Last minute floor tile decision ... Please help!
Comments (3)I'd go with a different tile. Do be careful with that Marazzi. We don't really know anything about your bathroom, the dimensions, etc, the colors, the style. So it's tough to advise. I do like to shift gears with size and pattern between walls and floor, especially when using square tiles. Generically, if you're doing a simple stacked pattern of 6-by-6's in the shower, consider a larger tile (12's to 16's) on the floor in a diamond pattern. If the 6's are going in the shower in a diamond pattern, then consider a linear stacked pattern on the floor. Or you can match. Running bond on the walls, and a running bond on the floors. If your floor is not dimensionally equal, then avoid a diamond pattern on the floor, it accentuates out-of-square walls. Best, Mongo...See MoreI need to make a few last minute changes - Help please1
Comments (40)If you're talking about the bathroom off the Rumpus room, the only thing I think you really need to do is make it a tiny bit wider. I would bring the bathroom wall out even with the edge of the Rumpus Room's built-in cabinets so that there is a little more "standing room" in front of the toilet and the shower is a little bigger. Then, if window placement will allow you to do so, for the convenience of guests staying in the guest room, you might mirror image the whole bathroom vertically so that the sink (and door) are up close to the guest room and the shower is down by the built-in cabinets. That would save your guests a few steps to reach the toilet in the middle of the night. Now stop obsessing! There ARE only so many ways to arrange a toilet, a shower, and a vanity. LOL! The whole upstairs looks fantastic. Great theater room, nice large play room with plenty of room for a bar sink and fridge and storage of games/toys, a balcony that'll be big enough to actually sit out on to enjoy the view, AND easy access to the unfinished attic! I think you've done good! Now how about having your architect revise the elevation drawings and post those just so we can see them? I'm looking forward to watching you build....See MorePlease help with a last minute soap dispenser decision.
Comments (12)I have had a soap dispenser for many years at my sink. I don't remember the brand but when we did some renovations 2 1/2 years ago, the same old dispenser went into the new granite counter top and it still works great. I don't have one at our lake home and I miss it. I found out about the Never MT attachments so you can have a large jug of dish soap and not bother always filling the small bottle. You used to be able to get 2 or 3 of them for a better price or free shipping (can't remember exactly). I asked a couple friends if they wanted one while I was ordering mine and they didn't have soap dispensers. But only because they never even knew of them or thought of them. I find I am often using the dish soap to wash my hands when working with raw meat or something. It's antibacterial and I don't even keep hand soap there. It doesn't seem to dry out my hands or anything....See MoreLast minute decision 9' or 10' walls.
Comments (13)For me the price isn't much different. I don't believe the price difference is small. Not when you look at the big picture: taller ceilings require more /taller everything: taller windows, taller doors, taller (or stacked) cabinets, more tile, larger artwork, taller drapes or shades or shutters. Up-sizing these things comes at a higher price. Then comes the never-ending up-size: more heating, more cooling costs. I personally think that 10' ceilings only work on a really large house And often not then. More is not automatically better....See MoreKatie S
