printHere I am in the guest shower Sean built from scratch. (The link can be followed from the “Mercer Images” page.)
My choice of tiles was inspired by the ancient city of Caesarea in Israel, adjacent to the small village in which I grew up. Caesarea is a Roman city. It was built by Herod. Dusty blues, faded golds, luminescent whites—these are all colors one can find in the mosaics and marbles of this magnificent place.
You can read more about my inspiration here, and here. Or search the Internet for better visuals. The modern development is sheer luxury.

This is Sean’s first tiling job (he thinks it’s his last, but I have news for him). It’s immaculate. (Is there anything this guy can’t achieve?!)
Have a Happy New Year.
Update #I: Due to the interest generated, here’s a wider angle on Sean’s handiwork.
