What is the proper way to deal with the join between the wall tiles and
the floor tiles?

If it's upstairs, use a bead of silicone. Grout will crack - there's
always movement between the wall and suspended floor.
I'd second that..
If it's downstairs and concrete floor, do whatever you want.


And a slightly more stupid question, but since I've seen it done a few
times, I thought I'd ask
Is using skirting for aesthetic reasons in a tiled bathroom a bad idea?

Up to you - I think it would look odd, but it's your house, do whatever
you want!


Looked ok to me, but that doesn't mean anything , just thought it
stopped it looking too much like a public loo...

Or you could use half-height floor tiles to make a tiled skirting.
I'd noticed in europe that this is quite common, although they typically use
1/3rd of a say 12" square tile.
So I thought I'd give it a go in my recent bathroom refurb.
Everyone who has seen it, inc swmbo who is not easily pleased, says it looks
good..
Cutting those floor tiles was not easy though, even with a diamond cutter.
BTW in my case the floor and wall tiles were virtually the same thickness.
