Good work!! Hmm im not sure what you could do with that light switch. They do make smaller covers than the standard. You could see if that would work.

No there is no wood border. IT was just going to be tile up the wall, then paint. But ya the light switch cover is going to stick out. But I think maybe what I can do, is when I put on the grout, I can just grout around the light switch cover as well, but take off the cover so the grout doesn't stick to the cover. Then let it dry, then that'll just be what the light cover seals up against.

That does not sound like a bad idea. But from the one photo...the cover wont stick up that high. But then again like I said I can barely tell in the photo. Like Peter said see if you can get a smaller cover. I have seen the grouting around the cover before. Also I seen people place some tile up a little around the box. So if you have some left over tile. See if you can go up around there.

Well the tile was supposed to go above the box, but I was doing the other wall, and my cousin was doing that wall. And so I didn't notice until the end. There is NO tile above the box, so no matter what, the light swith cover will not sit flush against anything on the top, because there is a 1/4" gap between the wall and the cover.

Tile job looks good. Straightness = success

Tile is 100% complete. Finished about 90% of the grouting tonight, shoulda been uptown :( But I'm pretty happy with it. We couldn't grout a few spots because we had just installed that tile earlier, so when it's dried up tomorrow morning, I will finish that up. Then we can seal the grouting. We also got the new vanity from my mom (thanks mom!) but it had a hole cut in the visible side, so we went and bought a new piece of Melamine and replaced the side of the vanity. Cost me 10 bucks, not too bad of a price for a vanity I'd say!

Anywho, it's starting to look like a bathroom. Once the grout is all sealed, then we'll install the vanity and the toilet. Then paint the walls and the ceiling and the trim, and then time to move on to the bedroom!

Still haven't figured out the color to paint the bathroom. I've heard some people say the forest/olive green isn't good for this small of a room. Anyone have any input? The vanity will be white. Medicine cabinet will be white. So what color for the walls?

[Halon]

Here is a picture of the color I was thinking of for the bathroom. This specific color is from Benjamin Moore, called Liberty Park. Just a nice lighter olive/forest green, but with a greyish look to it as well. Any comments?

[92EvilTalon]

It will keep the room light. After seeing how small that bathroom is the Forest Green would of darken the room a little. Go with that color. The Liberty Park....

[Halon]

Everyday, it gets just a little closer to being finished .

I'd say any color would be nice, just keep it a light shade. The green you posted looked good I thought. Are you still working on the bedroom too that you originally posted?
