Master Bath tile choices
I am thinking the basketweave for the floor, gray subway for shower walls and pebbles for shower floor in my 10 x 10 bathroom. Do you like this combo? Are pebbles on the shower floor too dated?

Master Bath Finish Choices; KISS?
Comments (35)Thought I'd follow up. I really wanted the floral faded wallpaper-y tile, but it's just wrong for this dumb lil' phone boothy shower. My second choice I found on Houzz. I thought it was ceramic, but it is a glass tile with an "orange peel" surface so it is not shiny like most glass tile, but it is translucent. I liked glass but did not want shiny. You can also request a range of hues, which I like as it is also less modern. It is by Island Stone, and the price I got was $27 a square foot; versus well over $100 sq ft for the hand painted floral tiles. Here she is: [Modern Tile[(https://www.houzz.com/products/modern-tile-prbr1-br~t_1053~s_2105) by Santa Cruz Tile, Stone & Countertops Island Stone a> I am coupling it with large square limestone tiles (the color of sand) and a limestone mosaic for the shower floor. edited to add: I like the fact that the running bond is not offset 50/50 like it usually is. Small detail but I think it looks different. This post was edited by mtnrdredux on Mon, Mar 10, 14 at 12:49...See MoreNeed help with tile choices please (Master bath)
Comments (15)Hahaha tibbrix, I had to google "flash in the pan" and yes I agree the green tile could very well be a fad and in 5-10 years it may scream old or dated BUT I do like it ... I tried picking a glass tile that wasn't too bright or bold/mix in colors hoping it would be more subtle and stay in style for a while ... I can't predict the future but I do know I have a good chance of getting a better look by replacing what I already have. I appreciate the suggestions. I love the wood floors but I just installed 900 sq ft of solid wood in the house and I wouldn't want to mix hardwood types in my home, and what I have now isn't made for bathrooms. Did I mention I'm in a cookie cutter neighborhood, so nothing too fancy here. :) Sochi I have looked at your bathroom hundreds of times. It's my favorite! I hope you're ok with me using the pic, otherwise I can delete it. I looked up your tile but they don't show a store in MO and I'm thinking its over my budget :) a girl can dream though I need a little more help everyone, I've narrowed down the vanity countertop to two choices - both hanstone, the more speckled one is swan cotton and the other is aurora snow. My dream countertop was alway swan cotton but the more I look at it it's almost too much speckle... What are your thoughts?...See MoreMaster bath faucets, shower fixtures--help me narrow down choices.
Comments (9)Thank-you for the info! Spent an hour and half at a plumbing supply showroom yesterday! Won't know until room is gutted what the current drain lines look like and if it will be easy (and not expensive) to move the toilet. Everything hinges on the toilet! haha. Picked out items that I liked but didn't order anything yet. Like the Kohler Artifacts line and the faucet is similar to your Moen's @crl. Will probably go with that line's shower head and hand held, Memoirs Stately toilet. Think it all keeps within the traditional style of the room and house and still clean lined. (liked the Grohe lines, too, but thought the Kohler Artifacts line was a better match for the room). Even picked out a drain cover--who knew there were so many choices! And no tub. In fact taking out the tub. Rarely used, gives us much more room to play with and we have two other tubs in the house....See MoreNeed help with wood stain choices in master bath...
Comments (2)I can do a dry wall return and plan to have the tile wrap to the window. The window is in its own little cove, so there is also a 6" deep ledge which I'm going to do with the quartzite (like the counters). Forgot to mention that I'm planning to do wood plantation shutters as well rather than blinds or curtains, and am thinking that white shutters on white trim is my only real option here...partly because the door to the bath is indeed framed in oak, and the window is straight ahead of the door so you would definitely see both stains at once if I trimmed the window with the dark cherry stain. The other thing is that the white will keep it bright, as the outside light is limited since faces north and large shade trees just outside....See More

4 years agoThanks for your insight localeater. The house is a gray wooden saltbox colonial. But my things are more a touch shabby chic with a bit less clutter and clean lines and a bit farmhouse. Colors are the grays and blues. I wanted the bath to be timeless but current. I do like a spa look. I felt that it was boring to do the same basketweave on the shower floor. You gave me more to think about. We will also have a white simple flat wainscoting around the lower2/3rds of the walls with this vanity. Any other suggestions you may have would be appreciated.

4 years agoThat's a very pretty vanity, I think your bathroom is going to be lovely.
I think the basketweave or the hex will make a lovely floor.
If you do the basketweave(which I assume is porcelain tile) I would do the shower floor with the same tile. If you feel that is not 'interesting' enough, you can add interest in the shower by varying the subway tile layout. Run a course of subway alone the bottom, then do subway in herringbone for about 3 feet, then do a row of soldier course, then do running bond to the ceiling. This can be done in differnt shapes too if they are available in the same tile line. This is a classic tile shower look. I love this with square tile included in the mix. Not finding great images right now to illustrate, but hopefully these will help you get the idea
Or, you could do the hex on the bathroom floor. The shower floor could also be hex, or it could be the pebble. Have you ever showered on rounded pebbles? SOme people really hate them. Also, you have to have a meticulous tile setter or you can get water pooling in between the pebbles.
