I absolutely LOVE the tile--and am so jealous about the bidet. Very nice, very nice.

Very nice -- where is this? Bidets are so rare here in the US.

I'm not totally loving this bathroom, but I do agree it looks SUPER nice. Clean lines, and nice colors. Of course, I've seen more and more bidets and am now wanting to run to Lowes to get one to put in here :)

Nice job coordinating the tile with the cabinets.

Are the tiles glass or ceramic?

This is in New York? This looks like my Berlin bathroom from the color scheme to the bidet to the wonderful adjustable handshower. excellent. practical. clean.

Great way to create a shower! And it's official... a bidet will be in the bathroom when I buy my own place.

Hi there,

Here are the answers that address your questions:

- I live in Toronto and not Berlin, although I've been there and totally loved the city.

- The tiles are ceramic as far as I can remember. They were bought at Olympia Tile in Toronto.

- A bidet is truly a must in the bathroom. It's uncommon for most people but it's really convenient and useful from the hygienic point of view.

- We just bought the cheapest bidet since the wiring was there after renovation. The bathroom was dark and old-fashioned. My goal was to create as much spaciousness through the use of light colours since the bathroom is pretty small. I also wanted to create space that would serve as a source of 'rejuvenation' and inspiration in the morning. The idea of having the same tiles on the floor and on the walls probably wasn't that great of an idea since the seams on the floor get easily dirty and become slightly yellow, especially by the sink.

Thanks,
Andrew
