It looks like you have eight foot ceilings, I always tile to the ceiling with eight foot ceilings as it looks more cohesive without the narrow stripe of painted wall above the tile.

Not a pro, but definitely tile to the ceiling.

To the ceiling

To the ceiling.

I appreciate all of your comments. I’m definitely tiling to the ceiling. Thank you.

I like to tile to the ceiling AND the ceiling above the tub/shower.

Great advice on tiling to the ceiling and I would like to add, I LOVE your tile. It's sleek and just beautiful!

Thank you.

We recently tiled to the ceiling in all 3 upstairs bathrooms. I definately recommend that for a cleaner, more cohesive look. (Love your tile by the way; it'll look really nice going to the ceiling!) I do have one little pet peeve about that. While I definately think it looks nicer, I think it's harder to make the shower curtain rod stay in place. See how the shower curtain rod is sort of resting on the Schluter strip so it's probably easier to make it stay put? If I were doing it again, I might ask the tiler to come up with some creative solution to that problem. I have to tighten/extend the rod so severely that I feel like I'm going to crack the tile. Maybe installing a really tall shower curtain on a cool ceiling mounted rod, so that you can get rid of the extention rod altogether? I know it's a tiny problem, but it bugs me.

Your tiling is already completed, and there's an edging all the way around in lieu of bullnose tiles. I think it might compromise the waterproofing to remove a row of tile in order to remove the edging and retile to the ceiling. Just want you to be prepared.

Nice tile, I vote to go to ceiling if you can.

My mom has a shower curtain rod that is installed into the tile with screws. But you would have to drill holes in tile, but can ditch the tension rod.

Here are some, nice but not inexpensive. But you would want to buy really good quality that would last if you were to drill holes.

I have a question, since this is a active thread and you have a window in the shower I've been wondering how that works. How does the window hold up being wet so often? I don't think I could stand to have a full sized window in shower with me. I know there are a lot of older homes built that way but I've never asked about it. I've seen a few homes put a shower curtain in front of window, I suppose to keep window dry and for privacy. I've seen a near by home when remodeled a bit (not extensive) they took out standard double hung and replaced with a smaller window at about 7ft height with a slider or casement with crank out opening.

Anyway, just wondering how you deal with the window.

Thanks.

Nice!

Looks great!

Thank you. Sorry the picture is sideways.

"Sorry the picture is sideways."

That's weird. The photo looks fine on my desktop computer.

What on earth has happened to Gardenweb since Houzz took them over? They've given us some improvements, but bugs seem to have crept in, too.

BTW, when I first saw this post, I thought that the title meant that you'd remodeled your bathroom after thinking about it for a while. :)

THAT brought it into the 21st century! Very nice.
