Hello All,

I found and fell in love with this mosaic tile I found in clearance ($2.99 per square foot - how can you walk away from that?! Well I couldn't!). I have enough to do pretty much whatever I would like to do with it - just not the whole bathroom (which is soooo big at 5x8!). At first, I was all for mixing it with some nice neutral grays. I was thinking a full wall in the shower/tub area which is the wall facing the entry door with a "break" all the way around the room, right at vanity height. The vanity is a deep brown (almost black but definitely brown). The new tub, toilet, and sink will all be white. When I matched it up with gray, it didn't thrill me (unless it was a dark gray...but the room is so tiny I'm afraid the dark tile will make it vanish completely).... I then tried matching it with beige tiles (like a khaki dark beige) and I do like it - but I think its a little.... predictable? Too "match-y." I want the bathroom to look clean and crisp and have enough personality to not be blah and boring.... but not too over the top that I will hate it in a year because its too busy. I'm having a hard time finding the balance. I've also thought about making the vanity/toilet wall the focal point and using the mosaic's floor to ceiling there - but then I don't know how to make the rest of the room "work." Any suggestions on colors and tiles (wall and floor) would be greatly appreciated. I'm also not sure if we should tile the entire bathroom or just up to the halfway mark outside of the tub/shower area. Its such a small space I'm afraid it will look strange if we leave just that tiny bit un-tiled? This is our first big DIY project and I am so anxious to get started and see what we can do! THANKS!!

OH - the last picture includes some paint chips - I was trying narrow down the coordinating tile color... the brown coaster represents the brown vanity... don't judge. :) I have to make visuals for the hub... :) (and for me...)
