a hole in the wall

literally.

The plastic-y shimmer is due to the shower curtain cut, taped and tacked around the hole to prevent water from pouring down into the walls, through the floor and into the kitchen. Classy, no? It's been like this for over a week now!

But look at that shiny new PVC that ACTUALLY FITS IN THE DAMN WALL! oooh, like magic I tell you.

(just a reminder of what it was before...)

Oh yeah. Loads better. Plus now we get to learn how to tile!

And by we, I mean me.

Holy cow! I can't believe somebody actually just decorated around that cast iron drain pipe sticking out of the wall.

The least they could have done to properly finish it off is paint a flame on the wall above it. Did kinda look like the Olympic torch.

But your solution will look much better. :)

oh my god, why did we not think of the flame?! That's awesome. How cool would that have looked?

sadly, it's now drywalled up and mudded. we missed our chance!

You could've left it as it and REALLY challenged yourself by having to rig up some curved tile...



See the bottom right columns!

Now you just made it too easy on yourself...LOL!
