Our 2 1/2 week bathroom reno
Comments (16)The shelves.... We originally wanted a 30" x 12" niche but when we opened up the wall, there was a septic vent smack in the middle. We decided on 2 niches instead, I wassn't about to mess around with those pipes. When figuring the tile layout for the design I wanted, our friend suggested that we oversize the niches so the tile would lay out nice - he suggested 18 x 18 niches and I freaked. But the 12x12 would not have been big enough for the 3 kids and all their stuff. He suggested a granite shelf on the bottom and then one above it to make a shelf for soap, razors, etc. We talked about the length and width of the shelves, but never the depth. When I picked up the shelves from the granite fabricator, I freaked - they were 1 1/4" thick just like the countertop was being made. Friend said, don't worry, they would be perfect. They are. I honestly wouldn't want them any thinner. When he laid the tile, the bottom shelf slid in tightly and then he cut the bullnose on the side and the back tiles so the top granite shelf sits on the cut tiles all around. The tiles abouve the top shelf are full 6 x 6 and as you can see, we have enough height for those huge oversized shampoo and conditioner bottles. There is kerdi behind so no worries about water issues and they were all caulked and all afterwards. Being the over-emotional one, I figured this design that had been in head my for 2 years was ruined when I saw how thick those shelves were, but I wouldn't want them any different. I think they 'fit' the design perfectly as is. And I just love the niches. Before, the kids had a tiny corner shelf and bottles were all over the place, now there is enough room for everything plus space for guests when they are here....See MoreConnecting stained cabinet crown with painted crown in room
Comments (4)Gorgeous hutch! Do you have a link to more photos of your kitchen? I'd love to take a look around! I was also worried about upcoming molding transition issues (2 different paint colors in my case). But I see from the photo that it will likely be a non issue. No one will notice it but me, and even I won't notice it after the first day. It looks perfectly fine! Nothing odd about it! :-) Francy...See MoreI am so stuck! - art over my fireplace
Comments (21)Iceanna, I drooled over those fireplace surrounds in the gallery - breath-taking antiques. Franksmom and Kswl - I do not want to hang those portraits over the fireplace. The fireplace is gas and emits a lot of heat - and a lot of it goes up (ask the poor fresh wreath I hung over the fireplace this Christmas). The woman is my grandmother and probably is 115 years old. I am afraid of the heat. Kswl - there are only two chairs upholstered the same - the two flanking the fireplace. I gave a lot of thought to comments here - a lot - and then DH decided to go shopping with me on Friday. He very rarely goes as he figures everything is a matter of opinion - and he couldn't figure out why I wanted to replace the piece currently there. Anyway - off we went in the snow. I looked at a lot of prints and saw this one. Were the colors good? Yes, perfect. More importantly, did it reflect me. I looked at the scene and immediately thought old, calm, serene, could almost see people walking up the street in days gone by. Life is more than intense right now and I am going for quiet at home! So we bought it knowing we could return it -but alone it seemed to small. We trooped through a few more stores and started looking at scones. He liked these as they mimic the fireplace surround which we do love. We came home and I told him I was going to wait until my DILs came today - he told me he liked it and "just hang it" - so we did. I do like it. Is it forever? Probably not. Will I always keep looking? Yes, but I do like it. The sconces look amazing lit (am going to look for battery-operated candles). So for now, I like it and certainly better than the purple print, which now has a new home. I don't know how the colors are going to come through but here goes: For years I have been wanting to take the ugly mirrors off my dresser - the picture is perfect - picks up the colors in the comforter: I still need to "dress" the dresser ---...See MoreUppers, 36" with 2pc or 39" with 1pc crown?
Comments (10)If you are removing soffits, that means the ceiling will need to be patched (or redone), so you really don't know the ceiling height or how level your ceiling will be at this point. Give yourself some wiggle room. If you have a very small amount of space above your cabinets, then any differences will be noticeable. We used 3-piece molding in our kitchen. The bottom was a decorative short piece, then a flat/filler piece, and the top (against the ceiling) was a more traditional crown molding. The filler piece is what changed - we had about a 1" difference throughout the kitchen but by only varying the height of the filler piece, you cannot tell. If we had tried to use every inch and then had only an inch or two left for the crown molding, the difference would have been obvious/noticeable! Regarding the # of shelves - you can easily order additional shelves - they're not expensive. We ordered several additional shelves....See Morelittleonefb
