I actually can't visualize anything without pics of the actual space, but just wanted to say that I love the mosaic...it looks like grains of rice. I have been in a number of homes recently with full walls of mosaic or speciatly tiles.

Based on your description, you could either forego the wood strips and the mosaic and just have a mirror across the rather small wall. Install the wood strips and divide the wall between mirror and mosaic, or use the mosaic as the backsplash and wall tile in the room, have the mirror extend across the room and use the quartz just for the counter.

Thanks coll, I love it too and trying to make it work!

Beverly, your drawings very very helpful.

The mosaic is expensive (although not as bad as I had feared), so I don't want to use too much of it. And I'm trying to keep the other materials to a minimum so the room doesn't look chopped up with too many things going on. Somehow putting it on the bottom just seems wrong - thinking the room will appear bottom heavy with nothing interesting going on in the top section. I was thinking the second drawing which is as I described. Definitely don't want the mirror to go all the way across the top section because I think it will make the room seem "cold" and stark.

I just worry that the mosaic might seem overwhelming in such a small space. Do you think if I go with the mosaic on the top over the toilet, and paint the room in a soft color that blends closely with the tile and vanity that it will be OK?

What are you doing for lighting?

I'm undecided about lighting. The ceiling is 8ft. I don't think I have space for lights on each side of the mirror so I was thinking about recessed lights or this light mounted horizonally above the mirror - It comes smaller too.

I may decide to eliminate the vertical wood strips, get a smaller mirror and then just do entire top section in the mosaic. I have seem pics oh houzz where it was done that way. Otherwise I fear the room will look unbalanced on one side? More $$$ of course.

You can certainly fit one over the sink area and mirror.

wow beverly - your drawings are so good, and very helpful! Thank you!

Also considering three small, maybe cube shaped lights mounted evenly across the space - to keep it from looking unbalanced and to place light evenly across the mosiac wall. Still looking for something like that with a reasonable price tag...

I think the idea of having the lights centered in the small room is a better way to go.
