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 green bathroom tile
Comments (6)amysrq- great idea for black and white, but we have that theme going on in the vintage bath that is in my oldests new room (back in the day it was the maids room) so she is in the room over the garage with her own bath which has black tile half way up the wall with black and white tile floor. I did see a pic in a magazine with BIG black and white paisley wallpaper accented with hot pink towel and decor with a white shower curtain that was monogramed in black. no green- nice idea never thought of that either for the bath, funny i had a color combo like that in a guest room, moss green walls and navy blue toile spread and plates on the walls with blue accents. Ive got to check the navy with this particular green in this bath...See MoreVintage bathroom tile
Comments (46)If the accent tiles had been painted in place, the artist would probably have gotten paint on the grout. I don't see any. So although I don't know for sure, I'd guess that those are actual production accent tiles from the 1970s or so, maybe even into the 1980s. That kind of whimsical art was popular back then, kind of like psychedelic motifs were in the 1960s. The flowered tiles look like they were supposed to be used with more tiles below them. The other tiles would have had stems and leaves to complete the flower image. Similarly, maybe the "squiggle" tiles were designed to form a border of sorts when used with similar or identical tiles to the left and right. This is admittedly speculation, as I don't recall ever seeing those particular tiles in anyone else's home. Someday, a future generation will be posting to ask how they can tear out and replace the "dated" design features that are popular in houses today. :)...See MoreVintage Blue Bathroom Upcycle
Comments (8)Remove the vanity, light fixture, towel bars/mirrors, and extraneous storage piece. Install fresh modern wallpaper that works with the green tile, so it feels intentional. Add a “large as possible” white vanity…you have the room. Move the plant on toilet to another room. Install a hotel towel rack above the toilet. Leave the window unadorned or hang a simple cafe curtain on bottom half if privacy is not an issue, otherwise install a cordless Roman shade. Clean and replace tub caulking. New fabric shower curtain/liner. New fixtures in either brushed nickel or satin brass. If possible, either paint the HVAC register the same shade of green or match it to the fixtures....See MoreNicholle Taylor
