    Great concept!

    I plan on doing our small bathroom in a water theme.

    More of a blue than sea foam. I guess it will depend on the ultimate tile choice.

    My little design hobby is starting to take over my life...

    Those coconut wall tiles that AT feature a little while ago would fit into this scheme.

    That's great! I decided a few weeks back that I was going to do my bathroom based on the Dead Sea.

    I love all of the items, except the toilet. Would someone please explain to me why 90% of all the toilets, no matter what brand, are designed to make bathroom cleaning a nightmare? The only way to clean those nooks and crannies in the pipe bends on the sides is to get on your hands and knees with your face in the bowl if your bathroom is the least bit cramped.

    Another recommendation for tile is Hakatai. I just did my shower in one of their classic series mosaic blends (Jade Blend) and am very happy with it. They ship direct to you and have very reasonable prices (think it was about 6.50/sq ft including shipping).

    They also have a nice bathroom photo gallery with a variety of styles represented...

    I love the fact that $6.50 a square foot is reasonable. Boy, am I in the wrong line of work!
