Bathroom Remodel?
I have an old house and am currently remodeling the bathroom, and not sure how to proceed. So far I have tiled one whole wall with white subway tiles, installed a new sink, repaired the original octagonal tile floor and replaced the ceiling with bead board, also in white. My question is, how do I proceed with the other three walls? What would look best? More tile? Drywall? More beadboard? I am trying to maintain the integrity of the original bathroom, which I would say was added to the house around the 1920′s. any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

first let me say that without seeing the bathroom, it’s kind of hard to judge, but from the description you’ve given, I think that I would use bead board on the lower part of the wall, then just above it, put up some more of the tile. Above that, I’m not sure, maybe drywall and wallpaper over it, depending on your decor. Good luck.
It really depends…were you using the tiled wall as an accent wall? If not, then definitely tile the other walls in matching tile. If you want some contrast, try tiling three of the walls and painting the wall with your sinks and mirrors…saves a lot of trouble tiling around those areas and gives it some added interest.
Remember to use anti-moisture materials when you put up dry wall, paint, etc in any bathroom.
