It might not even look awesome after you mop. I physically shuddered when I looked at that inspiration floor. I'm betting the only time that floor looked like that was for that photo. Grease and food stains in a kitchen are one thing, but in a bathroom - well, you want to hope that's hair product or water, but... If this was a powder room that was used only occasionally, maybe, but teenagers? You are a brave woman. Otoh, you COULD use it as a disciplinary tool - listen to me, or else I'll make you clean all the spots off of your bathroom floor.... Could you pick up a couple of sheets of the tile and "dirty" them up a little? See how much it bothers you?

Here are a few pictures of a bathroom i remodeled for a client with ming green. Let me know if you have any questions Evan Daniels www.DanielsRemodeling.Build

Wow -- thank you for the feedback! It's helpful to hear al sides of the story. Caligirl's photo (first one of the second group, all white with the black daisy) is the one I actually sent to my contractor awhile back to show him what I wanted. From what I have read, it seems that hex tile was fairly common for counters during the 20s (if you actually had counters), while natural stone was not as common as people think (too costly to get big slabs, which is why people had small marble pastry slabs on baking tables), and actually wood and linoleum would have been pretty common, too. I found a lot of pictures of hex tile kitchen counters, too. The first is one of my favorites: My built-in cabinets are original to the house, and I love them. The countertop on those was originally wood (although it currently has circa 1980s beige tile over it, which will be going at some point). My guess is that trends for built-ins vs. freestanding cabinets varied regionally because there are a lot of kitchens around here with cabinets very similar to mine (in fact, I salvaged the ones I will be using in my renovation from a friend who actually ripped hers out! I tried to talk her out of it.) Here are my original cabinets: And here is the counter space in between the sink and stove on the opposite wall that will house the new (hex?) tile. It is only a few square feet, so I think the scale of tile will be important. Because I have so little of it, this counter gets a lot of use and gets a lot of hot pans from the oven put on it.

hello Jillianfl. Top photo is the one I used to remodle my last bathroom. I loved it and got lots of compliments on it. I'm now renovating a new home, and I have the same concerns about the shower flooring. Did you end up getting some advice? What did you end up going with? Thanks in advance!
