"runninginplace: nice job with the subway tiles. Tell me about your shower size and materials and how you clean it. Where do you put all your stuff? Do you have a cabinet somewhere in the bathroom?" I decided to eliminate the bathtub when I remodeled since I hadn't used it EVER and only used the other tub (in hall bath) maybe once-twice in 20 years. So the shower is basically the same size/footprint as a bathtub. It feels so large and luxurious to me! The floor is the same hex tile as the rest of the bathroom and the walls are the same subway tile as the rest as well. Something I learned about on the bathroom forum and used and would definitely recommend is grout colorant. It is generally something you put on grout to restore color or cover dirt/dinginess. However it was suggested that if I wanted white grout I could just do white grout colorant immediately. I did and boy was that a great idea! I find that it has kept the grout looking good with minimal effort. To clean the shower floor I use some Comet then a splash of very dilute bleach water. Clean the subway tile with the bleach water as well. The shower glass is a breeze to maintain using a Mr. Clean magic eraser. Those things really are magic on glass--just dampen the eraser, wipe down and buff with a dry cloth. Presto, sparkling clean. As for a cabinet, that was the achilles heel of doing a pedestal sink in a teeny tiny bathroom. After I took those photos I found a perfectly sized little 3-drawer cabinet at Target. It is tucked between the toilet and exterior wall (not shown). Holds toiletries and miscellany and along with the medicine cabinet it is adequate. I've linked below to one that is similar from Target, although as noted mine has drawers instead of the glass door. But the dimensions are almost identical. The reality is I will never have a bathroom with storage space for towels, toilet paper, hair equipment et al. So I just store those things as close as possible--bedroom closet, linen closet in the hallway--and avoid drooling over larger bathrooms :).

The ceiling could look appropriate stained transparent white or a deeper toned stain. Seems as though there is plenty of light in the room. The decision maybe be determined by what type of furnishings you plan to place in the room. What maybe you should reconsider is your selection of bamboo flooring. Looks as though you have spent a lot to do this addition. Also looks as though you are up north, based on your picture. Sorry but I don't think bamboo floors contribute to increasing the value of a home in a northern address. Oak or maple seem more appropriate.

Thanks everyone - still struggling with this. SJ thank you for the idea of the Emser tile. I like the look of the striations and the coloring that calls to mind wood. Here is a link to my inspiration - really just the first photo with the tub/shower/floor I love the artisan subway tile and simple hex shower floor. My issue is that I don't want to do a marble look because then it "fancies" it up too much and the subway won't look right. I'm also struggling with whether to use Misterio Quartz on the white shaker vanity - or this GORGEOUS iceberg calcite. I know the calcite is fancy - but damn it is SO gorgeous and comparable in price to the Quartz and I think the subway would bring it back down to earth. And everyone is telling me the master bath has to be WOW. The wood I have chosen for the rest of the house is Emilia (the first photo is the closest to what it actually looks like). Edited - Okay - but what about a parquet look tile Y'all are so generous for sharing your ideas and time with me. Thank you so much.

Dented? I have Coretec LVP in my Florida home and honestly I don’t know what you would have to do to damage it. We drag our furniture across it! I have ceramic wood look tiles in my home up north in our tv room which is off the garage. I have had it way before it became a thing. I don’t see it as dated. It’s another choice that can make sense in certain areas for certain lifestyles. I think flooring is different than say cabinetry or the popular colors. You can look into Cortec tiles. so many choice.
