Shower accent tile for vintage-inspired bathroom?
Comments (8)I realize that monochromatic bathrooms are popular these days, but I personally prefer the more colorful ones. This bathroom has been ripped down to the studs and it was interesting to see the more colorful elements from the past. The top layer - from the 1980s I guess - was the blandest. The room is pretty small, and will have lots of white, including a radiator. Golddust - I'm using Armstrong's Linorette, not sure of the color, but am leaning towards this blue: What color are you using? I may ask over at the Home Dec forum Does anyone have a source for colorful 4x4 aceent tile?...See Morevintage green bathroom tile
Comments (6)amysrq- great idea for black and white, but we have that theme going on in the vintage bath that is in my oldests new room (back in the day it was the maids room) so she is in the room over the garage with her own bath which has black tile half way up the wall with black and white tile floor. I did see a pic in a magazine with BIG black and white paisley wallpaper accented with hot pink towel and decor with a white shower curtain that was monogramed in black. no green- nice idea never thought of that either for the bath, funny i had a color combo like that in a guest room, moss green walls and navy blue toile spread and plates on the walls with blue accents. Ive got to check the navy with this particular green in this bath...See MoreBathroom tile choices, vintage
Comments (11)Penny-tile could get very busy in a larger bath. And too much grout to clean! A simple, grid-laid floor of the right solid-color tile would be appropriate for your home -- no need to lay basket-weave or herringbone or any other pattern. Possibly 4x4s or 6x6s on the floor, with matching rectangular tile in a running-bond pattern for the wainscot. We used Seneca Tiled handmold series for our powder room and will probably use it again for another bath remodel. It's a simple, but very rich look, very much like the local art-pottery tiles from the turn of the century, with lots of variation in the surface and glaze -- definitely not mass-produced. Good trim pieces, too. And the tile is nice and thick, for good durability. Pewabic is also still in business, making reproduction tile. Our 1927 former home had Pewabic in all the main baths, all simple 3x3 or 4x4 squares in a grid pattern. There were some impressed accent tiles, but they were used sparingly. I'm sure there are other small potteries out there with their own lines of reproduction tiles. Here is a link that might be useful: Seneca site -- look at the handmold tile...See MoreVintage-y vs period correct?
Comments (27)Okay. What series has all these pieces? Slider bar that is rated as a grab bar--so far all I have found are jaclo and delta. The delta has a bad review from someone on the bathrooms forum for the chrome finish turning brown in under a year, so I pictured a jaclo above because mine in my master bathroom is nearly two years old and in perfect condition. Train rack--I haven't found either a delta or a jaclo. I pictured the gatco above. Toilet paper holder that rated as a grab bar--none from jaclo or gatco. I pictured a delta above. Moen seems to the the main other choice and it is fairly modern in appearance. Towel ring-- pretty much everyone makes these. I pictured a gatco above because it will physically be closest to the train rack. So, what am I missing? Which line has all of these pieces?...See Moremtnrdredux_gw
