One of my good friends sent me a text yesterday asking if the pink-ish tile in her parents bathroom was the same as what is in our kids upstairs hall bathroom and if so, what colors would I pair with it to make it less dated?  Her mom wants to spruce up the space but doesn't plan to renovate.  I feel like the same tile guy must have been traveling all over the southeast peddling this stuff because it's everywhere.  And honestly, so many of us dream of an newly gutted all-white tiled haven but that's just not going to happen any time soon.  But we also want something decent enough for right now.

Side note, I've heard some really good stuff about painting tile and I actually want to try my hand at that soon.  Many people aren't going to do that step for many reasons but are still  looking for a way to make what they have work better.  So I thought it would be helpful to show a plan for making a beige-y pink tile bathroom look more modern!

Again, I obviously wouldn't seek this tile out but there are certainly ways to make it work.  Do you have an old bathroom you have leave as is for now?  Do you try to downplay the color as well?
