Downstairs Bathroom

Originally, the only access to the downstairs bathroom was through the kitchen.  Ahem.  Not ideal for several obvious reasons.  We sealed up that entrance and Andrew put in two pocket doors.  One in the back hallway and the other off of one of the bedrooms. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These doors are original doors from other parts of the house which we are reusing! 
 
The tile work is also now finished.  Here is a sneak peak inside before it was painted and grouted.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We went with classic subway tile and a very light shade of grout.  The paint color is a medium to dark grey, but we're not exactly happy with it, so Andrew is going to repaint.  I'll post when we've nailed the color.  Here are some photos we found that helped us opt for gray:

Now, I know you are dying to hear about our plans for water conservation and our dual flush toilets, but I am out of time for now, so more on this room later.
