What to do with our bathroom? (and giveaway winners)
How was your weekend? I hope less stressful than mine 😉 and to keep my mind off of things I have been thinking about our bathroom that I shared with you guys last week. Remember when I shared our new shower head (click HERE if you missed it)?
I’ve been thinking about doing a gut job reno, I mean who wouldn’t love to have a tiled walk-in shower. I’m not to fond of our standard builder’s shower tub. Not too pretty at all.
But then on the other hand my tile that I chose 14 1/2 years ago isn’t too bad, is it? And who knows if we’d ever move then doing a complete renovation of our tiny bathroom (and we have another identical one too) isn’t really the most reasonable, is it?
Black, white, beige and white is still a nice combo when you mix in a little hint of color here and there. I’d wear it as clothing so that’s always a good sign.

Here are some things I want possibly do for our bathroom but first I want to show you our beige checkerboard ceramic tiles just as a reminder:
So I was thinking to possibly have lots more black and white with the tiles and a floor to ceiling shower curtain.

And then I’m also always intrigued by dark walls BUT I was told that the steam and moist air would cause streaks on the dark walls.

Oh and I’m thinking about putting thick crown molding around ceiling and shower curtain like you can see on the left photo. I can so imagine the left photo with our tile. Not the perfect solution but it would look great and be budget friendly.
And one more thing and completely unrelated but Emily Henderson’s kitchen (love her) just puts a smile on my face. It’s so great and she has the same Delta kitchen faucet as me:

we used benjamin moore’s bath paint in flat finish in our last house- in a dark color, blue danube. it never streaked and was a very small space with no window- the paint always looked great. 🙂
I second Cassie’s comment. We used Benjamin Moore Aura spa paint and I have two boys that splash a lot! No streaks several years later. Use a good paint and you’ll be fine.
I love the ceiling to floor curtain but that shower looks too much like a gym shower.
I think the tall shower curtain would pull the eye right up! Good plans!
Oh, gorgeous inspiration, and great ideas for an inexpensive update!
Great inspirations…cant wait to see what your going to do..
Love the dark wall inspiration! Can’t wait to see what you do.
that black and white shower curtain is so gorgeous!
I think you are definitely on to something here. I love all your inspiration. When I look at your bathroom, I see a lot of red tone in the wall color and a bit in the shower curtain. I bet with even just a new wall color you would see the tile in a whole new light. I have found that with my yellow tile that I am not a big fan of, but with the yellow walls they just looked worse.
I love the idea of a floor to ceiling curtain. It makes such a difference. Adding black would be striking!
I noticed the faucet too! Doesn’t it make it seem THAT much cooler?!
I adore that last kitchen.
I can’t wait to see your bathroom – I have nothing to add because I’m lame, but I know it’ll be fabulous.
I think adding black and white is a great idea! You can definitely make the tiles work! Also my mother in law used a special paint for tile on her kitchen backsplash and she said it worked great. Not sure how it would hold up on flooring, but that might be an option for the beige tiles too.
Love all of this! Can’t wait to see what you do!
I’m loving the inspiration for the bath. I really do like the floors you have already.
