Show me your kids' baths

16 years ago

I would love to see pix of kid/guest baths. I am trying to decide on fixtures. I am deciding if I should get wide spread or the two handles on plate (name for this??). I prefer wide spread but am not sure it is worth the extra money for guest/kids' baths. Also interested in what vanities you used and finishes, etc.

Thanks!

You know, I always have meant to thank this forum for their help when we re-did our kids bath and master this year!! We re-did the kids bath with their help,sledgehammers in tow! All teens, so you won't find ducks or frogs...we used an ancient asian altar table with bowl sink for the vanity...much more forgiving than you would imagine! Lots of subway tile to replace the 'interesting' brown 70's tile. We followed suit in the master bath, but used an old chinese butcher table for the vanity.

Anyways...thanks for all the great info on this forum!!

Here is a link that might be useful: some bath re-do pix

Love your bathrooms! They are very serene. I was just looking for dressers to convert into vanities. It was fun to see your tables. They are beautiful. You have the Zen vibe going. It is great. Thanks for sharing.

Show me your bath: 12x12 tile, different patterns on floor/wall?

I missed this question so hopefully I'm not too late. They're all 1/8" thick grout line. The tile on the floor is just a tiny bit off of the color of the tile on the walls (because the granite place went out of business and I had to find different tile) so the floor shows the grout lines a little bit more than the wall tile does (it's a perfect blend there). The spacers were the same though on both :) My counters in that bath are crema marfil...I just love the stuff :) In person you can't tell that the two tiles are from differnt quaries, but when I take pictures I can see one is just a tiny bit lighter than the other (the flash accentuates it) which is what makes the grout stand out that tiny bit.

We're still in the middle of it, obviously, but here is our Emser tile in style Moda, color Perla, w/our Athens Silver marble countertops from Ann Sacks. There will be large marble tiles in the shower as well, to balance out the Emser gray that's already in there. You can't see the marble well here, it's really quite distinctive; but here's the overall effect (there will be marble on that side wall inside the shower you see to the left there): This is a close-up of the marble - I thought I wanted classic carrera, but I fell in love w/the sweeping pattern of this instead: You can get a feel for the contrast here, even though the marble isn't shown well - this is my vanity:

Great pictures!! Thanks all! She is my first so I'm a rookie. I've always tried to buy minimal items of good quality for myself...but when it comes to little ones...I'm not sure how to balance it! I originally purchased a white coverlet from garnet hill and am still holding on to it...it's pretty! I just think a duvet on top of it might be too much at her age...but the coverlet isnt enough. Hence the reason im on a quilt hunt at the moment. If i keep the coverlet, i like the idea of a thin comforter underneath...they have some fun bright colored ones at garnet hill as well. I saw their printed sheet sale too, sueB! I agree...etsy is awesome for pillows! I have a few saved in my favorites;) I'm going to check out a few of your suggestions. Thanks again!!

What a soothing blue! Thank you for sharing. I like your square sinks.

Mine is still in process (being tiled as we speak) but the sink has a faucet with a spray head on it which I thought might be handy for clean up. It's undermounted into a granite countertop.

His granite:

Shower/Tub in progress:

He'll have a Jacuzzi 20" deep tub/shower (spoiled thing) and all the fixtures are either brushed nickle (towel bars etc) and stainless (faucets/sprayers, etc).

HMG....What a fun and funky use of metro tile! Creative! I love it!

Igloo...big YES to the spray faucet in the bath...lovely tile too!

Anna...what is that border in the shower? Glass raindrop pebbles?

HMG that color scheme is so fun :) Wonderful for the kids (and adults LOL) and Anna I too love that tile...what is it?

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one thinking of the kids as I finish our remodel. So many people say "it's just for the kids" but he's one of our family and he deserves a special place too :)

And that spary faucet...it's in the bath AND the sink :)

The border is blue & white glass pebbles. They came on a 12x12 sheet, which my installer cut into strips and then moved the pebbles around a bit where the strips joined.
