My son has gutted my bathroom to put in a handicapped shower for my mom who will be getting out of physical therapy in about a month. I decided as long as he was taking out the tub and putting in this big handicapped shower I might as well redo the whole bathroom.

My home is an old farmhouse built in the late 30's. I would like to pick out wall color and ceramic tile floor color that coordinate and fit in with the age of the home. I am selecting dark wood old fashioned looking vanity and cupboard. I haven't bought them yet but I know I want dark wood. I would also like to pick some kind of old looking light bar or unit. He is going to put a ceiling exhaust fan with heater in.

Can you make some suggestions for tile and wall color? I'm inclined to go with dark grout for easier cleanup. I don't want to be scrubbing white grout with a toothbrush when I'm 80. Ha!

Is there a website that picks paint color for you to match tile color? Anything that is old fashioned looking. This is a small bathroom. I had a pocket sliding door put in to make more room for mom with her walker.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Brenda
