Don't install wooden base boards in a bathroom it will mildew and rot, install a tile baseboard.

Thanks - that's what I was thinking. I probably won't do ceramic either. I like the clean look and the grout next to the walls. Makes a small bathroom look larger.

I do have the base and shoe, but I would agree to go with the tile. Mine isn't mildewed but its an "extra element" between tile floor and vanities and it's a real pain to keep clean

cmiller7236, I see that you're satisfied with wall meeting floor with only a grout joint, but in the long term for maintenance, I recommend a tile baseboard. You put a backsplash on a counter so you don't wear away your paint and drywall every time you wipe the counter. It's the same principle with the floor--you could over time leave a visible mark on the bottom of your wall after repeated cleanings, especially with a mop going up to the edges.

Thanks! I agree the wood is an "extra element", and needs more maintenance.
and I still like the clean look. Since the walls aren't drywall I'm not concerned about the walls. My contractor just said that tile moldings are "old" and used more in commercial for sanitary reasons, not really needed for what I'm dong. Too many decissions!! Having a hard time with this simple project.

Please clarify. It sounds like you have tiled walls that meet the floor tile. If so, then you do NOT want to install an additional baseboard over the wall tile.. Just caulk and you're good to go. f a few of your walls are not tiled, a wood baseboard or special tile trim pieces would look just fine. A note on caulk, use a siliconized one, easier to clean than painter's caulk, and buy a silicone "strike" or finishing tool. They are awesome and worth their weight in gold. Professional, perfect caulk lines every time.

crazylife - you are right about the tiled walls and floor. And thank you - I have decided not to add any base. The grout by the walls look beautiful.
