White Subway Tile / White Hex
Comments (10)Wow - thank you so much for your helpful responses! I just love this website :-) I've decided to go with the white hex and the Laticrete Silver Shadow grout - I looked online and saw several pictures and I really like it! (is it darker or lighter than the Mapei Warm Gray Bill V? I think they are very close according to this website - http://www.grout-aide.com/colors2.html) I actually really like the black/white example Bill V shared as it doesn't over-do the black flowers but after a bit more thought, I think that the all white hex will give us more options if we decide to change the paint later or the next homeowner has all boys :-) I'll have to save my idea of having black honed granite for our kitchen remodel next summer! * Side note, this will just be the girls' bathroom - we are currently adding a master upstairs as well and a powder downstairs for guests - you will certainly be seeing many more questions from me as we get closer to making final decisions in both of those spaces as well ;) Thanks for all the responses re: grout not matching between the two spaces. Bill V, I'm definitely giving consideration to both being the same as you suggest but going to leave that up to my husband to decide. I saw a picture on this forum that has the grout you suggested as their surround and it looks lovely with the chrome!!! alku05, yes, please share pictures! Does your granite have the garnet speckles? I read online that some of these slabs do and some don't - obviously with any of the paint options I'm looking at the red garnet speckles won't work ;) I also read that this slab resembles marble but without as much worry about staining - certainly something I'm going to look more into! - On that note, do you think the space will look balanced if I picked a granite like this one (with grey and/or white tones) if we go with all white and just the lighter grey grout? Thanks to all who responded - if there are any other suggestions or pictures you could share with me, I'm all ears and of course appreciate all the help!...See MoreHelp with flooring and white subway tile
Comments (12)I am in the middle of a similar remodel. Walls and shower are Daltile white subway tile. Vanity is espresso with calcutta top. Walls are BM gray wisp which is the BM equivalent to RH silver sage (gray, green, blue) Tub is Bain ultra basa duo. Toilet is Toto ultramax all in white. Accents are brushed nickel. My floors will be a limestone called mystic green, also called pistachio green. Really not green at all but beigy with a hue (just a hint) of green. It is the limestone with the fossils in it and my kids and I and DH just love how interesting it is, especially with all the white! I'll post pictures next week when it is finished....See MoreHelp!

Comments (3)I think if you're after a beachy feel then Ice Mist will be too cold in feel. Okay wait, keep in mind I'm saying this based on my own experience -- I have no idea how the lighting is in your home. But, Dove White does have a certain warmth to it without venturing into the creamy category, and TO ME, that warmth reads as more "beachy" than Ice Mist. I can't speak to the Daltile because I'm not familiar with it, but anything with the word "arctic" in it means, to me, a blue undertone. Again, I'm afraid that's not going to give you the "beachy" feel -- maybe a more polar feel. Brrr. I happen to like an icy environment myself! That's why I have those cold colors in my own kitchen, but that's what I was after....See MorePlease help identify this Grout Color for White Subway Tile Backsplash
