Cleaning? - Are the tiles on the floor hard to keep clean? I love the white circular tiles on the floor but I am worried they won't stay white for long. »
Group 3 The tile is easy to keep white, the grout, not so much. That's why we use a medium gray grout... looks older and no one knows if it's clean or not. :)
Group 3 We had them made by a local millwork company. They're false louvers so there's no lack of privacy. The paint is black with a touch of red and blue in it. We played with it until we got something that looked like very darkly stained mahogany.
Except for the doors and the decorative light fixtures, everything in the house is off-the-shelf.
wall tile grout - Did you use the same grout color for the wall tile that you used for the floor? And is the hex tile a matte finish? (I've been curious if matte hex tile will look good with glossy subway tile) »
alexisross What is the brand and make of the matte hex floor tile? I can't find the right one for this vintage clean look....... What grout color as well on floor?
Group 3 I don't have the specs on this anymore, but it wasn't an expensive hex tile by any means. Same goes for the grout, we just selected a dark grey grout from the tile sub-contractors samples on site.
What tile did you use & what color grout? - Can you please provide the type of tile used in this photo. Is is Hexagon or penny round? and what size? what color grout did you choose?
Thanks!

Group 3 It's a 1 inch hex with a medium gray grout. Many of the little hex tiles in the 1st go-round weren't exactly flat and the entire floor had to be re-done. We were told that "inexpensive" tiles (and these were certainly inexpensive) aren't manufactured to close tolerances.... but they did replace them at no cost to our client.
Pratt and Larson Ceramics Pratt and Larson Ceramic also has 1" hexagon tile and is available to order in any of our over 300 colors. We can also create custom blends for your project.
starrsimon I appreciate your insight. I did, one time, take a photograph to the paint store and asked them to match the paint color. They did an excellent job and my daughter's room turned out just as I envisioned. Having said that, I do plan on getting a sample size to test the color in the room. And if it might save the paint store some guess work, I would love to know the color of this bathroom. Thank you!
From the subway tile to the vintage-style fixtures and pedestal sink, this bath would fit right in with a cottage interior. Beadboard wainscoting would be another ideal choice.
I spy three distinct metal finishes in this traditional South Carolina bathroom: blackened-bronze wall lights, a brushed stainless steel trash receptacle and bright nickel plumbing fixtures.
