I’ve got another dilemma…
As I’ve mentioned before, the “master bathroom” is pretty much a blank slate for us. Which means there are tons of possibilities, but also lots of tough decisions! The main feature I’ve been going back and forth on lately is what flooring we should use. Right now, the floors are wood, covered with vinyl (and most likely asbestos-laden glue).
Here, you can get an idea of what is under the vinyl:
Looks like we definitely have hardwoods under there, but they are very “raw” and would either need to be covered up or refinished. Usually, I would never vote to cover up original wood floors, but I’m not sure if I feel that way in the bathroom. I worry about leaks and spills and several other things that could possibly ruin wood floors.
So, the question is, do we refinish the wood floors or tile over them?
If we refinish the floors, here are a few options that I really like:
If we choose to do tile, I like these options:
I feel like, honestly, we can’t really go wrong either way. Both would be beautiful. What do you think? Would you choose tile or wood?

Your mother would go for tile. I would also choose a larger tile rather than a smaller one. I think the larger tiles are easier to keep looking clean and fresh….my decorating advise for the day:)
I would go for the tile. I mean both are AMAZING and look super chic–but tile adds another dimension to the bathroom. :)
Large tile for the bathroom floor and probably the kitchen too.
I love the basketweave tile. It’s so elegant in a bathroom!
I like our tiled bath…really nice in the summer…but really COLD in the winter: :)
Tile but one that’s easy to clean!
