Retro Chic

Most might think black and white is too boring, but white subway tile is classic, chic and works as a backdrop for many different looks. It brings a vintage New York apartment feel to any bathroom. When deciding on the bathrooms for El Modena, we were inspired originally by the photos below...



Picking out tile is probably one of the hardest and most time consuming tasks when it comes to decorating a house. There are so many options and you want everything to be different for each bathroom, however all the bathrooms should present one cohesive idea. Below are the samples we have picked up thus far for the El Modena house...



 At least we can start thinking about different patterns, shapes and versions of white (glazed, matte, porcelain, natural stone, etc..). 

Since our tile expedition we've been looking through even more photos for inspiration. The following photos show a little more variation on the subway tile and mosaic floor. 





Starting with a black and/or white base leaves a lot of flexibility to add color in other ways. There are some great wallpapers and paint colors out there that really make the room...
