From Studio to Shower: Behind the Scenes of a Custom Mosaic – Pt. 3

We’ve sketched, tiled, glued, cut, and packed. Now, in the final chapter of our mosaic journey, it’s time to unwrap the magic.

Let’s recap. We started with a hand-drawn vision and ended Part 2 with a carefully packed, custom mosaic ready to ship. Now we’re walking you through what happens after the mosaic leaves our studio and heads off to its forever home.

Unboxing the Mosaic

Every mosaic we ship is more than just a box of tiles – it’s a full experience. When your order arrives, here’s what you can expect to find inside:

1. Installation Instructions
   Easy-to-follow guidelines to walk you through the process.
2. Your Grouting Diagram
   This is customized for your order and highlights any tiles with unglazed areas that are meant to be filled with grout. It’s just a little extra info to make sure everything looks and functions as intended!
3. A Little Gift Offer
   We’d love to see your finished project! Snap a few high-quality pics and we’ll send you a small “thank you” gift in return. The photos of your space might just inspire the next mosaic dreamer.
4. The Install Diagram (a.k.a. The Holy Grail)
   This is the most important part of your package. It’s the road map that shows how each labeled piece fits together; kind of like your personal mosaic GPS.

Before you get started, we always recommend unpacking everything and doing a dry lay. It’ll help you get a sense of how all the pieces fit together and make installation go more smoothly.

Need help? We’ve got you covered. Head to our installation page or check out our YouTube channel for helpful videos and tips.

The Final Result

This particular project began with a client’s dream of an artsy, beachy bathroom – and with thoughtful planning, great communication, and a trusted tile installer, the end result is something truly special.

It’s colorful, textured, and full of personality. Most importantly, it reflects the client’s vision and brings a bit of that ocean vibe right into their home!

Why We Do What We Do

Each project we create supports more than just beautiful design. A portion of every sale is donated to both local and national animal rescue groups – something we care deeply about here at Wet Dog Tile. Creating lasting art for your space while giving back? That’s our kind of win-win.
