Bathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums! (pic
Comments (56)This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage....See MoreBathroom Reno: Toilet Choice; Tiling Walls; Wainscoting Height
Comments (5)Thank you very much! We met with the contractor yesterday and the plan is: *Tiling walls: We will tile around the toilet and behind the vanity as well as on that right-hand wall. I think it would look odd if we didn't, and it is a splash zone of sorts, right by the tub/shower. *Tile height on the walls: We decided on 40" because the vanity will be 36" high and that will allow for a 4" backsplash. *Melle - isn't that iridescent tile crazy? RE the vanity, I'm sorry to hear that about the Godmorgon. Ours, the dark black/brown color, has regular handles, not integrated ones. I wonder if that will make a difference? We are going to purchase the Godmorgon high cabinet as well - it is only 15"W by 11"D and so will occupy little floor and visual space. *RE toilets: Maybe you are right that I should re-think the comfort vs. regular height question. But don't family bathrooms usually have regular height toilets? I'm thinking of resale value down the line too. Thanks!...See MoreBathroom - good bones but needs "decorating"
Comments (7)The Theo in the Quartz colorway came from Tonic Living today. I like the fabric but it just isn't right with the wall color. Tibbrix, you've reinforced what I really want to do. Nice white shower curtain. I'm in the south. If it doesn't move, we monogram it. So I may have the shower curtain monogrammed either in white or to match the silver sage walls. I always use only white towels. I have a nice mirrored box I can put on the vanity along with some silver/chrome accessories. A thick, white bath mat to be used when showering, and I'm done! I wasn't considering actually carpeting the bathroom. Ewww...cooties! I've seen some bathrooms with small oriental rugs in them, usually in front of the vanity. I want to like them, but for some reason, they always look a little skeevy to me....See Moregrey -white bathroom and what color?
Comments (16)Thanks! I agree the blue looks really nice- that is one of the contenders though I was thinking of a paler blue. I am now of course having strong second thoughts that I probably should have painted the vanity dark dark brown. I dont think I have it in me to re-paint it now. I think the pale blue with the grey and white can look very spa-like as someone suggested........Threegrad- what finish is the light fixture over the mirror? It looks really nice, and I am noticing that it looks orb-ish and it still seems to go very nicely with the other silver tones in the bath(faucets and hardware)... is it orb or is it the monitor messing with me?...See Moreyayagal
