Evidence of anal-retentiveness taken to the nth degree


Powder room, originally uploaded by Clean_Freak.

We are using a tile called "cubika" that has a really interesting pattern of little white blocks that catch the light in fun ways. They are large format tiles and I asked that they appear completely seamless so the grout joints are minuscule. If you look very closely there is really only one seam that pops out at you. And of course it's the one where the wall-mounted faucet is. :-( If the funky seam had been one tile up it would have fallen behind the mirror but nooooo. It just had to be where the faucet is going to be.

Now it's possible that once everything else is in I'll never notice the seam. But right now it's all I can see. Flaws are all I can see right now and it's doing no favors to my mental health.
