We have a marble saddle leading into our master bath and it was always so funny looking to me because there was this beautiful piece of marble and then....late 60's tile. LOL! I'm sure it was all the rage back when our home was built. I do want to keep our marble saddle for sure if possible.

It just makes my life easier. Thankfully, all of our floors downstairs are concrete, so we don't have to fool with flooring choices -- just rugs...and that is a completely different nightmare!!

It’s been years and red and white are still my favorites. When people ask me if I’m sick of the colors, I always say nope, and why deviate from what makes your decorator’s heart sing? ☺️<br /><br />DIY is not easy, there are always pitfalls and unexpected troubles that pop up along the way. However, it’s a great skill to have and saves a lot of dough for sure. I know your bathroom is still gorgeous and not at all dated.

I have to say, I really like this one. We put a very simple flat, matte, white square in the other bathroom when we renovated a few years ago, sounds like your beige tile. I’m not a big fan either! Although, I doubt we’ll be changing that one anytime soon!!

We took the easy way out and just layed vinyl that looked like your original pretty floor. Jerry did do our postage size (literally) guest bath when we first moved in and did a good job too, but it is so dated now (after 30 years) but will stay this way forever for our use..Can't wait to see the final stage. So far it is sounding wonderful..Thanks for your visit. I guess I will always have blue and white. When you reach a certain age, you just know, and it is all good..Happy first day of Summer.

That...Choices like these can be so overwhelming! That's where a lot of my procrastination lies, because sometimes I have a hard time making that final choice. I agree that the wood tile was a definite no-no in your bathroom.<br /><br />We aren't DIYers so we had both our bathroom floors redone a few years ago. Both bathrooms are teeny.The main hall bath has big square tiles that are textured and layered with dark gray, blue and brown. We love them. Get compliments on them all the time. Our master bathroom also has the larger ceramic tiles, but they're flat, matte and beige. Turns out, I don't like them. The grout gets discolored and the tiles get hairspray build-up on them, which is hard to get off. I also don't really care for the color anymore. Oh well - live and learn! I think your new tile will look fantastic. Can't wait to see the final result.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-84904198959481251682019-06-21T15:41:31.313-04:002019-06-21T15:41:31.313-04:00I had that same black and white floor in my bathro...I had that same black and white floor in my bathroom a few houses ago!
