Option B ! Can you do maybe a black tile to match all the way up just the with if the vanity . Or a tile that has some green tones in it to match .

I would go with A if 1- it was halfway up the wall all the way around the room or 2 the mirror was the same width as the vanity, otherwise it looks off? i think bringing in the green with wallpaper or paint will be good if you cant do the entire wall.

Stay simple with white and add green with paint, art, or towels and bathmat.

What about the green with the thinner pencil liner from the shower outline instead of the bigger black one, then add some green pulls to the cabinet?

B unless you can have something fabricated like this

Thanks all! We do have leftover pencil liner too--we had to change a full wall to a half wall once the project started, so that left a bunch of extra tile--but unfortunately only have black bullnose; the green is custom so can't easily get bullnose in that color. Could maybe use the Daltile jolly trim in place of it, but not ideal.

Definitely looking to work with what we already have budget-wise--the quartz piece came with the vanity top, and the tile is leftover from the shower so a sunk cost.

I love the idea of green handles, but haven't been able to find any in the right size--these are 5" center-to-center, which is crazy long. Could theoretically fill the holes, drill new ones, and try to match the color of the factory finish, but not really looking to do that much at this point in our neverending project! The vanity manufacturer did send us a second set of pulls (accidentally, I think??) that are matte black, but we decided that these were the better option of the two. I could definitely get green knobs, though--we just happened to have this set already so I put them on, but easy enough to swap out. I'll keep looking for pulls, too.

The towel rod will be next to this and I just ordered a black ceramic one to match the sconces--in theory I could have done green for that instead, but thought it might be best to keep all the ceramic outside the shower matching.

All looks fine! The tile looks busy - partly the 'visuals' of floor tiles, and handles?... No biggie to me, cause I like the neat and trim 4". The sconces 'show' better without the tile - just doesn't seem 'needed' in the design. Are the sconces a milk glass?

Reproduction milk glass, but yes, same look. (The shades are from Schoolhouse, where we got most of the shades in our house, but sadly sometime between our last project and this one, they moved their manufacturing overseas...should have paid attention to that as they definitely aren't as nice as our older shades!)

Tile. I'm not sure how to get the right look with the pieces you have, but you can't have one side glorious green and black and the other side white on white.

I don't suppose you'd want to dump the countertop and tile over that sink would you?

Fori, that's a great suggestion and would look wonderful!

Many bathrooms have one type and/or color for shower, and another in the same room... ?

Probably require ordering more tile to get all the weird shaped trim pieces you need for sinks and counters though...but I do love a good tiled counter...

Can you hold off on the backsplash until you can find a BLACK slab for the counter? Maybe a remnant or something? Kinda like the original soapstone plan.

@Fori ha, that was my plan way back at the beginning--I love tile counters! But I got voted down over both maintenance and cost concerns. (The vanity and counter we went with, though perfectly functional, were on the very low end budget-wise--we're in the SF East Bay so labor costs for tile were $$$, and our project has a very modest budget by area standards.) We were initially set to do a soapstone remnant, but our project got pushed back for months and by the time we were finally ready for the counter, they no longer had any remnants the right size, so the price ballooned. Shopped around a bunch for other remnant options at local stone yards, but couldn't find anything under $1500 once labor was factored in, which was way beyond our budget. (This one was only $400 as a prefab big box purchase, but they didn't have black options at all--I guess not en vogue enough right now!)

The shower does have a marble curb and pony wall top which--while not the same as the sink top--are definitely in the same family, so the two sides do tie with that element. This is from pre-shower install when I was comparing them (quartz on the left, marble on the right):

There is also that green hex, which I'd forgotten about. It's a lighter green than the subway, but in the same general family--it was supposed to be accent tile in our white hex shower floor, but then we had massive quality issues with the white hex once our tiler started cutting it and had to switch brands to one that wasn't exactly the same size, so no green dots. But it could also be an option since it's readily available and is a more muted green that seemed to go with the quartz (and for a backsplash I'm not as concerned about quality).

Do you have more leftover or is that all?
If not enough for the entire wall like one user pointed out I would see if you could at last go up to the mirror or half the mirror.
Black hardware might help tie in the black from the floor, tons on Amazon for cheap (where I got mine and easy to return if you don’t like)
Another idea, trimming out the window in tile but no idea what that would look like I nearly did it in my bathroom but my bathroom was tooooo small and it felt ridiculous lol just trying to think of options for ya!

Do you have enough to do the entire area, from vanity all the way up to a row or two of green over the mirror (and all framed in black, natch)? Might have to make it wider than the vanity to enclose the sconces.

Or halfway through the mirror? I don't suppose you have enough to do the entire wall halfway up?

