Hello, I am new to this website. I have remodeled several homes over the years, but am a newbie to co-op renovations. I am in the planning stage of a very small bath remodel in a pre war coop. It has not been touched since it was built in 1917. It has typical subway tiles (cracked) on the walls and a hex on the floor (also in disrepair) Flushometer toilet and window in bath area. From what I have seen--very much the standard bath of the day when it was built.

I think the subway tiles are busy and make the room look smaller. I am thinking of going with floor to ceiling white carrara tiles (12x24) on the walls...but not sure about the floor...replace the hex or continue the marble?? I found this photo online that shows a hex on the floor mixed with marble on the walls http://windsweptsoftware.com/MyHouse/utahbath1.jpg.

I want to keep it classic, yet at the same time, clean and updated, that is why I hesitant on the hex tile on the floor. Thoughts...opinions???

Also, will replace tub with walk in shower/glass door to open up the room, and will install Coronado Block Shutter over window for privacy, yet allow some light in. Coronado claims the shutters to hold up in damp conditions--has anyone had any experience with these?

Thank you for your thoughts.
