Looks very nice! We had 12x12 travertine tile cut down to 6x12 for our hall bathroom floor--gives the stone a different look in that size. A nice twist! I am sorry your contractor fought you on the niches. My DH actually made/framed-out ours himself. It really shouldn't have added extra time for an experienced contractor. All in all though, your new bathroom still looks terrific!

I've had marble honed and polished in a couple of houses. As long as the area is well-taped off to protect from dings, go with refinishing the floor last. If you try to protect a newly polished floor during other phases of reno, you'll probably get adhesive marks along the edges and risk scratching the refinished marble.

Does anyone kno of a good place to buy Bath/kitchen bathroom vanity with granite/marble in Atlanta? THanks in advance.

I like BM Classic Gray. Forgot to add that I'm glad you posted this as I was thinking of posting the same question. We're remodeling our master bath and using a RH weathered oak vanity with a carrara marble top, and I can't decide what paint color to use on the walls. I'm honestly thinking of just using the White Dove trim color on the walls too, so I don't mess it up!
