Shower accent tile for vintage-inspired bathroom?
Comments (8)I realize that monochromatic bathrooms are popular these days, but I personally prefer the more colorful ones. This bathroom has been ripped down to the studs and it was interesting to see the more colorful elements from the past. The top layer - from the 1980s I guess - was the blandest. The room is pretty small, and will have lots of white, including a radiator. Golddust - I'm using Armstrong's Linorette, not sure of the color, but am leaning towards this blue: What color are you using? I may ask over at the Home Dec forum Does anyone have a source for colorful 4x4 aceent tile?...See MoreVintage Bathroom, need tile help!
Comments (10)Hi Tinker, Little bathrooms are waaay more challenging than one initially thinks, aren't they? I am a big fan of the asthetic you are going for. You can find lots of inspiration out on the web. I think cocozy has a blog full of photos. That said, it probably all comes down to personal preference. Here's a link to two of my bathroom projects with some inspiration photos... they are mostly glossy, excepting the carrara there is one lovely one in a creamy version with blue trim that is to DIE for... I am in the midst of considering floor to ceiling subway tile in my not quite 7x7 bath. Have fun!

Comments (17)PricklyPear, that Anne Sacks is just lovely! Why is it I love everything they do? Jreuter, great bathroom! But one thing I don't want is a shower door. I want ... believe it or not ... a shower stall with a step up and with a shower curtain. I am so sick of glass shower doors! I wonder if someday we will look back on them and ask why we did so many. I am going for a reverse snobbism look. Shangahi, I love that yellow one! I always love symmetry. Really nice with the tiny tile feels ... "timeless". I like the glass with black muntins, everywhere in a house actually, but not sure it fits. I did once see a MBR where the shower stall had a door on it, which was solid, but covered in mirror and then white muntins. You could do it in black? Jreutre, thanks for the site. For years ive looked a a site with great penny round patterns, but I think it was in AL or AR, this is a new one....See MoreGrey tile floor for vintage look bathroom?
Comments (9)Have you looked at images on Houzz.com? There are so many pictures. You can search for gray floors. Hanging sinks. What ever. What about a nice hybrid of vintage and modern? Not to tire people of my bathroom remodel but I have a picture of my almost finished slate tile floor. Be aware that there are floor stiffness requirements for tile and even stiffer requirements for stone. If You don't have access to improve your joist and subfloor to meet the demands of ceramic or stone, there are some lovely floor coverings that look like stone. My "in progress" slate floor. This is 6x12 Brazilian slate that I cut down from 12x12 tiles (the white tile boards are my wall sample boards, testing grout colors): I've attached a link to a recent bathroom remodel by Barbcollins. She used a vinyl product for her floor and there is a picture of it on the post. I think it is very nice looking. Here is a link that might be useful: Barb,s Budget Bathroom...See MoreJen Osborne
