This last one is 6” square square

Wow! Just saw this progress. Congrats. I am late to the party but i would do the bottom stripe of tile at one height and second stripe at a more narrow stripe. More interesting. Do they have trim tile in that burgundy. That looks great. A pencil tile would work. As i showed in my mock up, l love two Moroccan gold trimmed mirrors over the sinks. The big mirrors that span the entire space are dated but in some rooms needed. But i much prefer two. Better look. The vanity with that new hardware is very pretty. Looking forward to seeing results!

Lola, I think the checkerboard with the small squares could look nice. It would give it a special extra look with the same two colors instead of boring rows. It's a good substitute for the fancy tiles you aren't doing.

Check the depth of your wood trim with the tile thickness to see if it would line up. You may find a pencil trim with a design that matches close.

Tip. Bigger tiles mean fewer grout lines. At sink area where splashes rule, fewer grout lines are a plus.

I like the flat edge on bottom of this mirror with tile being straight too.

Love the idea of adding a top row of tiles with some pizzazz!

I’ve got several mirrors in my house in various rooms and a little tip here… The straight edge mirror across the bottom is way easier to keep clean. Those fancy little curves and things at the bottom of a mirror can be super annoying.

Especially in the bathroom I think you’re going to want the convenience of straight across. It’s less of a problem at the top for some reason.

Yes, pool and lisalane, inte interesting topper not only nice but essential. Otherwise, just boring two tone. Something I last sight of for awhile. Back on track now. Another thing that could work is 2x4” tile set vertically with alternating colors. I have samples coming in coco and rose gold. Wish I didnt have to wait. Ideally, think very cool blue with trracotta colors. I am very fatigued by search. Flo, I have already ordered the tile with second color up bigger than bottom. Like inspo pic. Can play with it. Are you messing with me? ha ha. I am going to get frd to measure out lines representing current plan.

Thanks everyone for mirror discussion. I know I brought it up but cannot think about it now. Much appreciation!❤️❤️❤️❤️ back to search.

Guess i am having trouble keeping up with you! Ok. When you get the samples we can finalize design. 🤗

Yes, order of operations here… lol tile first!

Website of interest for trim tile.

If you are considering Moroccan frames…the metal is a thin layer of metal over a very heavy wood frame..and will tarnish..a lot…plus takes very strong hook/s to bear the weight

Ok, picked up tiles and here they are on kitchen table. Definately need something stron on top. Also, still open to other color schemes if I dont end up satisfied. Thoughts?

Forgot pics. Flo, just seeing your post. Hping for something bigger in addition to finishing piece. thank you though. will check out❤️

Cool. One less row on top, then trim detail on top.

You like your indoor pic so much. Why not duplicate with only two rows of burgundy?

To me, even three rows of burgundy would be top heavy. I may have missed something. Have you found a decorative til similar to your inspiration pic?

Oh! I have the rows wrong if I am copying pic. What looks best?

^tile^ (Would someone please remind me of how to see past the first two lines?😝)

It’s a little hard to see the scale on this but I’m thinking two rows of burgundy on top.

How many rows of beige are going to be on the bottom? I’m wondering about proportions here

However without knowing the actual measurements for the amount of space that the beige is going to take up and then the burgundy it’s hard to judge from these photos.

And I was thinking the same thing with proportion. My question is how much of that wall height wise are you wanting to cover in tile?

I may be thinking, going from bottom to top, to try the burgundy at the bottom where your pretty hardware sits, then beige up the wall, then the trim piece above that?

Yes, i meant one less row of the burgundy to keep base of beige in proportion. Then trim on top of the burgundy. You can test with the countertop sample to see which color tile looks best right next to the countertop.

Thanks guys. We can measure off on bathroom wall. I think I got pretty carried away. Originally, I was just planning on thefive rows but my tiles are more narrow. w As I was calculating, it got out of hand I will draw some lines later. I think I’m happy with colors though. Right? Meanwhile, as I continue to search for top tile, I found a Morrocan Tile place here in las vegas. Think all of their tiles too thick but here are a bunch of borders.

Your trim could be a smidge thicker I would think but the only thing about that then is how high up you’re wanting to go with tile and trim and then how the mirrors will mount up there, I’m thinking.

