please do not put in a vessel sink, i hate those. this one in the above poster's picture isn't too offensive, but ones that look like a big round bowl on a lift are soooo ugly.

The brown travertine hides the tumblepubes better than the white subway tile though.
I'd rather not have pubes hidden in my bathroom.
Once you make it to the middle class, you have time to spray down your shower walls before entering or money to hire someone else to remove the 'tumblepubes'
Totally! The travertine looks dirty to me- with or without the pubes. I think what OP chose is about as classic as you can get. I'm sure some element of it will be dated but it won't be as awful as the builder-grade crap being used now.
In our reno, we did Carrara marble hexes on the floor & white subway tiles on the walls. I love it. The floors don't look dirty bc they aren't.
Shocking, you like the bathroom that is exactly like yours.
On a different note when did subway tile become considered high end, I thought it was inexpensive. We are looking right now and whether because of price or trendiness, it is common in flips.
Not necessarily. As with any design material, there are cheaper and more expensive options. Hand-made subway tile like this is very expensive:
Those are even uglier than the cheap ones,,the rest of the bathroom is nice though.

Subway tile is cheap garbage that's why they could afford to do subways with them

I chose subway bc it was cheap and gave great style. Put my money into other parts of the bathroom instead of giving it all to Anne Sachs. Also for those of us who are our own interior decorators, subway tile is an easy pick. I would have been overwhelmed trying to go for something more original and complicated with the tile. Had to keep it simple or I'd lose my mind.
+1
Also, in a small bathroom, glossy white tile has an expansive effect.

I actually love subway tile. Sounds beautiful, OP. Maybe not completely timeless, but nothing is.
Now THIS is the very definition of boring.
I actually like this look better, not many grout lines and has some warmth.
Subway tiles look sterile and remind me of an old hospital, prison group shower or government bathroom.
I would take boring and warm over the sterile white lower ones. Am with you pp.

Yes. It is vital that we know upon whom you are exercising your bitchiness.

If the wood floors are already in place and she is happy with them what is the big deal. Get something you like and don't worry about 20 years down the road.

This thread is an excellent example of how you can't please everyone. Just pick something that is relatively normal (which is every picture that has been posted), that fits with your house and that you like.

Just a tip - if you get marble floors, make sure you have a floor heating system put in. It makes a huge difference in the winter.
