In one bathroom we have 6x8 subway style tile. I love it they were super easy to install since they were prespaced. We have different 6x12 on the floor. In our master we have travertine in two different shapes. While I love the look they were much harder to install we should have gotten a tumbled travertine to make installation easier.

I think the tiles in the shower are 6x8 and the match the floor, but those are 12x12.

We have large tiles on the wall and the bathroom floor - 18" I think? A vaguely stone-ish pattern in porcelein tile. The shower floor is 2" tiles. The walls are a slightly darker color, maybe cappucino colored and the floors are the same pattern but a lighter color. There is marble pencil tile around the edges of the wall tile since they didn't make edge pieces. The 2" tile in the shower is multi-color and has both the wall and floor colors in it.

I was trying for dirt-colored grout, but I think I went a shade too light and it looks almost white to me. Pisses me off every time I notice it. I think grout staining is in my future.

We have 5x10 white tile with some accent mosaic. The mosaic is a mix of stone and glass in grey ish blue. The floor tile is 13x13 in a grey tone that works well with the mosaic. I like the different tile on the floor, and I like that the accent tile pulls it together.

We used a porcelain tile that looks like white marble. It's a good fake that is really only noticeably not real because of the limited pattern choices. We used 18" square in a diamond pattern on the floor and 12" square in a running bond pattern in the shower. The less grout the better. Anything bigger than a 12" wide is difficult to install in a shower. We had accent clear glass tile inside the shower niches and gray and white granite shelves that match our vanity top.

We used a light gray grout on both the floors and the shower that matches the gray veining in the tile. We used epoxy grout which is more expensive and harder to install but is non-porous, never needs to be sealed, and doesn't stain. DH literally spilled blue paint all over part of the floor (he fell from a ladder but luckily wasn't hurt) and it didn't stain at all. It's really amazing stuff and we're going to use it in every tile application in our house.

We just renovated two bathrooms:

- in the hallway, we used 2" hex marble tiles on the floor. There is a tub in that bathroom and the tub surround is white subway tiles with an accent row of marble subway tiles.

- in our master, we used the same line of tiles throughout, just in different sizes. The floor is 6" squares, the walls of the shower are subway tiles, and the shower floor is 1x1s.
