I have Ben Moore Regal Matte throughout the house, including the bathroom. DS loves steamy showers and I have not had a problem since we moved in Sept 2007. It is perhaps a little harder to clean toothpaste off the walls than a glossier finish, but as someone said, it hides imperfections better. I have found that it isn't so great behind the range with greasy or tomato or jam splatters (I can a lot). If you like your current paint and find that it wears well in a steamy/messy place like a kitchen, or you don't expect to have to clean the bathroom walls much (no kids or a DH with an electric toothbrush splattering toothpaste) then I say go for the same paint gloss level in the bathroom. Definitely go flat for the ceiling, but add a mildewcide to the ceiling *and* the wall paint.

So here's the bathroom. We're working mostly with the layout we had, however the bathtub room entrance used to literally be in the bedroom with no separate door to the bathroom, so we've closed that off and made a new opening near the shower entrance, and rotated the tub around to face the rest of the bathroom. I've included pics of the crazy bathtub room and its ceiling, as well as the view from the shower, and the area where the vanity will go. My arched windows already had cut frames (shame, I know), so we're doing a windowsill, and I'd like to see some painted wall between them and the tub backsplash (since the tub isn't centered with the windows, I want them to fade into the wall). I hope this all makes sense. Still wondering. Do I do the shower in all mosaic one inch? Or just floor and ceiling with more 16' on the walls? Do I use mosaic on the tub backspash (I also fear this might draw attention to my un-centered windows. My designer friend says as long as I put a great piece of art or mirror on the focal wall, it'll work). I hope this all makes sense! it's a weird but magnificent room. Oh one more thing. We're returning a beautiful leaded glass window to the wall on the tub room that faces the closet doors AND the wall separating shower from tub room. It WILL BE properly encased in tempered glass for the shower. Note the vanity area is much wider than it looks - the ceilings are rather high.

This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage.

Hi II donÂt know how to post a picture, but I will try to explain the layout I was thinking would work better 1st I would not put a pocket door, I think a regular door will be perfect , and the toilet should be just behind it, so when you open the door, it will block the toilet 2nd if from what I see the door is on lower left side of the picture, I would move the toilet to the lower left side corner, just across of it, or on your right side where you enter the bathroom I would install the sink, and the bath tub will be across the top of the picture where it look like there is window right now , I would also either center the window or install a similar window to his right to be even (top picture) The are some other ideaÂs, but the all will include a regular opening door. The tiles you select are maintained free, the do look like glazed tile, so there is no sealer needed for it, or any special care beside regular cleaning (grout will be need to seal) Wood ceiling - well you can have it as long you got good ventilation, if you seal it good and protect it from moisture you should be ok, myself I wouldnÂt have it in my bathroom in any case Sorry for the long comment :) Good luck
