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 MoreChoose Bathroom Furniture and Bathroom Showers For Relaxation

Comments (50)We did look into it, but in a gated HOA and the matter of cutting a hole right smack in the middle of the attic storage space above the bathroom that would not only need a specified roofing company but render the storage unusable for anything but small narrow things that could be maneuvered around the exhaust fan stuff...yeah, ridiculously expensive and not sure why the developer never considered just putting fans in when the place was being built back in 1977 and completed 1978. The bath vanity where the sink was and the counter top on the cabinets below the bathroom window was this weird brown abstract pattern laminate, I had a cast iron tub put in with a tile surround and frameless glass slide doors after the fiberglass monobody shower and tub side wall had been previously patched and was cracking, the guy hired for putting up the tile nearly sealed my cat inside the wall but after discovering her in there and removing the drywall scraps of which none were attached to studs the cat was saved and the drywall was done correctly...the previous owner had the wax ring on the toilet crack and before I had the ceilings scraped of popcorn to smooth texture you could see where the toilet fell through the floor if you looked up at the ceiling in the front hall...the 70s were not the best time frame if one is looking for developers and builders making wise decisions in home building. :p...See MoreBathroom Design Plans back from K&D Designer
Comments (33)"Must have is 2 vanities, toilet closet, tub and separate shower. Vanity and toilet closet are marriage peace makers." My idea kept both vanities. I simply suggested switching the location of the vanity with the tub on that left wall. If you must have full walls and a door for the toilet, you must. I'm not a bath designer so don't know the minimum footprint required for a water closet. Did I read correctly that your husband stores clothes in his bathroom vanity drawers? Does the bedroom lack clothes storage? Without changing the location or size of any element, I'm not sure how many different layouts the designer could have proposed....See MoreRebecca Mitchell Interiors
