Sort of useless if you want the truth all it will hold is a shampoo or body wash bottle it seems too shallow to hold towels which IMO would have been a good idea at least seeif it is possible to add at least one glass shelf

Gee. If you can't say something nice... don't comment.

I like it. My dad was a builder and always put unique features in a home.

I like it too. I think it looks very nice and unique.

nice idea, but wondering what will go there? It's low to the ground,,,shampoo bottles or soap? is there going to be a glass door there too? just wondering how this will be used.

also, sorry to be picky, but the grout could be cleaned up better, especially in those corners. I noticed the shower floor,,,,did you grout between the floor and wall joints? that's a no-no.

Why do people post expecting to be praised for something that really isn't that practical and isn't a good tiling job??????????????

The better question is why do people feel the need to post rude and snide comments about something another person is obviously proud and excited about??????? To feel a false sense of superiority?????? Installing tile is a difficult skill to master, basic punctuation is not. The OP did not ask for opinions on the quality of work, they were just sharing something they accomplished. Which makes comments like above all the more irrelevant and judgemental.

I didn't post expecting any praise. To be honest this was my first post hoping only to inspire others with tiny bathrooms. For the record I did all my own tile work. If it looks that way, that is because I did. Luckily I am the one who has to enjoy the bathroom I have worked so hard on while completely renovating an entire house over the last year. I'm sure this isn't the only thing I've spent time and money on that is not "practical"

We have no way of knowing your bathroom is tiny, and can't fully appreciate your tile work from the tiny picture you posted.

Joseph, since you did this yourself, I'm merely pointing out that grouting between the shower floor and wall is a poor choice. grout is not waterproof. two planes that meet have a tendency to move separately from each other, causing grout to crack and break. What that means is, eventually you'll have excess water getting into those joints and possibly giving you headaches down the road. You need 100% silicone caulking in those joints and the ones on the walls. Did you ask? no. consider it free advice. Good advice.

You can choose to ignore it, and ignore the part about cleaning up the excess grout from all those corners. totally up to you. Peace.

glass shelves are ordered and on the way

With glass shelves, it'll provide some good storage.

Installing tile is a difficult skill to master, basic punctuation is not.

Now that's ironic. Specifically, it's an ironic comma splice.

We have no way of knowing your bathroom is tiny, and can't fully appreciate your tile work from the tiny picture you posted.

Agreed. From this picture alone, it's hard to appreciate how badly this bathroom needs storage.

On the negative side, all that fancy herringbone is going to be covered up by the items being stored in the niche.

Congrats Joseph.

I like the use of the herringbone pattern on the back of the niche and how it ties in with the herringbone on the shower wall and floor.
