My question is, do you have a suggestion for an alternate floor tile since the tile you used was a clearance item. I haven't found a tile that seems dark enough. Thanks for your time.

Ours were all set in a bed of mortar and metal sheeting so we didn't run into that. We would just recommend googling around and even visiting a local tile shop or home improvement store to see what they would recommend for your scenario. Good luck! xo, s

We're about to do it over, so here's my question: we removed one of the white tiles from the tub surround and behind, instead of cement board, is empty space, with the tiles each individually affixed to a cement "pillow" (our whole 1st floor is prewar plaster). We are flummoxed and don't know what to do; you didn't happen to deal with this when you did your remod, did you? Thx for a great blog.

Here's a post full of our favorite paint colors so just grab a bunch of our recommended swatches and hold them up in your space to see what you like best. http://www.younghouselove.com/2009/06/email-answer-picking-the-perfect-paint-color/ And don't forget that you can get lost of bathroom paint and color ideas from looking around online and in magazines, so you have something to mimic. Good luck! xo, s

Works great and gets many complements. One tip would be to keep the water pressure turned down just a smidge so it doesn't come shooting out and splash everywhere (it's not like you're washing dishes in a bathroom so it saves water and still does the trick with less splashing). xo, s
