Bathroom Progress II

We finished the tile off by spreading a bright white grout into the tile joints, caulking the edges around the tub and sealing the grout so we don't get stains. Check it out:

We're going to face them 3/4", solid, vertical, carmelized bamboo (ordered through Living Green in Culver City - they're very helpful there!). We got almost all of the pieces cut out this weekend and built the boxes that will become the drawers:
