I'm renovating my bathroom to include a large corner tub. I am not sure what to do for the sides and top rim around the tub... I've seen it be tiled with ceramic tile which looks nice, but I don't know that I'd be able to make it look professional. I saw one display that had fomica sheets to box it in, and that looked pretty good to me. Would that hold out the water sufficiently? One other option I've seen is to have formica sheets, or tiles on the top, and then tongue and groove cedar going around the upright part surrounding the tub. I liked that too. Would it be a problem having cedar that close to the water? I have 3 kids that like to splash!
There will be a shower running into it, so I will need some sort of tiling on the surrounding walls. I was thinking of that tile wallboard. I'm afraid if I put too many different types of things in there it will look too busy and unmatching.
Any suggestions? I'm also redoing the floor - maybe linoleum?