I mean, the white looks fine with your elements...it's just that you need something bold in that area also. Which you planned.

It might not be terrible to put up the white splash and just plan to replace it when the right piece comes up, but you've got all this tile and you probably just want to be done.

We have about 11 sf of tile left, so unfortunately not enough for the whole wall. Could maybe go halfway up, but it gets messy with both the outlet and the sconces since they hit just outside the line of the counter. I’ll keep thinking on other ways to add green, though…

Idk - cut in half - to make a frame for something.. even a mini-mirror somewhere?

I would wait for a black remanant to become available, then tile up to a bit below the lights. Say, a height halfway between the knob and the light bottom. You can easily replace the knobs on the doors with the jadeite type knobs. Maybe try your black pulls with them? Can the med cab knob be changed to jadeite?

I thought too... post as you go, please...?

Yes, can definitely do jadeite knobs. Don’t really want to try to fill and repaint the cabinet pulls at this stage (It came with the holes pre-drilled) and replacing the counter is out so need to work with the existing color. Using the tile as a frame somewhere is an interesting idea though! Another out there idea is to paint the medicine cabinet frame green (but I literally just put the first coat of the white on last night!!)

Yes, paint the med cab green! Then when you tile the backsplash, tile up to the med cab.

We haven’t see what the shower area looks like…but the look does seem to conflict with the sink cabinet style…my theory is that a green wall will tie it together better than trying to make the cabinet “match”…

That looks very retro to me. Can you get some white tile the same shape as the green and mix it to create a feature wall around the medicine cabinet? White tile should be reasonably priced. Something along these lines

Or you could even mix in additional colors. Not suggesting these exact colors, just a representation of how to stretch what you have and tie it together with less expensive tile.

Or do mostly white and border it with the green and black, sort of like this

Retro was definitely the vision, though it's increasingly leaning transitional with changes we've had to make along the way. Here's the shower area--it is getting frameless glass later this week, so the green may be a little less pronounced at that point.

And here's the distance between shower and vanity--they're just across from each other:

I'm still somewhat torn, but need to make a decision by tomorrow, when our contractor comes back for the last few loose ends. If we use the backsplash piece that came with the vanity top, I'll have him install it. (If we tile, we will DIY it, so there's also an appeal to using the quartz so we can just be done!)

I did get green towels, but they are very light--I haven't been able to find anything close to the tile color--so not sure that will do much to pull the green across the room. Art is definitely an option, though--there's room both next to the vanity above the towel bar and over the toilet (which will be behind the pony wall).

I could definitely mix and match the tile--it is standard 3x6 subway and the black is already Daltile, so we know their Color Wheel Classic line will mix with the green tile with no issue. I'll have to think about that one!

Be very conscious on using art….it needs to be waterproof, somehow….it is also just safer to get the matching backsplash attached now…remove any future possibility of damage from water splash…and it ties in well with the countertop…

I would paint the vanity the color green of the shower tile and get the matching backsplash for the countertop. White walls.

Ohhh. I agree on the wainscoting. Lovely idea. Especially since I think you mentioned not having enough tile to tile the walls

Thanks--wainscoting would definitely be an option! We considered and ruled out tiling the full room (though I would love to have done it!) due to cost. The window is getting replaced and will then get its original trim back, which is a simple flat trim that matches the rest of the house. But many of the rooms, including this one (though it was not a bathroom before now!), originally also had a flat trim piece 5' up the wall that we could definitely put back, and then put wainscoting below. We might consider changing the wall color at some point, but right now it's newly painted so will stick with the existing color for the moment. (If we put the trim piece back up, though, we could also potentially skip the wainscoting but paint the wall below it a different color.) Ditto for painting the vanity--that is an interesting idea that I hadn't thought of, but right now it is new with a factory finish so might let that get some use first and then change up the color when it needs an update. (It only came in white, gray, and navy, unfortunately.) Or maybe see what it would look like to just paint the inside panels on the doors and then add green knobs--might be able to sell that option if it wouldn't look too odd.

Still waffling on this one since contractor hasn't yet come back, and of course now to complicate it, the tile company is having an inventory clearance so we might be able to get some inexpensive trim pieces in the green. I'm continuing to play with putting up the tile vs. the splash piece, and wondering about just doing green (assuming we can get the bullnose pieces). Thoughts on whether this is going to look as off as the black-trimmed option? (The grout would actually be pale green, same as the shower, so the tile would blend more--the butchered photoshopping here makes it look dark!)

The white still seems to look more "right" but also more sterile/ordinary. But I like the green on its own (or perhaps with the black pencil liner across the center) better than the green with the heavy trim, and maybe the black sconces and towel bar would be enough black to echo the green/black of the shower?
