Janice Peters, Distinctive Decor I'm looking to design a similar space but very concerned about the "splash" going beyond 50". How far is the "splash" going here? This information would be very helpful; thanks.
Gaspar's Construction Since I am the contractor and not the home owner I can't really say for sure. My guess is that some water does splash out but this is also a shower for a couple with no kids.
Gaspar's Construction Shower Floor - 2x4 glossy white Elements bricklaid, Shower Curb - 4x4 glossy white Capriccio with 1x6 trim 11 edge, Shower walls - 3x6 Mayfair flat bricklaid.
Nicole Lanteri The Tile Shop is a great resource and has a white subway tile on their website that looks similar to what is in this shower. Here is the link to their site -- http://www.tileshop.com/walltile/subway/Oxford-White-Subway/2056.aspx. It's worth it to browse around the site too!
Annie Thornton This is all an estimate, but assuming that the shower is a little over 10 tiles across (with each tile being 6" long), then I would say that it is 5' across. I would also assume that it is square, so it is probably 5' across on both sides. It is hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the shower is 33 tiles tall. With each tile being 3" tall, then I would assume that the shower is about 8'3" tall.
While it doesn't exactly fall into the quick-fixes category, a contrasting tile border does make a splash. This could have been just another white subway-tile bathroom, but the outline around the shower and the border on the floor give the room dimension and polish.
