The 5'by 7' bathroom done in tile half way up the walls was done in plain old inexpensive white tiles.Nothing at all fancy.

The house is a one story rambler and it was put on the market.
The objective was simply to do something about the awful appearance of the bathroom which was an eye sore.

What turned out to be amazing is how much of a difference and how bright the plain old inexpensive white tile made the bathroom look. It actually seemed bigger .

Choosing tile can be a task in and of itself because there is so many different patterns and colors to choose from.

Is it all about showing your friends and neighbors your beautiful bathroom ?

The point being sometimes simple is better. Five days in a 5'by 7' space sucks even when it's gutted.

At the finish result that space actually did seem bigger. I don't think a fancy patterned tile effect will have made the same difference- surely it will have looked nice, but there is only so much you can do in a small space.
