Sage Green Bathroom Tile Remodel in East Dundee
About This Project
This East Dundee bathroom was updated with sage green 4x4 square ceramic wall tile running from the floor to a painted transition height, with clean white walls above. The walk-in shower enclosure continues the tile into the shower surround, creating a cohesive look without tiling the full ceiling height in the main room. The wood vanity and large frameless mirror were already in place at the start of the tile work.
The tile height transition required a clean horizontal cut across all four walls at the same level. We snapped a level chalk line around the room and used a wet saw for all horizontal cuts to keep the edge clean. In the shower, the tile runs floor to ceiling on all three walls with the liquid-applied waterproofing membrane extending six inches above the showerhead height.
What We Did
Applied waterproofing to shower walls; cement board to all tile surfaces
Established horizontal reference line for consistent tile height across all walls
Set 4x4 ceramic in grid pattern; kept joint lines aligned through door transitions
Grouted in white; caulked all inside corners and floor perimeter
