The Master Designer & The Master Tiler

This is Irene Langlois and Frank. I dont' know Frank's last name. But he's an artist of tile.

Before putting tile on the walls of the master shower, Frank sorted all of the pieces by colour and pattern. Then he laid out an experimental pattern before installing.

What you might not be able to notice due to pic quality is that the pattern goes from busiest at the bottom to plainer at the top of the shower, its a very cool effect when you see it in front of you. The tile is called Arabascata and its a creamy white background with grey, black and sometimes tan veining. There is also a lot of variety in the tile as you can see here.
