Please help me with my 1950 bathroom renovation
Please help me! We are finally updating our 1950s bath (lived in our house 10 years). I want to do an update that keeps in mind that two children will be using the bathroom on a daily basis (ages 10 and 8). I ordered a vanity yesterday (furniture style with feet, 24" in a dark finish) because I loved it, however I probably shouldn't have done that because I have no idea what I should do with tile. I love white subway tile, because it seems so clean and timeless to me, but perhaps I should forget that and focus on something else. The project starts in a few weeks (why I needed to order the custom vanity). . . .Do you have any ideas to help me. I don't want to do this ever again, so I hope it is a classic, timeless update. Thanks so much for your imput.

Consider using your subway tile from the floor to about 18" from the ceiling. Paint the ceiling and down the wall to the tile in one color. Don't use white though, look at gray or lighter shades of green.
For the floor use smaller sized tiles or consider a honed granite. Above the vanity either hang a mirror or recess a medicine chest with lighting integrated into the face. For the window you could use a pair of shutters or a wood-look blind in a stain that is in the same tone as your vanity. Whatever you select for the window, keep it minimal, tailored and easy to clean.
