Basement Bathroom / by Scott Newland

When we built the house in 2017, we made the decision to leave the basement bathroom and family room “roughed In” in order to save some some money. We have since decided to finish them off, and the final work in the ¾ bath is nearing completion. This is an exercise both in cost control and aesthetic experimentation. The main floor tile is the last of the excess tile we had from one of the upstairs bathrooms. The IKEA vanity’s dark gray thermofoil finish was matched for the accent wall paint and the additional tiles needed to “stretch” the tile area in order to cover the floor and base.
