Since we have been posting a bit about the renovation of the bathrooms, one really cannot have a conversation about mid-century bathrooms without talking tile. If you pop into a Big Box store, or even a specialty Big Box tile store, odds are you will be extremely limited in the options offered that fit the mid-century mold. You will likely find white, white, and white. Perhaps some penny tile, if you are lucky, but also in boring, neutral colors. However, not all is lost, because if you need the brightly colored tile that was in mid-century homes... B & W Tile has you covered. Random side note: Rachel grew up a city over from Gardena, so the fact that the tile in the Gist Restoration came from that area makes her very happy. Nathan decided to mess with grout colors, since there are so many options. Anyway, the blue (and blue penny tile, which is not from B & W) is for the Roman tub in the master bath, the gray is for the hall bath with the pink tub, and the green tile is for the new pool bath. This is the tile for the base of pool bath shower (green wall tile). Ultimately, we went with lighter colored grout than what Nathan toyed with, and we are happy with the results. Stay tuned for more on our bathroom saga.
