1930s bathroom

[superlambanana]

Further to my earlier agh what do I do with my hideous bathroom thread, I got very excited to find earlier that the current hideous tiles are hiding some lovely brick-shaped tiles that I think are original. This got me thinking and the idea of having a 'vintage' bathroom now quite appeals... So, I have two questions:

1. What would give the bathroom a 30s look?

1. Will I be able to get the hideous tiles off without damaging the nice ones they're stuck on top of?

I have done a similar thing..it tends to be a plain tile with a black border (one thin strip one thicker) at either chest or eye level. Also a black tile skirting. Google Images are your friend....type 1930s bathroom into google and you will get an instant idea of the look.

Think Hercule Poirot.

Thanks have googled pics. Not sure why I didn't do that before...

But how do I get the top layer of tiles off?? Any ideas?
