Help!!!! Need ideas for traditional bathroom

I have to make decisions soon for my main bathroom renovation. I will start by saying I am the most indecisive person ever!!!

Some things I need help with.

Tile....... this really sets the tone of the bathroom and I want it to be timeless. Nothing catches my eye on decorating websites. Can anyone share a pic of a realistic bathroom they love? When I look at places like houzz.com the bathrooms are HUGE and a lot of the traditional bathrooms use marble (which we don't want to use). I have a split level with a standard size bathroom.

Bath tub.....anyone do a cast iron tub? My husband insists on cast iron. Problem is it limits the size. The height for cast irons only go to 16 inches; whereas, the acrylics can go to 20 high. What do think is better? I higher tub or the quality of cast iron?

Sink....oval or square? Square looks modern to me but they are bigger.

HELP!!!!

If you have inspiration pics please post.

Re: Help!!!! Need ideas for traditional bathroom

you both seem to have different tastes but it seems more like traditional with a modern flair to it..

I would keep the tones in the beiges and get white sinks and tub with oil rubbed bronze fixtures..

I have beigey (on the white side) marble in my bathroom and I loved it.. whtie cabinets, uba tuba granite (looks lovely but a b!tch to clean) and double sinks (white with oil rubbed bronze) the shower has granite inlay around the top.. the tub is built in.. Chat Icon

I've always loved the look of a black and white bathroom. I think a cast iron tub fits nicely with this style, but its not a necessity.

You can do the white octagon tiles for the floor in a porcelain i/o marble. And do white subway tiles on the wall (if you're going halfway up) These have a timeless look:
As for a tub we have a cast iron one that's huge 6ft but it's an antique american standard tub that we got re-glazed. Also the free standing pedestal sinks look gorgeous they can be square w/rounded corners, gives you some room on top as "counter" space. Look at restoration hardware for ideas for vintage looking hardware and bathroom furniture - vanities, med cabinets ect.
