And speaking of bathrooms...

 We weren't speaking of bathrooms, but these are some pictures of our basement bathroom.  All the tile is stock tile.  By the time we got to the bedrooms and bath, we were on a tighter budget, so I worked with the tile guys and by turning the large tiles and adding stock mosaic, we were able to make it look very custom.  I did buy black glass tiles and we took out some tile and added black in a pattern.

This view shows some of the glass wall and a picture that had the colors in the room.  Stock mirror and granite vanity top that included the sink.  Oiled bronze faucet.  There was no room for a towel rack, so I used a toilet paper holder.  Works great for a hand towel.

Here is a view of the glass block wall.  We don't have a shower door.  There is no natural light in this bathroom.  Glass block was the solution for light when you are in the shower and for not having a shower door.  (highly recommended).  Another tip:  You may not have noticed that the towel rack is installed onto a board that is screwed into the wall.  The board is routered and painted to match the wall.  This way, we don't have the towel rack pulling out of the wall.  (also highly recommended).  Note the bead board trim.

So... whether you call it "the loo", "the WC", the "restroom" or "bathroom",  have a little fun, use your imagination and see what you can come up with.
