kgwlisa, that's exactly what I was worried about - all those cut edges. If Bill V were my tile guy, I wouldn't hesitate, but... Anyway, I think we could afford to use that tile as a field tile, but that's a LOT of green - not sure I want to use that much of such a vibrant color. As for the idea of going modern in the bath, I've thought about it, but the rest of the apartment is definitely pre-war looking and I have no plans to renovate it anytime soon, if ever. There's something I love about period-feeling baths anyway, so I think we're going to stick with that (even if BF doesn't like the English-telephone-looking tub filler/handheld, LOL!). BTW, does anyone know anything about Elements of Design fixtures? They have a ton of really beautiful period fixtures but I'm concerned about buying crap... Here's a snapshot of some tile that I taped to the bathroom wall to try to get an idea of what my original wood-look floor/white subways/glass accent might look like: I know it's a terrible picture, and unfortunately the colors aren't really true, but I really like the blue-green tiles on the right with the faux wood and white (they're much bluer in real life). They look great with chrome fixtures, too. I think I'm going to go ahead with this color combo - I just need to decide whether to use the glass tiles in mini-subway size or 1x1s. I'm also going to browse a bit more this weekend to see if I can find something similar in a ceramic tile. Wish me luck!

cjc123, sabjimata, flwrs-n-co, jkom51, mtnrdredux thanks! We are really enjoying the new space. It is so much more functional and easy to work in. Ginger25 and jenhp: "Blizzard" is warmer than the pure white or organic white from Caesarstone. I think it works better with the rusty Danby marble than those purer whites. Here are some closeups of the Caesarstone, as requested (these are in artificial light): You have to get REALLY close up (3 inches in this case) to see the fine speckles. From farther back but as close as a foot, it reads solid white: Elba1, the uppers are 37 inches tall. The trim between the cabinets and ceiling is under 2 inches, just enough to tie the cabinets to a little bit of a crooked ceiling. There is also a 1 inch light rail underneath the uppers, to hide the under cabinet lights. The ceiling is 8 feet. I thought about incorporating some glass, but I wanted to avoid breaking up the space, for a more contemporary look. If my ceilings were higher, I would have considered a top glass section as well!

I was there when he started putting down the CBU (I helped put in the Nuheat), asked why he didn't put thinset b/t the OSB and Hardi b/c that's what the Hardi instructions said to do. DB and I had just done the bathroom less than 2 months b4. Anyway, guy said he's been doing this for 35 yrs (yeah, the wrong way!) and put plenty of screws in, it'll be fine. Then when I noticed the problems 6 months later he said it was structural, then when he finally came out (3 months after that) to fix it he said someone walked on it too soon (I made sure all the subs knew the schedule, to my knowledge no one came in w/i 24 hours, after he grouted I came in but only walked where he laid the red rosin paper on and told me I could go). Anyway, the warranty period is long over - should I let him know we've got a new (continguous) area getting loose, try to get him to come back? Even if he won't come back, should I notify him? How long can I live with this? I really am trying to finish the rest of the house, don't want to get into ripping up 400sf of tile in the most-used rooms right now. If I notify him of the continued problems, do I have any recourse to take him to small claims say next year? Or is there a chance that if I replace another 10-15sf tile now, I can get away with it for another couple of years til I finish the master bath (and have someone who knows what they're doing lay new tile), or even another 8-10 years, when we might be doing kitchen reno (new countertops - another installer screw-up, another thread)? I hate to damage the 30sf of Nuheat that I paid the electrician $800 to install to rip up loose tile when the tile over the Nuheat is fine. Thanks
