Crazy for Tile

by Liz Dowling

My latest project is updating a 1948 master bathroom.  It’s tiny.  Just a pedestal sink, toilet and a small (ancient) glass shower.  High gloss black and mustard tile is EVERYWHERE and needs to be replaced.

My first order of business is to pick new floor, wall and shower tiles.  I thought I had narrowed down the “look” until I went tile shopping.

There is so much to choose from and all of it is gorgeous.  Big problem.

Updated mustard and black tiles. Ha, ha!

My original idea of a beveled white subway tile and a fun marble design for the bathroom floor and shower all of a sudden seemed BORING.

The first tile is from Walker Zanger. Good luck!
