No not all the walls! I was thinking just the back wall of tub/shower with white everywhere else! And the same mosaic glass on top of sink vanity in the sink room... Sorry if I am so confusing..!! I am confused myself with all the tile choices:) just was wondering if subway tile would match on the surrounding walls or a different shape white tile...

Thanks for that glass grout info I will definitely look into it!

I prefer a solid surface on the vanity for two reasons: 1. Ease of cleaning, (you cannot keep that many grout lines perfectly clean!) and 2. You cannot perfectly level dozens and dozens of one inch tiles!

I think one of the tile formats shown in the photos by lynartist would provide visual interest and some pizzazz to the overall design while retaining some flexibility of future decor changes.

Here is a pic of a larger tile I used in our vacation house. Not the best pic, but it is at least twice the size of an ordinary subway. Used it because I wanted a cleaner look and less grout . I think you should be fine if you use that grout on the mosaic. You may be able to see it in a higher end showroom in your area. Check it out in any case.

i do think that a larger subway tile is nicer. but now i am having second thoughts about this glass tile wall idea!! back to the drawing board?? lol thanks for your help everyone! im going to give this some more thought...

Here is another picture of this idea with mosaic on the back wall. Would that look good with my glass mosaic choice ?? Or better just to do a thick stripe around like lynartist's pictures?? Or skip this whole idea with the mosaic ???

I like the glass wall idea but you don't have to do the entire wall, it would help if you added pics of your bathroom. :D Also instead of committing to pink tiles, paint walls a pale pink and use a opalescent type glass tile like the photo below to pick up the pink and still look sparkly and girly, this way you can change out colors down the road (paint and accessories). Maybe add a pretty pink crystal chandelier and pink glass knobs on cabinets if you have that to add more bling. Here's the link to that first pic.

Whoa, wait everyone! Why are you all trying to talk Mazaldwek out of her design plan? I think her inspiration pic is beautiful! With the right planning this could be a very stylish bathroom! You may want to scale down the amount of mosaic for cost reasons; a wide vertical stripe in the shower for instance. But I love the idea of the wall behind the vanity. I'm not concerned about the grout because of the new type of grout and please go with your gut. I always say " No guts, No glory"!

Some inspiration

thank you lynartist and everyone else!! im thinking of actually keeping the idea for the vanity with mosaic but for the actual bathroom (tub/shower and toilet room) maybe keep it just simple white and accent with pink thinkgs ex: towels like everyone has been suggesting lol!! the tub will have a glass shower sliding door but still for all the practical reasons that tedbixby pointed out, maybe ill skip it on the tub wall or at least do less... still thinking about it :)

I found this tile that maybe I can use instead of the little square mosaics... Maybe for a strip in the tub and boarder around sink? Do you like this better?

Not really. If you are unsure about this can you buy a full sheet of the mosaic. Do they have a designer at the tile store that you are getting these samples from? Maybe if you have help laying this out with all the proper trim pieces etc. you will feel more comfortable with your final decision whatever it may be. I would try to stick with something timeless in any case.

Putting the colorful mosaics behind the sink or on one wall will give you a lot of design impact compared to behind a shower curtain or shower door. It will also be easier to change 20 years down the road. The shower can be a classic white tile. This photo demonstrates the design impact of the glass mosaic up front where you can see it.

Not sure about the layout of this bathroom; is it a typical bath with one sink or a large bathroom with a double? Are you doing a contemporary look or a more classic look? Trying to get the look of the inspiration pic? I have some pics here that might help; they are of different looks. These are more traditional looks with a neutral tile. They have added a couple strips of mosaic to the floor for added bling which is pretty.

These are just some others. The mosaic is a more mixed material that would look nice in a strip such as in pic 4. Is this like what your bathroom layout will be?

Sorry , I meant pic 3

Is it the bath with the separate vanity on your plan in the middle?

Is so, this is a large , separate area. Perfect for the look that you want in your inspiration pic; I would probably center the sink though because the mirror will throw the whole thing off balance. Do get larger samples to see how you like it!

