Dedtired: Like your handle, that is how I feel after looking again all day at tiles. Not liking basekweave. Brickton: Cool, I actually saw those linen ones today. But after looking today I am thinking of this bricklayed tile mosaic in either Oro Miele or Terra Marrone color Here is the page with the costa rei tiles. I am looking at the brickkayered mosaic.scroll down the page. Honest opinion what do you think of them everyone. Here is a link that might be useful: Tile Page

Okay, so this is how exhausted I am. I am just home from work (almost the last day of school - yay!) and I'm skimming the topics while putting my tired feet up before starting dinner. "Oh", I say to myself, "someone is trying to decide on bathroom tile just like me". It's only when I click on the thread that I realize it is me! I just read somewhere that each tile can weigh as much as 3 pounds. Therefore, shipping is going to be fairly costly too. What if I just do one bathroom with the encaustic (possibly rug style) and do the other bathroom in hardwood? The hardwood is covered under the insurance. Do people put hardwood in a bathroom or is that just asking for trouble? It is site finished oak. If I do use the encaustic, it will definitely be of the neutral variety. The middle pic that tibbrix posted above is my inspiration bathroom and the one that got me searching for the tile. The cement tile shop . com makes one that looks pretty identical. Sorry I haven't replied to each post. I have read them and appreciate all opinions - even those that don't like it. It helps to realize it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Resale is always an issue at some point, but we are going on the assumption that this is our forever house. I'm off to read some designer and contractor emails and answer a ton of their questions. Right now I'm wishing I was little less of a decor addict and could just say, "oh, just go ahead and do what you think is best."

I've seen a large sample board of 12 x 24 LVT with several tiles grouted and it's a nice, modern look. It was a similar quiet pattern as Silver Shimmer but a darker color. As with all tile, you'd have to buy a box and there'd be a lot left over for your tiny bath. In our larger bathroom, we had five of the 16" tiles left over. Bac, I just posted about my vanity in this thread. I remember your vanity hunt. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/3999160/small-bathrooms-full-vanity-light-or-dark?n=12

I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?
