Please post photos, that would be the best way. Did you see the one posting where the poster spent $75 to refresh/redo her bathroom that was done in avocado 70's green? After her touches her bathroom looked absolutely gorgeous, so yes it is very possible to do an inexpensive remodel/redo and improve it. Of course that poster had talent and vision, which I personally don't have, but maybe you can get some ideas from some of the talented and inspired folks to help you. I can tell you that taking down tile is not hard at all unless it is the type put in in the 1920 through 1950 that is concrete/then metal lathe and that stuff is like iron. Most tile is thinset over sheetrock on walls so that stuff pops off really easily.

I can't believe it - I have the exact same bathroom you do, and was just getting ready to post my ideas this morning to get some feedback! Please, any and everyone, I would love your ideas and comments, you would be helping two posters for the price of one! So...here are my ideas for dealing with my miniscule master bath: - Remove tub and replace with a walk-in shower with sliding glass doors. - Replace almond square tiles with white subway tiles. The tiles would go up 6 or 7 feet in the shower area, and then 42" up the wall in the remaining bathroom, with a chair rail on top. (You might be able to see the 42" line I drew on the wall to show where the tile would go up to) - Replace vanity with Kohler Memoirs 24" pedestal sink and install matching Memoirs toilet (round, not elongated as the bathroom is too small) - Remove medicine cabinet on the side wall and remove large mirror and replace large mirror with 31'x21' recessed medicine cabinet with sliding mirror doors (that is the piece of paper taped to the wall) - Install either sconce lighting or lighting over the mirror. - Install custom built-in open shelving behind the door for storage, from floor-to-ceiling (where my necklaces are hanging now). You might be able to see the line I drew on the wall that shows where the shelving would be. - Install hex tile or perhaps basketweave on the floor of the bathroom and shower. They would be ceramic as that seems to be the lowest maintenance option. Here are my questions: - Any opinions on whether to tile up 6-7" or all the way to the ceiling in the shower area? - Opinions on the medicine cabinet? I was also thinking of a large mirror on that wall with a shelf running the length under the mirror at the 42" tile mark on the walls. Ideas on shelving material? - Opinions overall? Should I keep the tub, for example? Finally, I got my inspiration from a mrslimestone on this board, I love her bathroom (see link below). Here is my existing bathroom: Here is a link that might be useful: My finished 'glamour vintage' bathroom by mrslimestone

I have a 18 year old cat who was diagnosed with senile dementia 3 yr.s ago. After multiple trips to the vet for what I was sure was a UTI as she stopped peeing in the litter box. She'll poop in it but that is it. And it must be scooped immediately upon the poopy drop. My solution was to get pee pads (the human kind-they are better) I buy them by the caseload and I'm sure Costco thinks I have a real issue for someone my age-Ha! I Fold in half and tuck the loose end under the litterbox so there is about 10 inches of doubled soft pad for her to do her business on. And I replace as soon as I see it's soiled. Usually 2x a day. Also, cat is on valium to quiet her nightime howling like she's a b***h in heat episodes. and if she gets really loud, well I can take one myself! I know it's getting to be time, but she's not in pain-just nuts. Of And i swtiched to the domed litterbox too, but I actually put it in the bathtub of an unused bathroom so if by chance there are any "oops" I can just clean & wash it out. MUCH better, works for crazy old kitty & works for me. It has stopped the accidents. For some reason she likes to pee on the pads. And for pet stains & odors get "natures miracle" This stuff works great, I even use it for laundry stains as it is an enzyme based cleaner. I buy a big jug and keep some in a spray bottle. It works great on just about any type of stain. The vet & I can't figure it out. Cats are odd creatures. ~Cat ;0)

Thank everyone, your comments always help! Breezy... love, ove , LOVE your kitchen and yes, that is the Carrera marble I was expecting.. but again, it really is my fault for not really looking close enough at the slab! He said it was Carrera, it looked pretty white in the sunlight, and not so gray. The cabinet maker will be adding onto the legs so they touch, he feels it will be barely noticeable, thanks for asking! boxer, thanks - I guess my dream is blended now! LOL I'm not willing to spend more time or money on the project at this point, and it actually does help having people say it looks right, maybe I'll look at it in a different view now..? rococo, cArrera.. should have known the spelling by now! I actually googled it before posting and it is a very misspelled word! LOL palimpsest, that is the look I'm trying to achieve! everyone else, thank you for your positive comments. I will try and look at it a little differently! As I said, I am finding that I'm nit picking every single thing.. I need to stop and realize I'm probably the only one who theses things jump at!
