to help you be more accountable? consider spending $15 and install a timer so the exhaust fan stays .. after you leave, and you dont have to worry about shutting it off! Home Depot has one.. http://thd.co/17ieFtZ
If these do not do the trick? may need to consider doing the math to find out if your fan is sized right for your bathroom. Knowing what the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating is key. This site has a quick calculator to help you: http://www.ventingdirect.com/bath-exhaust-fa...

Understand and feel your (painful) decision. May I suggest you look for "rectified" tile!? ...»
What this means is the tile has gone through more precise sizing during the manufacturing process so that you can have a near butt joint in your tile installation! Since your construction is new .. installation should be easier. Discuss this with your builder... better yet, the tile installer. Some installers charge just a little more because the underlayment/mud, etc must be perfect - otherwise its near impossible to hide the ups and downs.
Advantage... 1/16" grout line. Tile edges are square.. near perfect.

Design & Décor: My bathroom needs to be spiced up..

You might be surprised how a punch of color in small items changes your view of the space! ...»
Without knowing your preferred style, hard to direct exactly.. but here is a couple of things I would do ...
window film - yes! When choosing a style.. or color/pattern, keep in mind this will draw a lot of attention.
I can picture some towels on the edge - maybe a vibrant orange? Or a tall vase with a sprig of flowers in the back corner. Test yourself.. go buy something that is BOLD in color and watch how it transforms the room!
Not a big fan of rugs with a punch of color in the bathroom - all too often rugs look misplaced in a bathroom, meaning not balanced to the room so they draw negative attention. Besides.. its the floor, I say keep the eye interested up above!

Remodeling: Bathroom tile question

We are rennovating our bathroom... it is fairly small (6X8). Standing in the doorway the sink and toliet are to the left and straight ahead is the tub. I am wondering if we should do the same tile on the walls of the shower as we do on the floor of the bath. Attached is the before photo... the tub is now white and not surrounded by tile. Thanks!

elements such as towels or artwork. If you want to change up the tile a little, maybe change the direction or pattern - but I would recommend the two tiles be really close in color.
