They're coming to redo my bathroom on Tuesday.

AAAAAAUGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I don't even know what colours I want. Not bright white tile like now that blinds me in the morning April to September. Not dark designer colours that will make the place a cave from October to March. Pale coloured tile shows the grunge. Dark coloured tile will turn the room into a broom closet. I hate neutrals. I don't have the funds for an upscale job.

If only the damn room didn't face east I'd go for honest bathroom black and white. But it does, oh it does.

Ah. Doesn't require concrete, but quarry tile is not glazed, is porous; hence sealer (yet another hindsight item). Plus paw, I've found that a darker floor lets ignore dirt longer. Yes! (*cough* We are sooo not domesticated, here.) I dunno why anyone would want marble in a bathroom unless they've sufficient slaves to take care of the damn stuff -- it doesn't go well with water that has acidic pH.

I find it psychotic-making.

Woot, with me no problem, I'm already there!!11!

My thinking along this line was that way lighter colors won't cover the drywall patching beneath them very well, so they'd require two, maybe three coats (but I guess this is only blergh-worthy if you gotta do all that painting yourself). Still, lighter color of some kind would be better in a small room. Esp. in winter, which is gloomy enough w/o the assistance.