I like the colors of the beige and burgundy together. If you like them then you’re on your way 💗

I like the burgundy and beige. But i also love that last one. However, if you use it you have to do bottom tiles similar to background rose color and a dark blue tile for bottom rows. I think i would stick with beige and burgundy. Then a twisted top edge in maybe your dark green. I will shop around. Bbl

Ok. This is better. Sorry it took me awhile to hear what you all were talking about.

Here’s interesting green trim. https://www.tileclub.com/products/viva-peak-forest-2x16-ceramic-subway-tile-sample?variant=44529716363415&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=22423501383&utm_content=178825843098&utm_term=&gadid=745397463245&gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=22423501383&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeABNs8lWSOXOcZrgAiTYpjMUI4r508tKcG199zKf49vuZcvRVMqn4waAjIvEALw_wcB

Thats nice Flo. Thanks. BTW, current configuration is 18”. Tomorrow, will scope out wall and consider best height and mirror placement. ❤️

Playing with adding green trim tile. You could do just one line of green at top edge but you could also border top and bottom of burgundy with the green. Here’s look at possible two stripes of green (or blue) and remove one row of beige below the top part.

Dark blue. https://www.mineraltiles.com/products/zellige-heritage-ceramic-tile-ink-blue-pencil?variant=41574033653783?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GSNFree&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21567430077&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeD7Z24BwfCF6loya5P_Mx373DPr4c-ZcKoj6mjIBXWjMuY3EbW2EbUaAtsrEALw_wcB

Simple or you can find in twist or other looks too. Just throwing ideas out there for you. https://www.mineraltiles.com/products/zellige-heritage-ceramic-tile-ink-blue-pencil?variant=41574033653783?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GSNFree&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21567430077&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeD7Z24BwfCF6loya5P_Mx373DPr4c-ZcKoj6mjIBXWjMuY3EbW2EbUaAtsrEALw_wcB

Twisted green is really nice. But now I’m liking the green next to the beige instead of green next to burgundy. Too Christmasy? Now thinking this out, you could have from top to bottom: green twist, then burgundy, say only two rows, then another green twist, then beige down to sink. That would put a nice 5” to 6” width of top trim with the burgundy and green together vs a decorative tile anywhere then the majority going down beige so not too crazy. Depends on how the beige tiles go with your vanity top. Also if you want your fixtures to show off or blend? And the height of all of this depends on mirror installation. The twists might be too thick unless they are across/above the top of your mirror.

Omg Flo, did we just have the same idea! I’m impressed with myself 😂

I’m impressed with both of you❤️ I still have samples coming from Mineral Tile, maybe that pretty blue color included. Meanwhile I took a little rest and partially came to my senses. Back to three beige and two maroon. This is why I need you guys! We can play with trims and what goes on top. Probably won’t be finding fancy tile. Cant help but look though. So, now we are dealing with aproximately 12” backsplash. What was I thinking? You guys already knew I was nuts. Right?

Other questions. New faucets? Currently have ugly black, prefer goldish. Where to shop?

Yea Lola, there are so many beautiful decorative tiles, like why try to pick, would just drive you nuts! You could use one on the vanity square as a placement for pretty little bottles of something? Change them out from time to time? Just using some of your favorite samples or get a few to play with? Like eye candy just for you 💗

Just get little felt rounds for underneath the corners :).

And vanity lights! Nighty now :)

Wayfair:

More Wayfair:

And two more:

Lola those last two are really pretty!

I just looked at the tiles I posted above with the pic of your tiles and I don't think any of them work because they include some light gray that doesn't relate to anything. Of course, that was a small sampling but I'm thinking a darker patterned tile that picks up the burgundy is what is needed. Of course, IDK - just my opinion. I like the feel of this just because it relates well to the burgundy and the beige. So many tiles out there....

Thank you lisalane! Yes, that last one works. Probably too big though? I actually dont mind somethingthat contrasts like blue in inspo pic, just hard to find right one. Thinking I might go with plain contrast trim that Flo and Alice talking about. I have been doing a lot of escape sleeping past 24hrs to escape critical mass of tile (and other) clut clutter around here and in my brain. My i-pad and my eyes need a break. Thank yu. I will be back❤️

Whre did you find last tile?
