question for you. is this an actual historical (or historical-ish) renovation in an older home?

is the wood floor coming into the bathroom and you are only using the hex tiles on the shower floor?

It's a 100 year old farmhouse. But this bathroom will actually be part of a new addition we are building. Would like to keep some of that old charm. The rest of the house isn't historical though.

The "wood" flooring will be used throughout the master bedroom/bath/closet. Hex only on the shower floor. Although I am open to considering something for the entire bathroom. The tile is nearly half the price as the coretec. I felt like the wood flooring would help bring some warmth to a mostly grey/white bathroom.

Fori I would LOVE a picture, dirty or not. lol. I won't judge.

Actually I really like/wanted white grout with white subway tile but I know it's a bear to keep clean, so I am compromising with light grey. ;)

I feel like the light grey grout will also help tie the walls and floor together since the color is in between the two tiles.

I would say I am aiming for a classic simple but elegant look. But honestly I don't trust myself to make design decisions.

My current bathroom is blue/yellow and decorated in rubber ducks... I have no children. Haha. I actually love it, but I think I'm ready for a "grown up" style.

Be sure your greys look good together. There are pink greys, green greys, blue greys. The green walls you have might look terrible with the warm grout. You have to really look at all your grey elements and make changes as necessary.

I used epoxi grout in my bathrooms. I love the stuff.

Don't judge me but in the approx. 2 months since it was finished, I haven't once cleaned my shower tile walls or floor (did clean the glass door once) and it looks new still. DH never squeegees, and the fan barely works (an expensive Fantech!) so the walls and shower floor stay visibly wet about 18 hours a day.

What I used... Walls: Arctic White 3"x6" subway tile (Daltile Rittenhouse) with 'Bright White' grout- Laticrete; Floors (in shower and bathroom): matte white 1" hex Merola from big orange ceramic tile floor; "Smoke Gray" Laticrete grout. My goal was to make the floor grout look like it looks when its dirty. So I took some grout from the kids' 14 year old bathroom and matched it.

I was aiming for '1920s vintage but new' (my house was built in the 20s and has alot of charm still - crystal knobs, alot of molding in most rooms), but also not high maintenance. (I put in Carrera marble counters in the kitchen 2 years ago, and honestly miss the laminate - I don't need added work for aesthetics at my age.)

Anyway, HTH somehow! I know everyone here helped me so much when we renovated.

I wanted white grout but my GC convinced me it was a baaaad idea. Then he had the idea of doing the floor tile grey and the wall tile (which is a different color) in white. Baaaaaad idea again. All grey would have been better.

Ap999, about your fan, do you have enough gap at the bottom of the door to allow air to enter the room while the fan evacuates the moisture laden air? I have a fan tech and it evacuates my 8x10 room very well. I have 3/4"gaps under the 2 doors that enter the room. Also because of my ducting plan, my fan is bigger, iirc it is for 170sf. The Fan Tech support helped me size my fan.

I would personally nix the core-tec in the bathroom and just do the hex tile throughout. I think your idea is a good one, or another idea is to do a white matte hex tile on the bathroom floor with a light grey grout and your other choices. Either will look great.

I picked white hex tile originally but my husband said the bathroom was too white and plain for him. So we compromised on grey in the shower. I'm not sure if I would want grey hex throughout. Do you think the wood flooring will look bad in a bathroom? Or is it just a personal preference to have tile?

I think tile would be better. It's more traditional and much more carefree. Of course being carefree has its issues as well. For example, I can't photograph mine because it's too dirty because I figured it'll keep and can be cleaned later. :)
