As we've been reno'ing and/or painting rooms in our house, we've been using BM Aura paint in the matte finish, exclusively. When we did our guest bathroom, they hadn't yet come out with the bath and spa version of the Aura paint, so we just used regular Aura matte. Normally, the shower in that bathroom is only used for a week at a time, once or twice a year at most. We did use that bathroom/shower while reno'ing our other two bathrooms for a period of 5 months or so. Paint held up well. We did use the bath and spa paint for the other two bathrooms. I don't know if it was "necessary" to use it, but it gave us some added "peace of mind" with regards to the longevity of the paint finish. Being tempted to change the color--no cure for that! LOL PS install a good vent fan, too. That is key to removing the moisture that causes the peeling.

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.

I don't know if it's a cop out, but I don't think it will be as pretty as your original idea. If being done is more important at this point though (which I understand) and you tend to be the sort of person who doesn't dwell on regrets, then I think the other tiles will be fine. I'm not a fan of the dark tile tub surrounds personally... They don't look bad, but I think matching the white tile you're planing to do on your shower walls and tub "back splash" would look cleaner and give more of the spa vibe in your first inspiration picture (the one with the green tile floor). I like the idea of keeping your wood cabinets and maybe staining them to a shade you prefer, but painting them would look nice too.

OK. I had it narrowed down to two ways. ONE mural wall facing the hallway . shown below and paint the rest of the walls and vanity a gray color, OR a color to match the mural .. maybe even deep a rose colored.vanity. 3 of four walls gray ?? . TWO --------how do you all feel if I used an Ellie Cashman floral paper BUT only 3/4 way down the walls on THREE walls . instead of fully covering all four walls ? I would do the paper From the Ceiling TO the top of vanity splash guard . Paint the rest of the wall black from the vanity down except also paint the one wall with the toilet , all black. chair rail to separate the paper and paint (?) Frame a piece of the wallpaper for above the toilet in a nice frame with a thick Matt board to give the wall something . . Paint vanity black or cream/white (?)depending on the wallpaper choice light or dark ... ... . . I can manage for three walls ( 3/4 way down the ceiling from ceiling ) but 4 walls all the way from ceiling to floor is just something I cant do at this point in my decorating spree. below are my picks. https://www.elliecashmandesign.com/us/floral-wallpaper/summer-squal-daylight-white-wallpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/BkkBdAaghEl/?utm_source=ig_embed https://www.elliecashmandesign.com/floral-wallpaper/dark-floral-ii-black-desaturated-vinyl-wallcovering https://www.elliecashmandesign.com/floral-wallpaper/dark-floral-ii-light-vinyl-wallcoveringAGAIN, Her largest flowers are around 16" . all suggestions are welcomed.
