I think you are correct that the 12 x 24 tiles will be easier to clean...I love the look of my basket weave, but OMG, cleaning the grout!! Since your floor will be rectangular, I'd probably do the 6 x 6 for the walls. Not sure about the penny round on the walls of the shower...I would have to see a pic of that type of application. I have a 12 year old and a 15 year old....no way in Hades would I have a glass walled ANYTHING in either of their bathrooms! It is true WORK keeping that glass clear, and I can assure you that I would have no interest in nagging about it incessantly, nor would I want to take on additional cleaning duties myself. I think a tile wall would be so much easier to clean, plus look appropriate to the age of your house.

Thank you both! Love those images. Vintage bathrooms had such outrageous color. I am slightly tempted by that, but at 1926 this house would have been right on the tipping point so plain safe white is pretty appropriate. And I do adore what bathrooms too. :-) I have given some serious thought to colorful wall paper above the tile wainscoting, but my eleven year old already takes long showers. With a four year old daughter following on the heels, I'm thinking wallpaper won't stand up to the steam. I would consider square floor tiles, but I think I'd want to get up to at least 18 x 18. I'm dreading the tile floor honestly because I have had such a hard time keeping them clean in the past. When we did our master bath two summers ago I chose linoleum, which has been a breeze to clean. But this bath is planned to have a curbless shower and tile seems like my best bet. Any thoughts on the penny rounds? Too cute/modern? Would 4 x 4 set on the diagonal be better? I'd like to get some interest via texture into the room. And the penny rounds are just so much fun.

Lived in our house for 45 years in NY. Had oak floors throughout. Those floors went through multiple dogs and two kids and their friends. In the 45 yrs, we had the floors refinished 3x. They held up beautifully and those floors sold out house. I would never compare solid wood to laminate or other types. They can get damaged and then what do you do? Wood floors can be refinished and stained whatever color you want. Jane
