How wide are the grout lines? - They look really thin. Are they string-set? Or 1/32? 1/16? »
Clay Squared to Infinity The tile setter Jan Hohn of Hohn and Hohn does use the string method many times. I don't recall if she did on this project. The standard she shoots for is 1/16th in general.
Love the tile - is the perimeter floor tile in the pattern grey or black? Looks lovely. I - I have a walnut vanity and a cherry stain with a white marble top. Wondering if this tile might complement it well. Looks like this bath has a darker wood vanity as well.
Also, I'd love to know the manufacturer of this toilet as the alternative recommended by Danze isn't quite as lovely. Any help yu can offer would be greatly appreciated! »

Clay Squared to Infinity It is set in to the wall between the studs. The TP holder is a one piece insert that has holes for the TP and a bar to hold it. Basically it is just a 6" x 6" by 6" tile.
