how do you decide on tile for all those bathrooms?!
Comments (14)jaymielo- I don't know if I did things 'backwards' by most standards, but it worked for me! I picked out my tile before anything else in the bathrooms. I did a lot of magazine clipping for inspiration. I found my cache of clippings the other day and was surprised to see how closely I ended up following their general themes after all. Although I didn't have specific colors picked out for each bathroom, I did have a general FEEL of what I wanted. For instance, in my boys bath, I knew the design needed to be more masculine, what an adult would feel comfortable with (since they won't be little for long!), and also something that would work if a girl ever entered the family picture and used one of the bedrooms sharing that bath. Honestly, I didn't even think about the countertop at this point, since I knew that it would be easier to pick that out after figuring out the tile. We ended up doing the copper slate bath up there: For our master bath, I had found a pic of one that had a creamy yellow with darker wood in it. Then we went on a trip to Santa Fe and stayed in a B&B that had the most awesome travertine shower in it. DH and I knew immediately that we wanted to find a similar tile for our master bath. We also had known for a few years that we wanted to do a pebble floor in there. Adding all those ideas together, we came up with this: I guess my best suggestions would be to 1)Get your magazine/photo clips out and decide what it is you like about them in particular. 2)Decide of the main function of a particular bath--kids, light or heavy traffic, guests, etc. 3)If you want individuality, do each bath one at a time so that you don't overwhelm yourself. Keep in mind that even though they will all be different, if they fit the general color schemes of your house, there will still be a 'flow' throughout. 4)If you want even more cohesiveness, pick a general tile and mix the accent pieces/countertops to individualize each bath. 5) Remember that you can always change the paint color, but it's MUCH harder and more costly to change tile! I'm sure whatever you do will turn out great. It's just the process that can sometimes be overwhelming!...See MoreHow do I decide on bathroom tiles?
Comments (5)I thought I had this all figured out and then I see something I like better. So hard to decide. I have three combinations that are grey, white/cream that I am considering: #1. Marble 3" hexagon floors with a slightly larger 4 x 8 white subway tile for the shower and marble or quartz counter-top combination. So pretty and classic looking. Like the last picture from Firsthouse_mps work #2. Large format light grey 12 X 24 floor tiles that also goes into the shower or tub surround. Marble or quartz counter-top combination. #3. Large square porcelain (marble look 18x18 tiles from Mission Stone & Tile. $4.35 sq. ft. ) Tiles on the diagonal with the subway tile in the shower and Marble or quartz counter-top combination.

Comments (13)Thank you all. I like the suggestion of white tile w/ charcoal grout. Will look for that. In our 20yrs of marriage we've never had more than 1 3/4 bathrooms and have somehow always managed fine, even with a houseful of girls(and 2 boys). However, we are all very excited about having 4 bathrooms in the new house. The girls bathroom will have tub, shower, toilet, and large linen cabinet in one room and an extra long double sink vanity with lots of countertop and drawer space in an adjoining room. They ought to have plenty of room to primp, although so far all the teens are fairly minimalist in that area. Total opposite of how I was at that age. Hee hee. Anyway, thanks again for the input.:-)...See MoreMy daughter has decided on bathroom floor finally
Comments (37)I like just plain white or a simple look with no black in it actually. Like this? Just plain and simple and let beauty of the tile do the talking!) Let the vanity and subway tile be all glossy and they hex of the tile will be showy enough. I think she could subway most everything and if she really loves they other she could trim it off and talk to Dad about buttering the tiles. Butter up Dad maybe! LOL! Or they make it colorful in really pretty floral designs! That would really be nice but you's probably have to stick to a subway tile. I shall go hide from your husband now, just as I hid from my tilesetter!!!!...See MoreJessica D
