House remodeling help! Is it okay to have different floor tiles in the bathrooms than in the kitchen? We have a tile picked out for our entire downstairs- including kitchen, bathroom, living and family room (except 1 bedroom which is wood) and the master bathroom upstairs, but my daughters don't think that the tile will match with what they want to be a contemporary bathroom. Is it okay that one bathroom in the house is a different tile? And how about cabinets? Is it all right that the kitchen has one color cabinets (say a coffee color) and the bathrooms are all a darker color? Thank you!

What are the best selections for remodeling/decorating a small bathroom, specifically, best colors/patterns? I am remodeling my bathroom in my roommates house. So I can't get crazy with the look. My selections should be appealing to the masses. However, I dont want it to be boring. I have always loved the black and white checkered floor look but I dont know if it will work in a small space. I like black and white because i think it can be feminine and/or masculine, contemporary and/or modern and youthful or mature/classy all at the same time. If i went that route with the floor i think i would paint the vanity black and possibly give it the distressed look. But again, i am not sure if such a bold contrast with the black against white will be good for that small of a space.

Help me to make a choice with my bathroom remodeling!? Ok, I already have a brand new faucet for the bathroom sink that I picked up last year for very cheap on clearance. It's color is polished brass. Now I am in need of a shower head and handle to match. The only problem is that polished brass is not a popular color and is very pricey. Also, our vanity handles are a dull gold color. I have found a color called brushed bronze, which is a dull gold as well. I was thinking about just buying a new sink fixture and then a shower one in the brushed bronze, since I feel it looks nicer than the shiny gold. But, would it be silly to buy a new sink faucet, when I already have one? My husband thinks we should just get a polished brass shower kit to save money. Would using the brushed bronze increase the value of our home at all, or should I just save money and go with the polished brass?
