Subway Tiles are a very popular, basic choice for modern bathrooms. Illustrator Christoph Niemann has designed a New York City Subway tile pattern for his subway-obsessed sons. A mosaic map of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx wrap around the walls and floor of the bathroom...
To appreciate this bathroom even more, be certain to check out Niemann's previous post about his young sons' favorite obsession: The Boys and the Subway.
And in his own bathroom? An appropriation of Andy Warhol's appropriation of the Brillo Box!

It's GREAT! I'd be concerned that I'd get tired of something so powerful over time, but the concept is abstract enough and the colors fun enough that maybe that won't happen. Certainly cheerful!
Ha! A subway motif in a room that is SUPPOSED to be used for urination! Excellent!
P(too) -- too funny!
These are fun, but probably a real buzz-kill when it comes time to sell.
Bad ASS! I'm so jealous.

Here's my version of a subway bathroom, which I did in my old apartment. And the guy was so very much all about the view that he barely even noticed the bathroom. But he and his lawyer we were very excited that I showed him the photos on my cellphone camera at the closing, which I had taken at 2am the night before, when I finished changing the name of the "station" to his:

So... re-sale is not always such a nightmare with customized things, if you do it right.
I love it! I would love to have this in my bathroom!
I would love to see a hi-res version of this (with smaller tiles), and black tiles marking the express stops!
Wow, this is awesome. Bold seems appropriate in the bathroom, since you don't ever spend THAT much time there...
