MY BLOGGER BATHROOM

Thanks to everyone who helped me pick out the sink! I now know which one I will be going with.

No, I can't tell you yet. You will just have to come along for the ride and wait to see it when it is all finished.

So, now I'm looking for your help in picking the floor. I know I want white hexagon subway tiles.

I'm thinking maybe all white with maybe a small border of black. I'm not sure if I like this look with the square white tiles on the side of the black though. Do you?


This photo is just being used as an example of the kind of tiles I want. This are from the 20's I believe. Could be the 30's I'm not sure.

Back then they used grey in between the tiles but I think I would go with all white as the grey makes it look dirty to me.



I was thinking of maybe adding some black in between the white but I'm not sure. Do you think it gives it to much of a polka dot look?

Maybe just not so many black tiles?


Yes, I think it's to polka dot looking with this many black tiles.


What about little flowers made out of the black tiles?



Or should I forget the black all together and just with all white?

It's so hard trying to pick out what I really want. I have an over all look in my head but to get down to the tiny details is driving me nuts.

So again, I ask for your help. Which look do you think would be best?

Thanks everyone. I hope you know I'm going to call my bathroom my blogger bathroom as everyone is helping me pick out just the right look!

I NEED YOUR HELP!

We are finally going to get our bathrooms re-modeled. We have everything all set to go and our time is coming soon to start getting everything torn out.

Yet, I have a problem. Can you help me decide which sink to get? Please!

I'm planning on a doing a retro looking bathroom. We already have the bathtub/shower done. It's done with white subway tiles and trimmed in black.

I'm going to do the floor in black and white tiles also. We will have bead-board up 1/2 on the walls and I'm not sure if I'm going to paint the top part light pink or light blue.

So here is the first sink. I want a pedestal sink for sure. Just not sure which shape I should go with. No matter which one I get it will have shinny chrome faucets.

This square one is nice. It gives a retro feel since it is a pedestal sink. Yet, it also says modern as this sink is a bit different then the old sinks from the past. It's more of a common shape of sinks now days when a pedestal sink is wanted.


Then there is this oval shape sink. I think it gives a nice retro feel to it. Sort of more from the 20's or 30's really.

I like it and think it's nice because it's different then most pedestal sinks these days.

This one is sort of a combo of the two above. Square and modern but still has an oval retro look thanks to the oval bowl.

I like that it does have a bit of an area around the sink to put things. Maybe some pretty flowers and soap?

I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go with. So I really hope you will help me out and leave me a message on which one you like the best.
