I am going with a similar look and am doing a carrara & nero marble basketweave faux rug for the floor. I will probably have darker bardiglio tiles around the edges of the room and there will be a cararra twisted rope border (and nero liner tiles on each side of the rope) to delineate the "rug". This way, the pattern does not overwhelm the room and it is a very pretty look in and of itself. I wish I had a mock up of it because even dh has not seen what I chose (other than the basketweave middle), lol. Oh... and am using dark gray grout because white would be just plain suicidal in our house. Maybe Bill V has done similar and has a pic?

I have also seen this product advertised in some of the recent decorating magazines, and I am interested in possibly using it to replace our outdated tile bathroom countertops. Has anyone used it or learned anything about it?

Thanks for the feedback- it kind of confirms what I had thought, but its always nice to get confirmation. I had toyed with painting the vanity a really dark brownblack, but went with the white. Dillydally-I have pretty traditional taste, at times transitional, but not contemporary at all so I would not care for the gray cabinetry. It would probably work nicely as you suggest, but not for me.Definitely thinking about framing the mirror.. I think I will likely go for the marble and some sort of silver tone faucet. This is a guest room that doesnt get used all that much, but is on the first floor. Selling is in the pipeline in a few years, so I do want to update but not spend big bucks. Jaymielo - thanks for mentioning that you have similar colors and they work!! And Yayagal -hilltop=clayladlie- thanks for the encouragement. I just need to get going with this. I sometimes get crazed with indecision and inertia- need to start the progress once more. Just as the shower curtain got me inspired, so will the marble. Now I can try to figure out the new lighting and faucet and hardware.... I agree that nickel or chrome will go great... If anyone has any great ideas there, particularly great deals, mention away. For what its worth, I think the vanity top has the holes for widespread faucet. (that wouldnt be my first choice, but its fine).

Well, I'd say you can easily recreate it. I think your inspiration picture bath has porcelain tiles..there is plenty of choice in the stores nowadays. If you pick white, or white and gray(like in certain marble or quartz that mimics it) countertop for the vanity, and do light gray porcelain tiles for example..you can go with bigger tiles for a modern look, or with smaller, for more traditional one. Porcelain tiles often also have texture that creates more friction-important in a place that gets wet. White and black or white and gray floor will look wonderful too, but probably a bit harder to keep clean. You can do this "chess board" look, or hex mosaics, or basketweave-I think it might look very cool in your house. But if you prefer one color on the floor-it will work perfectly well too. I'm saying "gray" because in my opinion it will play with a color of the vanity very nicely; I love this juxtaposition, but it can be anything really. What is the color of your hardwood floors? PS I don't think a white vanity is safer than any other vanity..:) It really depends on your preference, and on the house itself. But I must say-if you really love white, generally speaking, your choice immediately expands. I love colors-when it comes to materials, it gets trickier and more expensive. White and black or white and gray, or white and blue-that's where you have a sea of choices. Without overpaying. It is just so classic, and it's everywhere, and you can play with it to no end.
