I still need to add baseboards etc., but here's a first look at the bathroom floor. I created my own tile printie using a picture of a 9-tile sample that I found online. I resized the tiles to be 1/2'' square (the equivalent of 1' in real life) and rotated and randomized them as I expanded the design so it wouldn't look like I'd just cloned the nine original tiles over and over.

For the door, I used the trim that came with the kit and added a door jamb to transition between the hardwoods and tile. I'm planning to install a door at some point (not sure yet if it'll be hinged or just propped inside in a half-open position).

Painting the inside edges of the door was tough and I'm not quite happy with the result. I could apply wood filler to smooth it out and paint again, but since it's such a tight space and I don't want to get paint on the walls or floor, I'll probably just line the inside edges with thin strip wood instead.