So it is more like this set- up#1? Then I would stick to your plan , pic#2 and add an accent in the tub/ shower such as pic #3

Yes it's like pix #2 where there is a sink room ( I will center the sink) then a door to the actual toilet shower room. My architect like this idea so that if one kid is in the shower another can still brush their teeth...:) I think I'm liking this stripe in middle of the back wall! Thanks for all your help and pix!!

I think it will be gorgeous! And don't worry about towels, that's what white is for!& monograms;)

i just ordered 3 more samples of tiles for online! will be in touch when they come!

You don't have a tile source near you that you can choose these?

i do but i didnt love what they have...i can really run around and try different stores but its always easier from your own home:)

metro tiles look goid with hexagon tiles. from womans point of view: less grout lines, less mold growing

Justina makes an excellent point. Five girls with shampoo and conditioner make for a lot of cleaning. It'll be much easier for them to keep the showers clean with big tiles.

Hi! I recieved my two white iridescent tile samples one has a mix of plain white and iridescent and one is all iridescent What do u think??

first ones def

Hard to tell but I ordered a sheet of the mixed tile one to get a better idea..

All iridescent tile sheet has more impact, less fussiness.

Well, they are both pretty but have distinctly green and pink tones due to the iridescent quality. If you wanted this to be pink, I still like your original tile.

But I do agree the all iridescent sheet is probably best. This may look different in person I realize; just adjusting to the difference in your original vision:)

Great tile! Go for it!

This a picture from the website of a backsplash with the mixed sheet. I think your right though and I should go with the full iridescent

These don't feel special to me, sorry. The original tile looked higher end , can't wrap my head around this one.

i mist agree, original ones had more of the impact on the eye. at least in pics.
,,walls and floors" got a good range and will send you free samples
also, have you heard of colour changing tiles?!

No what is color changing tiles??

For what it's worth, I really like your original tile choice (the peachy pink glass). It looks like the color is truly in the glass, and it has a nice sparkle of its own. I don't know if you've used glass tile before, but they tend to change color a bit when they're set. My tile supplier showed samples of mosaics set and grouted on boards, so it was really helpful in seeing what the end result would be. You may want to try a sample set and grouted to be sure, because it is a big investment.

In my current home, I used vertical stripes in each of my three showers, and I set the stripes where they were framed by the shower entrance. In your bath, that would be somewhere around the dotted line crossing the tub. I think that placement would tie the bath tile into the vanity tile beautifully, and, as a bonus, it's less of a cleaning hassle because it's further away from the shower head and soap drips.

I still think this is the one. Here's a close up of the glass grout; very luminous, no worries about staining etc.

Ok I was talking to so many people about this ( making it more confusing! ) but what if I skip the whole mosaic idea and go with a cleaner subway tile look in a little more modern 4x16 size with a splash of color behind the tub - maybe lavender- like this picture

I'm sorry you want to abandon your pink dream:( It seems the option here was with your original pink mosaic. I do like your idea of the larger subway; I have them in a shower myself and love them. Not sure I love the idea of purple, that's a personal choice. Found this tile and thought a natural material may stand the test of time and it is a bit more neutral. Has a lovely sparkle to. Have you thought about a scrubbable wallpaper in the vanity area?

I'm sorry, I meant to say opinion.

That is a very pretty install Ted! You always find cool stuff:)

;)

Thanks everyone for all your help!! Now I gotta discuss all the options with my husband ( and girls;) ) !! Let's see what we end up with!! I will for sure post when we're all done!!!

We look forward to it! I'm sure it will be beautiful!!

i came accross colour changing tiles when we were doing our wetrooms. its unusual choise, but def interesting. few options: ones that react to light, others to direct pressure heat, water temperature. ill see if i can find a link

just to confuse you even more:)

Groovy is right! Better not shower after a night of partying;)

HeeHee, you crack me up :)))
