Pros / Cons Banjo Vanity Top?
Comments (9)Thank you all so very much for your opinions both pro and con. And seeing your pics of actual banjos in a home, not a hotel, is priceless. Again, Thank you! I was trying to put into words what I thought the banjo top would do in our teensy bathroom and Bob_cville wrote it perfectly: "It really helped draw the space together visually." When standing in the bathroom I get the feeling I'm standing in a tall refrigerator shipping carton. My husband can stand in the middle, stretch out his arms and reach all walls. Tall but small room. I didn't account for the tile floor and thickness of the lid on the toilet tank so I'll actually have almost 11 inches of space to work on the guts of the toilet should something happen (being it's a brand new Toto I'm hoping 'something' doesn't happen for quite a long time). There is only room for a 25" wide vanity - tiled top with 1" hang-over on sides and front. Our reason for considering the Banjo ---By the time we add the 16" round sink (no holes for faucets) and the faucets in the tiled top, that leaves us room for maybe (hopefully) our liquid pump soap container. In this photo --- Window wall is 3" to the right of the toilet. Shower curb starts immediately behind the door. Again, thank you all....See MoreBlack Toilet - pros/cons?
Comments (30)Ok, I'll probably never be able to show my face her again, but here goes... My current home was built in 1950, but had a major remodel in the mid 80's. (Think mauve and lots of it.) There are two bathrooms. One had a beige toilet and the master had a - you guessed it - mauve toilet. I could not WAIT to replace the toilets, but it was not just the sheer butt ugliness of the colors. It was at least in part because I could not tell what color my pee was. So, my advice is that if knowing the color of your pee on an ongoing basis is even of the slightest interest to you - go for a white toilet....See Morecorian integrated sink/countertops -- pros/cons
Comments (95)Hi All! I have learned sooooo much on this site. Thank you Mr. Corlett. I have had Corian countertops since 1998 with a granite composite under mount sink. Love the Corian, not the sink so much because it seems yellowed since installed. But I do a lot of canning so the sink has put up with a lot of beet juice and boiling hot water with minimal distress, no cracks. Just clean with Soft Scrub and bleach sometimes. We are now building a house. I am again using Corian for the countertops. I am considering either a Corian integrated sink 850 or an LG-HiMacs integrated sink 3118. I do not like the sink drain in the center of the sink as in the 3118 but that sink is an inch and a half longer than the Corian so better for skillet handles to fit in sink. Do you have an opinion as to the staining or cracking or other issue of either product I might consider before making my final decision? Thank you.
