JOHN SPOTTED THIS GREAT PORCELAIN CERAMIC MOSAIC bathroom tile, which would be great for a 1960s bathroom floor. It’s from a company new to me — Nemo Tile. There are 60 different color combinations to choose from. Heck yeah there is more…{ 7 comments }
WELCOME TO GinaUSA’s 1960s bathroom. I am really quite in love with this style of mosaic tile — 3/4″ or 1″ squares — and in this case, with little porcelain splatters.

This bathroom from last week’s Austin mid century time capsule has an interesting detail that I want to point out: You can clearly and easily see the 1″ or 3/4″ square mosaic tiles bridging the shower/tub and toilet. But look in the mirror above the vanity: You can also see the same mosaic on the facing wall – but with additional, randomly spaced accent tiles. Using the mix on just one wall is a great trick to add interest to a mosaic bathroom – but not overdo it.

There definitely seemed to be this whole Roman thing going on in the early 60s. When did Spartacus come out? Vegas had Caesar’s Palace. Was everyone traveling to Italy? Heck yeah there is more…
