Anxious for Spring

Maybe {just maybe} we're just a bit too anxious for spring............

especially since parts of the river still looks like this?!

Needless to say we have been cooped up long enough {we've had it-we're going crazy over here} so we went fishing last night-- in our snow boots and coats and gloves and hats and many many many layers of clothing!

I gotta admit even though it was cold-- it was tons of fun!- I've missed just taking pictures for the fun of it and the kids were able to relieve some pent up energy!{always a plus}

It's fun to be able to go out with friends and just enjoy Idaho! This winter has been a mild one- and I've loved it! No snow on the roads is always a good thing!

Spring is definitely getting closer-- I can feel it- and man am I excited for it!

{not as excited as Dave is -- he's crazy with the fishing fever!}

Opinions. Opinions needed.

So we have this { the house-  the outside isn't quite done yet :)}

Which has caused me to drink way to much of this lately {hmm yummy Mnt. Dew aka. my stress reliever} 

 As I've tried to make about the million of zillion decisions that come with said house :)

Honestly I'm a little overwhelmed- I am a very visual person so to not be able to see something and make a decision just about kills me.  

And I really am torn on what I want--- Well let me rephrase that a little- 

I know what I'd really want but I have to be reasonable here- gotta please Dave too and some things are just to expensive-- Gotta be smart on what I want to spend  $$ on and what is just a bit too much of an  indulgence.

{I'm sure everyone can relate to that-- I'd love to have bead board ceilings and exposed beams and wainscoting everywhere- but ya that isn't likely going to happen-- cept I almost have Dave sold on some bead board ceilings in a few years :) yay! and I won't lie I do have quite a bit of wainscoting already planned  }

So here's my big dilemma right now, and what's holding me up a bit on making my other decisions,

TILE. TILE. TILE!

{we really don't have much tile going into our house- I'm a big hardwood floors fan!- but in our bathrooms and laundry room though tile is just more practical and smart.

Master Bath

 is pretty much decided-- it's a 18x18 tile that I'll lay on the diagonal and we'll edge around some area's with this glass tile mixture- and the back splash will be the white subway tile. Easy simple- decision made I'm happy.

But than we have

The Kids Bath------ HELP PLEASE {pretty pretty pretty please}

the kids bath kinda has two separate area's-- one that has the tub and toilet- and than the other area that has the vanity and linen closet-

Here's one of my really crappy sketchy drawings of what the vanity area is gonna look like.

 Dave likes big tiles {I think it has something to do with them being easier to lay :) }

But I'd kinda like to do something fun----- I was thinking the mini mosaic tiles laid in the bath area and than bigger tiles in the vanity area with maybe a strip at the entry door way to unite the two.

Question #1

The mosaic tile has a bit of blue grey color - which is fine right now I'll probably paint the walls blue anyways--- but I know those colors will go out of style- and walls are easy to repaint-- flooring though not so easy to redo.

Question #2

 Or should I go with the other tile style which has more neutral colors in it-- do I do that all along in the bathroom area or do I just do stripes of it?

Question #3

 I really like the look of the vintage hex tiles and especially penny tiles should I just go with those--

 but than I worry about the care and clean up of them-- that's a lot of grout that can get dirty- and white-- on a bathroom floor- do you think it'll be very quick to get yucky- especially with little kids?

Or should I do something like this- with bars of glass tile and a neutral tile?

If you can't tell I am having a really rough time making this decision! There are just to many options! 

So Opinions Please! Pretty Please :)
