backsplash for above bathroom sink? need advice...
Comments (1)I think it's going to be a challenge to make it look like a feature rather than a patch. I'd suggest being much bolder than a white on white design. Perhaps use something that ties in the beige with some other color(s) you want to bring into the room as an accent. I'm giving a link to a site with some beautiful glass mosaics to inspire you. You can also play with their custom blend builder to see what color combinations you like. For example, on the "Subway 1x3 inch blends" page, check out Amazon and Urban Camo 10. On the Bijou 2 Inch glass page, I love the Retro Turquoise with Caramel, and also the Urban Mix 10. If he has to rip out the bullnose above those 12 tiles, that's going to be even more of a challenge. For one thing, the bullnose is offset from the field tile, so I don't know how he's going to do it cleanly above the tile to the left of the toothbrush holder. And you'll need to rely on his skill to not damage the tiles on the perpendicular wall. Also, it looks like you'll need a radius bullnose, and not all tile lines include that shape. You could ask him to suggest specific lines of tile that would work for that bullnose, and see if any of them please you. Bill V. can chime in here, but I *think* it's the shape that American Olean calls A4200. You can see it in their "Matte" line and their "Bright" line. Hope this helps....

Comments (1)Look thru the pages linked below for lots of ideas. I've done a bath with tile wrapping around the room and trim finishing off the top about 6" above the counter top. I don't think I'd do a borderline of tile by itself around the room. Having a backsplash behind the vanity will work just as well as doing the whole room. It all depends on the look you're going for, time and money. If you end up with any gaps between the vanity and the backsplash you can glue some matching decorative 1/2-round tile at the junction.

Comments (0)I just had my shower/bath area in the primary bathroom retiled. The tilesetter put up the tile probably Wednesday. He grouted it the next day. It has not been sealed yet. It's quite obvious that the thinset has not dried behind the tile - especially obvious where the accent mosaic has been placed. Some of it had dried by the next day but you can see where it has not dried - the white marble looks gray. It is now Monday the following week and this is how it looks. Since it has already been grouted, I am wondering if this will ever dry. The floor area looks a little odd also and I am wondering what's up with that. There are also two tiles on the edge of the window by the bath where he sanded the edges. I don't understand why that was done - it seems to me that it would open up the marble to moisture. The tilesetter also put up cracked marble mosaic tile in my kitchen backsplash. Since the marble has little veins, it is very hard to tell it's cracked. It's been filled with grout and sealed. Am I going to have any staining problems from it being cracked? Should I have him replace those tiles? Any input would be appreciated....See MoreWhich backsplash for bathroom sink?
Comments (30)cute bathroom. love the tile. ( let me show you some pictures and how to make that room look better) While I like the idea of that tile, I just don't think doing a small bit of it behind the sink would look the best. They have this pic on Retro Renovation that;s similar to your idea, but it looks better because it's also used as the sink surround. Art deco bathrooms or the 50's baths w/those tiles, were usually done completely around the wall. https://retrorenovation.com/2014/04/01/black-white-tile-bathroom-1930s/ If you wanted to do that tile, I might choose to do that entire wall. You could do a tile wainscot w/the black edging tile (like shown here) at the top. You could do a white or black tile. they're pretty inexpensive. Or, do the whole wall surround like this. (and make sure to do the window trim like this one too) The other option for the wainscot would be a beadboard or a board and batten. leaving the walls plain and void like you have it, doesn't really match the style of the tile. if you can't tile the walls, do the wainscot and the trim around the window: or a board and batten,,,,green above. Beadboard wainscot and ceiling, soft sage walls. either of these would really bring your tile together w/the vanity and accessories. vertical nickel gap panel. do the walls in green if you like. Did you know you could do a stained glass overlay on your windows? I did it with mine. Otherwise, you're just going to get this look: plain walls. which option do you think looks better? another option, do the walls white and paint the trim work a soft green to coordinate w/the tiles But I'd still do the wainscot...See MoreUpScapers - Authorized Vistafolia Partner
