Given any thought to matching the walls or shower floor?

Sounds like a crappy job

Are you putting that up when you're all done?

I guess you use a different method to hang your toilet paper to dry?

You travel a lot, steal the ones from the hotels.

Condoms work better, shower caps are a bit slack and can let smoke in

What made you think Paul have condoms at home?

If I were you, I would tear out all of that dated tile (walls, shower, everything) and update to a modern shower tile. A lighter tone 12x24 nonslip porcelain would work well in that small water closet.

If you're going to leave the project as is, you really need to match the shower floor tile. You will want non-slip tile, and you will want it to look like someone intelligently designed the style (the shower tile gives you that continuity). Having three different tile patterns will look pretty stupid IMO.

No thanks OP...I did two bathrooms a couple of years ago...never again:)

I am 90% agreeing wirh you, and that"s probably what I'll do, the only other opinion is that the fake tile floor had a slightly different color, kind of a slate. I was wondering if the cotrast between it and the rest of the bathroom is the way to go? Because it gave the appearance of a larger space? If the continuous sandstone color would make an already small bathroom more claustrophobic? Heading to home depot for ideas right now.

The secret to good DIY home improvement is making it look like you paid someone a lot of money to have it done. And, to modernize the look, materials, and technology so that your home is improved. Having a mix-match of tiles that looks like you remodel whenever there's a sale at the flea market doesn't accomplish that.

Yeah, I think you are right.


BTW, I have remodeled my entire condo, while i think it came out very well, I gurantee none of it looks like I paid someone a lot of money to do it. If I ever told anyone that I did, they would say I got robbed.

I would like to see when you put the tiles with the drone.

The tile doesn't look dated to me...a nice neutral tone in the floor will look nice

Ideally you want matching tile on the shower and bathroom floors. This way it visually appears to be one larger space rather than two small spaces. I'm about to redo my half bath downstairs and am seriously tempted to hire it out. I have a guy that will do it from start to finish for 2500 plus materials.

I took on a serious MB remodel last year and it took forever. Mainly because we took down walls and redid all the plumbing electrical etc. I will never do it again.

Honestly, the tile doesn't bother me. I'd lay down some that linoleum that looks like hardwood flooring and be done with it, It's great with water, cheap, and easy to install and really looks great. Pic some dark and rich and you'll be in business

You might be right Tom, been racking my brain on this for two days.... Still can't decide.

That's two of us that might be right. It's a no brainer Paul, match the shower floor and save those brain cells for something challenging (like programing your drone to do the install for you).

OK, decided then. NOW, you guys should have seen me fight with the cabinet all day today... I decided I wanted LED lights.... Tomorrow I hook up the dimmer switch in the wall. When you hear the fire trucks you'll know why.
