Three random design questions w/floorplan pic
Comments (5)On the tile -- I love those 3-tile layouts and use them whenever possible. We finished a bath about 6 months ago (much smaller than yours) using a two-size layout (12x12 & 6x6) with some off-angle (not diagonal) walls -- so I went through your same concerns. But we went ahead with the two-size layout and I love the way it looks. In a large open space, you can pick up and appreciate the tile pattern. But in a smaller room with interrupting walls and different angles, the tiles will look 'random' rather than 'patterned' -- and if you don't object to that (I don't), it can be a great look. (Your tiler will curse you, though, 'cause it's hard to keep track of where you are in the pattern!) I'd lay it straight rather than diagonal, to give the place a greater sense of 'organization' and so your tiler can have stable reference points to work from. On the glass, are you asking if the door should be between two fixed glass panels, or one door and one panel? I'd defintiely go with the one fixed panel and door -- or just a larger door. As to what side of the door should have the hinges, either one is fine -- either glass to glass or glass to wall. My personal preference it to be able to open the door just a crack to get a towel. I'm not quite understanding your mirror post -- but I would try not to let the makeup mirror interfere with 'proper' sconce placement. The sconces are decorative *and* functional, and the makeup mirror is more flexible....See MoreExtendable Makeup Mirror
Comments (6)Mine extends but I never need to do that as it is on the wall right next to my sink, so I pull out my make-up drawer and face right. Having to always adjust a mirror is a PIA. Hotel ones are never in the right place for me. If you have to tilt it you will have to bend your head forward or back to use it easily. Would that be comfortable for you day after day? Can you hold yours in the place you would like it to be then mount it at that height. This is your bathroom and the next person can move it to suit them. -Babka This post was edited by Babka on Fri, Nov 21, 14 at 15:09...See MoreLooking for LED Lighted Wall Mounted Make-up Mirror
Comments (4)Jewel1654: Thanks for the reply, the Kimball and Young seems to be a really nice mirror although the pricing on Amazon.com is presently $395.00.........Ouch!. I maybe able to find it lower but doubtfull at $243.00. Babka: Thanks for the reply and it seems you also like the Kimball and Young. I was thinking 10X since my wifes eyesight is really poor and when she applies her eye makeup she's normally around 6" away from the mirror in order to focus without her glasses. I'll have to review the magnification charts to see if 5X is better suited but even if I doubled my budget the K&Y is still a bit high for my budget at $400.00 shipped....See MoreLED lighting for a makeup mirror
Comments (1)We purchased an LED mirror light to use for a variety of functions. We can change the lighting to mimic different types of light. The LEDs are covered - I think they would be harsh if not covered....See More4kids4us
