How did you do the baseboards? I've seen this once before in one of the Alexander hotels and I think it looks perfect.

The baseboards are painted wood. the face of the base is flush with the face of the drywall. a 3/8" x 3/8" reveal separates the two. There is no shoe. The construction is more complicated than a conventional applied base, but the result is cleaner and more elegant.

Dear Vinci. We are currently doing the same glass look to our bathroom in a condo. Can you please share who did the glass for you? AND what did you put under the tile work in the shower? Did you just use the strong grout that sits below the tile OR a plastic underlayment? Thank you.
