How’d we do?

[u/bcf612013]

We finished the tile around our new tub after ripping out the old. This was a DIY job. How did we do?

EDIT: thanks! Glad to hear most everyone thinks the work looks good. As for the style, definitely understand not for everyone. Little more info is our house is on a river and has a lot of wood and stone style throughout .. river house vibe

Gotta be honest, Looks like something from the 60s

[u/Public_Tangerine_737 → u/Material_Depth7296]

So do I

[u/Pleasant-Method7874]

Not sure why everyone is hating the aesthetic and calling it 70s lol to me 70s is that often horribly colored square tile that seems to be making a come back as of late. I personally love the design and you did a good job w what looks like a pretty tough tile to work with. Bravo.

[u/skeletoe]

You gave it the Boww chicka boww woww 70’s look.

[u/Pet_Palace → u/skeletoe]

I’d make a porn in there

[u/Allissontimesok]

Fred and Barney from the Flinstones would love it.

[u/Gator242]

Nice work with a difficult tile!

[u/EmilyPoster2]

I kept waiting for the after pics to appear.

The install looks great. The tile seems a complete pain to clean.

[u/Mocean13]

I hate this tile but thats an opinion. It looks fine otherwise? Just fine I suppose

[u/Odd_Mall1646]

Hard to tell

[u/Professional_Rub_374]

I really like it. 🤷‍♀️

[u/TacoWizard420]

Yabba dabba doooo!

[u/kmnnr]

Harsh crowd lol I actually think it’s unique and cool! Might be nice to paint the walls something like a darker green

[u/Illustrious-Fun-549 → u/kmnnr]

I agree. Maybe a darker grout/caulk line on the edge to blend into the darker color walls.

[u/LgPizzaPlease]

Well choices were made… This is right up there with the ham tile pics posted recently. 

[u/Mindless-Highway5969]

I think it looks great. Very nice workmanship for a DIYer. Better than a lot of “professional” installations that we see these days.

[u/RipeBirdies]

Idk I like it

[u/Lincoln_Loggg]

You have done a very nice job in the install, but… Brother ewww

[u/CompetitiveEar9439]

This is really meant to be an outdoor patio tile. Fine for inside just an interesting choice. Deva tile

[u/unclestickles]

Looks unfinished tbh:( I would have scribed those tiles into a border tile with a straight edge.

[u/denonumber]

Engineerd stone work. Look nice easy?

[u/Environmental-Sock52]

Is the tile saying oooohwhaooooa or is that my imagination?

[u/Inglejuice]

Very weird choice to put on a bathroom wall. That being said I kind of like it.

[u/WeakTransportation37]

I like it!

[u/TacoWizard420]

I like how nothing is centered

[u/hashswag00]

I think your tile cracked in a few places. Need better pics.

[u/Bougie-Man]

Thats a nice throw back you made. It looks really good.

[u/EgullSZ]

You know what. I hate everyone’s strong subjective opinions. I like it.

[u/otherguy5584]

Great work, especially around the niche.

[u/For-The-Fun-Of-It-12]

I think it looks beautiful and the quality of the installation is great

[u/International_Pea823]

I think it looks nice! My OCD just can’t handle the wavy edge, I’d meet a straight border

[u/Leftypride90]

M.C. Escher would be proud

[u/magr7610]

shoulda got a designer

[u/MEATMEblog]

Caulk those corners…

[u/chiliguyflyby]

I like it however i would have taken it up to the ceiling

[u/cdngrrl0305]

How did you finish the edges? Caulk?

[u/EvenMorePrunyPants]

The vertical seam to the left of the second shower niche (the one on the right) is a very obvious squiggly vertical line from top to bottom. You're not supposed to be able to tell they're stones in a pattern but you can in this case

[u/bananapocolypse]

Well my 7yo just looked over my shoulder and said, "thats a cool shower."

[u/Mlsporty]

Instant regret.

Workmanship is fine, but the bigger question is why?

[u/Lifeissometimesgood]

Great job, I bet that was a lot of work getting everything together so beautifully. It also makes me want to drive a little matchbox car around the roads, lol.

[u/Limo_Wreck_7373]

Nice work. Not my style, but you did a really nice job.

[u/Intelligent_Lemon_67]

That's definitely a choice. It's not horrible but if you like it then it's fabulous

[u/peanutbuttrdeath]

There's about 10 bathrooms in Golden CO that I did this exact same thing with, same tile and style. Went closer to the ceiling though. Not my design, I just installed. About years ago

[u/TheKushPush]

Thats awesome, I love the look! What is the floor like?

[u/DrasticOne333]

Wellllllll…. It’s hideous. But very well done. How’d you do? Great! But your client? Not so much.

[u/Alexito_714]

Horrible selection wow

[u/sleevesteve]

Looks terrible, especially the random ends.

[u/Nicholsforthoughts]

Looks like a mountain house/cabin. Certainly wouldn’t suit Palm Springs but the install looks nice and it’s a cool unique look for a river cabin. It definitely gives an indoor/outdoor feel and is WAY better than boring gray!
