Bathroom Tile

Gut renovating a bathroom with a few weeks lead time isn't the easiest thing in the world. We ended up scrapping our original ideas (spa-like and black and white subway tile) for something pretty different. The husband found a wonderful cobalt 3/4" hex tile

And then we chose a frosted, white (almost green seagrass) glass subway tile to go with it.

Once he found the blue we quickly converged on the light glass tile but it took us at least an hour to decide between 4 slightly different shades of glass and another hour to choose frosted or clear. There was another woman in there with us most of the time choosing between 5 identical looking tiles as well which made me feel a wee bit better.

For bathtubs, we're looking a couple of acrylic, rectangular soaking tubs.

For sinks, we were considering a metal console sink with white top. This one is way too big but has the right look. It's from Pottery Barn and I find it lovely.

Something very simple, modern and in a warm, reddish wood maybe. I think that would warm up the room a bit but it's hard to tell without the floor tile.
