Please help me figure out my bathroom floor!
Comments (3)Hello Marcia, Sorry to come so late to this party. I know you said that your husband likes "uniform finishes" but I'd like to suggest a tile which I installed a while back and was very pleased with the results. There is a subtle pinstripe to the tile, but you (and your husband) may find that you like the variation better than a monochrome? It's a rectified porcelain from Walker Zanger called "Groove" and it's available in 7 colors in 18"x18' field and 4"x18" bullnose trim. Here are a couple shots of the project I installed. The color was "Lava", the darkest in the series. This first shot is a close up of the shower pan mosaic I cut down from the 18" field tiles. (The tiles are skewed because I haven't racked them into line yet) This next is a view with the white wall tile for contrast. Just thought it might be worth considering?

Comments (15)You must be in my neighborhood! Seriously, your baths are SO similar to ours in our 1964 house. Here's what we have done: Master bath--was Pepto Bismol pink. We had it reglazed in white and it's holding up well. We had the tiny tile floor ripped up and redone. Upstairs hall bath--was baby boy blue. DH tackled this one (very unusual!) by ripping out the floor and taking down the tile. He installed white beadboard and a new floor. The tub is the same exact style you have, which really is a high quality cast-iron tub. I hate the cliche that they "don't make things like they used to", but in this case, I really think it's true. This tub holds the heat like no other. It's worth saving, either as is, or having it professionally reglazed. First floor half-bath--DH painted the tiles with a latex paint in a beige and we then had the floor redone by a professional. We added another full bath in the basement area and used a one-unit tub/wall combo (not nearly as good at holding heat as the cast iron tub upstairs). We did tile on the walls and floors. Check out professional tile reglazing in your Yellow Pages. It will tide you over until you can tackle a reno. My advise is this: keep the cast iron tubs, but change out the faucets to a "mixer valve", which is fairly inexpensive. Good luck. I did all I could do to live w/ the pink and blue. No matter what I did it screamed "60's"!...See MoreHelp me with my bathroom floor tile color selection.
Comments (16)If you retile the floor, it enables you to increase your Zillow listing value - under the category of last year remodel. Yes, you could leave it and allow the new homeowner to do the work themselves, but with so many wanting "move-in ready" ..... (And....Let's face it, most younger homebuyers were at soccer practice or playing video games, rather than helping with yard work or car/ home repairs. So, they know nothing about "how to" around the house,). New Tile Color-. I'd pick a light/-medium gray tone in the countertop. Black will show lots of dust, White might be hard to match to your cabinet color. Perhaps the one closest to the tub? It hard to tell the color for certain. What at color is the bathroom wall? If white, then paint trim to match gray floor....See Morehelp choosing color scheme to match bathroom tiling in Brooklyn apt
Comments (6)This rug is 24x60, and would act as a runner from your sink all the way down your tub. https://www.wayfair.com/bed-bath/pdp/latitude-run-margrete-bath-rug-w002721259.html?piid=134205774 These towels would coordinate well. https://www.target.com/p/microcotton-spa-bath-towel-fieldcrest/-/A-53168708?preselect=52967913#lnk=sametab...See Morenjmomma
