Hey students!
I remember when I first decided to work exclusively on bathrooms. It was 2008, and my now wife and I had just purchased and renovated our first home together in the Northside of Pittsburgh. After we finished that massive project, I decided to make a career pivot and exclusively work on bathrooms, specifically aiming for the high-end bathrooms.
I was turning 30, and I was still learning a lot about tile work. It was my dream to be able to do something like an arched niche in a bathroom. And now here I am… showing you guys how to do it yourselves!!! Talk about a full circle moment.
I’m telling you this because I’m just a regular guy who had big goals, and I made them happen. I fully believe that you can do that too. What’s even better is that I can help you out and share my knowledge with you.
An arched niche is a beautiful design feature to add to a bathroom that basically has zero architectural interest. I did this for a client last year, and the end result was near perfect.
In this video, I begin with a completely blank slate. Like, a “bare-bones-to-the-studs” slate. The arch is a custom design I made, and I show you my process from the beginning…
…to the design…
…to the tile layout…
…to the installation…
…to the final result.
Be sure to watch the full video, and let me know what you think of this bathroom design element and if you are thinking of doing it yourself.
