And that's only the bathroom. They have to build the rest of the flat too! I went around there today and its basically a giant cave. I am sitting here with my legs crossed, very tightly! </p> <p>;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-723150 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:49:18 +0000 Boogs 723150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: Oh my goodness they can't fail a pregnant lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-723096 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:27:40 +0000 sea_bass 723096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: They have gutted the bathroom today so *hopefully* it wont be long!

Like the middle photo. </p> <p>Still have a few more hours to change my mind (again and again..). </p> <p>Can't wait to see the finished bathroom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-723000 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:48:57 +0000 Sprite 723000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grey tile would be my choice, it's great at hiding dirt. Definitely not white though. We briefly considered white floor tile (to go with our white marble shower surround tile) because of all the pretty pictures of white bathrooms on Pinterest. Then I realized what a nightmare cleaning a white floor constantly would really be. We went with a lightish slate grey tile instead, and are in love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722990 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:46:05 +0000 illumina 722990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My vote is for the middle photo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722938 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:33:54 +0000 yourekindapretty 722938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>something dark (not too much of a fan of "black" though) to contrast your white furniture! dark grey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722935 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:32:18 +0000 Alivoo01 722935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say grey to add some color to your bathroom since your wall tile and furniture are already white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722910 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:19:48 +0000 sea_bass 722910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Hahaha! Ok looks like I could be near a decision! Grey is also under half the price of the white marble... So DH will be pleased :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722823 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:52:54 +0000 kjpugs 722823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WHITE or WHITE GREY MARBLE. Definitely. Going too dark with tile is an expensive mistake!</p> <p>ETA- I totally misunderstood I read it as you decided on floor tile and wanted wall tile. I would still go with grey then for the floor, still don't like the idea of black, but maybe stay away from white on a floor!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722771 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:42:02 +0000 sea_bass 722771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Holly smokes. I do not want to do that. I know marble is more porous than slate so maybe grey slate is safer for longevity... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722767 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:40:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 722767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: If it's a simple, more solid colored marble, I think it would look fine. Thankfully I have yet to design any rooms/bathrooms so I haven't had to make these sorts of decisions! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722766 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:40:02 +0000 prettylizy 722766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I have taupe-ish grout in my bathroom and the spot where I sit at my vanity to do my makeup has gungy grout from wet feet. I think it's because grout is porous so the water gets in and sits and grows mold. I've tried bleach, scrubbing and the only things that fixes it (that I've used) is sanding it out! Not fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722757 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:35:36 +0000 sea_bass 722757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Just had to google what FTW meant!! I see your point. Also it will be a wetroom so the shower will fall directly onto these tiles. Maybe white marble will be less durable than the grey slate... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722749 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:33:21 +0000 prettylizy 722749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote gray as well. My beef with light tile is light grout. Bathroom floors end up with standing water and the grout ends up looking icky no matter how much you clean it. Dark grout FTW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722740 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:31:37 +0000 sea_bass 722740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Do you think the marble is too busy with the texture of the wall tile? I kind of feel that way.. But then I think all light could be nice.. Ahhhh, keep going around and around in circles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722736 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:30:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 722736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I definitely like the gray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722727 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:28:49 +0000 Mrs.Someone 722727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I like the whole combo, though I'd do solid on the floor and not checkerboard gray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722723 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:28:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 722723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grey or White/Grey marble . . . but definitely grey grout! It won't show dirt as readily as white grout! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722717 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:27:26 +0000 sea_bass 722717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: he he, do you like the photos or the floor tiles?! I love penny tiles :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722711 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:26:07 +0000 sea_bass 722711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I do too. Do you think the pattern of the marble and the tile will be too much though? The darker greys seem "plainer"/less textured... </p> <p>Urg. I have to decide tonight as well. So difficult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722710 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:25:52 +0000 Mrs.Someone 722710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the 2nd photo in your most recent post! I voted gray, but in reality I'd choose a deep red penny tile or something bold, because I like doing those sort of things :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722705 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:24:18 +0000 Boogs 722705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love light bathrooms so I voted light grey marble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/urgent-help-me-choose-bathroom-tiles#post-722696 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:21:49 +0000 sea_bass 722696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just added a poll too.
