Did you have to introduce another tile for the tile edge treatments?
I am using this same St. Germain tile in my bathroom, but not sure if the as manufactured bullnose tiles will suffice for all edge treatments. Did you use any other material to accomplish edge details, or grind the tile in places to accomplish the best edges?
 
Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design St. Germain offers a 3 x 12" bullnose, plus 6 x 12" cove base and 1 x 6" cove base corner. I recommend using these trim pieces. I don't know if the tile setter had to make any corrections on the jobsite in order to achieve this beautiful job.

Marci Imes Thank you for the prompt reply. Your design, and the resulting bathroom is stunning. I will be following your work for future inspiration. The edge between the tub deck and the tub face is my challenge. I am not certain if the bullnose will work here, but if not - we are considering a Schluter product for the shampoo niche and tub transitions.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Marci, many thanks for the kind words. I truly appreciate them.

I have great respect for Schluter products, however I do not think it is necessary to use bullnose at the edge between the tub deck and the tub face. We have the same situation on the tub in our master bath, which has been in place for 16 years, with no problems and no bullnose, and with almost daily use of the tub.

Marci Imes Hello Carolyn - The project is underway and we are using the Chamois St. Germain tile as you did. The shade of neutral white paint you used works so well. Do you recall what the name of the paint was?
