My $.02: I don't think picture-frame wainscoting is stylistically appropriate or practical for a bathroom. Also, painted MDF could seem cheap, especially in a home with solid wood wainscoting in other rooms, and I'm not sure how it would hold up it in a room/climate that is subject to mold. While I like true beadboard in vintage baths, it's often used just because it's trendy, fast, and cheap (if you use any of the various imitation beadboard products). Beadboard would look good with your Memoirs toilet and pedestal sink, but may seem too cottage-y for the rest of your house. My first preference would be for tile wainscoting, which need not be expensive in a small space if you shop around and do the tiling yourself. Are you really sure you can't use it? Unless the seasonal movement is really extreme (in which case you must have problems with all of your walls and wainscoting), you should be able to use tile as long as you have the proper surface, use small tiles, and flexible grout. (I'm no expert, but that's what I've been told.) Another option would be to simply install a chair rail around the perimeter of the room. You could then use different colors for the upper and lower walls, or paint the lower wall and use wallpaper or stenciling on the upper part (although extreme house movement could sabotage wallpaper).

No pictures but I can tell you about mine. I have a sofa table with photos all in the same frames in varying sizes. All are B/W or sepia; all are light-hearted photos of family members that are fun to look at and they date from early 1900's, WWII, mid century to current. I have another group of pictures on shelves that are just "sisters" -- me and mine, mom and hers, grandmothers and their sisters, etc.(as well as a couple of nuns), ranging from 1800's through current. I'm working on another group with the men in the family and one with just wedding photos of family members. I like to use a theme and a commonality in the frames and photos.

Hi - I remember there is a very pretty half bath in this thread, you may have to scroll down a bit Here is a link that might be useful: 3 dogs bathroom picture

Absolutely love the art, but not in that bathroom. Does not go with the mirror. Does not go with the floor. Is a bit too large for that space between shower and vanity. Does not go with the quiet calm aesthetic of the bathroom which I like a great deal. Sometimes in my house, the bathroom is the only place to get some peace! That art is wonderful; place it somewhere else in your home that will highlight it, and that will fit better with its dynamic explosion-of-color aesthetic. I actually do not think you need any art at all in that space between shower and mirror. In my house, that china jar on the left side of the sink would be smashed on the floor in no time with that precarious placement. Belongs on a shelf somewhere out of harm's way.
