I started with brown tile on the floor and wall. You can see photos here. I removed the tiles from the floor and after much discussion replaced them with an adhesive floor tile. By using these it meant I didn't have to level the floor or put down a new base floor. It was hard work cutting the tiles around all the obstacles.
The walls were standard ceramic tile with a flower motif on every 10th tile. I got some help from the paint expert at Home Depot on this part of the project. To paint over the tile I first made sure the tiles were extremely clean as any soap scum or oil on the tile would effect the paint. I started with Glidden Gripper and applied one coat. Then the tricky part was choosing a paint that would withstand a damp atmosphere in the bathroom and not peel off. I ended up using a paint that is usually used on a garage floor. This worked really well because it will withstand rain and scrubbing or cleaning.
I choose Martha Stewart - Cement Grey for the walls and I got all my accessories here.
Hope you like it!
