Bathroom tile help , pretty please.....

I took this photo of our ensuite 2 years ago when we started the 6 month 'renovation'

last week I contemplated painting the walls white & changing the handles & taps

just because I was so tired of looking at it.

I see it when I wake up in the morning , eekkk

But then I still have to live with 'this' 

mmm , beautiful blue tiles.

I could put the new frameless shower screen in

but we are taking out that hob eventually

so that would create more work later on.

And we need a new one of these

Double vanity ,

 there's those tiles again

Must choose a tile that dosen't date !

Usually have pretties & towels 

I took this quickly one day , in case we tore it all out

& I forgot to take a before shot.

(yes ,  I did forget for our laundry)

When you are deciding on tiles for me 

pretty please

should I take the tiles to the ceiling or retile to the same height

so I can put some artwork or the like on that wall.

When you are choosing my tiles 

( pretty please ) 

should I take them up to the ceiling or leave the wall to put some 

artwork or the like on ?

These are the floor tiles of my dreams

This is my dream shower......

I do love the combination of the two different sized subway tiles

More white & light bathrooms

Originally I was going to do a travertine bathroom 

to go with our french style bedroom

taken last christmas 

during the long renovation process the colour of the carpet choice was changed

we laid a light charcol carpet.

I realised travertine wouldnt go well

 & I do love whites.

I have thought about white subway tiles which I love

but our kitchen & laundry splashbacks are in those

so something different would be a lovely change.

This is what I do know

1. The bathroom layout will stay the same

2. There will be a double vanity with a stone top

chrome lever taps

3. Frameless shower screen

4. Chrome fittings

5. We are on a tight budget for this bathroom

6. We dont have a contemporary theme

7. Create a classic timeless look

So why the rush

Hubby has been unwell & it may get worse before he gets better , 

it would be nice for him to have a lovely room to relax in.

We purchased the whole house carpet 5 months ago 

& the carpet was laid except our bedroom because the ensuite needs to be stripped.

AND

Im just over this reno !

So I put away my beautiful bathroom pictures

& decided to try to go budget tile shopping 

until

the lovely A-M (from The house that A-M built ) 

did a beautiful post on bathroom tiles

where my very favourite floor tiles came up.

This is where my lovely readers come into play.

Any suggestions , helpful tips would be 

GREATLY APPRECIATED
