Family Bathroom

Hi - First time posting but am optimistic that you all can provide me with some help!

I have a family bath that is currently empty except for the plumbing, below are the dimensions (certainly not to scale).

The house is from 1910 and I am pretty set on having hex tile in marble on the floor, with wainscoting in a beveled subway - in a brick pattern - to about 4ft around the whole room with a chair rail (somewhat like the picture below, but likely without the hex border).

My major concern is that I don't want it to look like subway tile threw up all over the room and my hangup is specifically the shower area. I find that showers in subway from floor right up to the ceiling look odd. The bathroom isn't the biggest, but the shower is the first thing you would see when you look in the room. The door on the shower will be glass, so there won't be a curtain to break up the visual of the tile.

I am somewhat inclined to do the chair rail at the same level right through the shower and then either i) change the orientation of the beveled tile above the chair rail - perhaps a herringbone pattern or ii) change to a marble subway above the chair rail that matches the floor.

My two sample pictures that I could find are below.

Option i) noted above.

option ii) (sorry, you can't see much of it!)

I am generally looking for advice on what you think will be the best course of action!

Thanks in advance!

Top 10 Murder Victims Who Solved Their Own Murders

Image
Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished .

How to make Bath Bombs with Pink Himalayan Salts

Homemade bath bombs are all the rage these days. They are so easy to DIY and there are a ton of different bath bomb recipes out there. I love how easy it is to personalize your bath fizzies’ scent with essential oils . Some of my favorites to use include Lavender (Relaxation) and Peppermint (Pick-Me-Up). Mom Always Finds Out may have received one or more of the products mentioned in this blog post for free or discounted price. Regardless, all opinions expressed are my own. This blog post may contain affiliate links. I have been on a Pink Himalayan salt kick ever since I learned about how good it is for you. This pretty pink salt is one of the purest salts on Earth and is high in mineral content. The fine- grained Pink Himalayan salt is good to use for bath bombs because it dissolves quicker than the larger sized salt crystals . If you don’t have any Pink Himalayan salt at home, you can substitute another type of salt. Epsom Salts work great in this recipe, too. The main thing to
