lifestyles Magazine and called to see if George could do what other contractors said could not be done. George designed the profile, for the border tiles, along with choosing the blue color. He took the design to Derby Tile and Mark Derby handmade and colored the border tiles.
