Remember my pink bathroom, posted here? It's hard to forget.
And remember how I finally decided that I love white subway, posted here?
Well, after image immersion and a couple of trips the two blue and orange home improvement stores, I took the plunge and committed to white subway tile, glass penny rounds, and white grout. And I love it.
We added a small band of the glass penny rounds for some interest. The subway tile goes all the way up to the ceiling. We also added a glass shelve to eliminate the over-the-shower-head-caddy. It's just a small one, but it holds everything we need. (We do have a three section soap dispenser, as well, so that helps minimize many assorted bottles of shower gel, baby shampoo, etc.)
We are pretty happy with the tile! It looks so much cleaner, fresher, and most of all newer!
And it turns out, tiling isn't all that difficult. (Good to know, because this girl wants a new kitchen back splash!)
Just a note: We did keep our pink tub, but we painted it white with special bath tub paint.
Do you have any tiling experiences? Or emergency home DIY projects?
Remember my pink bathroom that literally fell apart two days before Christmas that I posted about here?
We were suddenly in a hurry to make it functional again. We could have just bought a single piece insert from the home improvement store, but the design girl in me just couldn't do it. Our overarching goal is to honor the architecture of our little yellow cape and thus preserve the original charm that we fell in love with at first sight viewing.
Enter Pinterest. Months before, I had casually started collecting images of ideas to serve as a jumping off point for when we got around to redoing the bathroom. I thought I would have months to meander my way into deciding how to renovate our little and only full bath. Now I had a matter of hours.
Images from here, here, and here (all via Pinterest).
(I don't know if other couples share this frustration challenge, but my husband and I communicate a whole lot better when we can both look at the same image and discuss the features.
What I love about each bathroom is the tile! Each bathroom looks like a peek into a charming little country cottage.
It was becoming increasingly clear, I love white subway tile.
What features are you drawn to over and over again?
