White Subway Tiles...

Love this bathroom.

I love that it is not a big square/rectangle and that the toilet is down the end.

The sink is amazing and who doesn't like subway tile right?

Subway tile is so clean looking and lends so well to wicker, wood, porcelain and of course goes so well with the Hexagon floor tiles they are usually paired with.

Here are the lovely floor tiles. Little Hexagons in a bone white.
