Final bathroom decisions...
Thank you for all the help so far. It has really helped me with my list and decisions!
Current Bathroom:
Turns out the contractor had a delay. so they will be coming sometime this week.
things decided:
Tile (for shower walls, shower floor, floor, around tub):
Keeping the white tub.
New Toilet ordered - nothing too fancy, white.
Ordered shower and tub hardware from Delta in venetian Bronze. Decided to go with their corner shower shelf with grab bar.
I have been to a few vanity places. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a vanity, sinks, counter and medicine cabinet I like for under about 10k total I estimate. Not in the budget now. Would love to wait on this remodel but the shower started leaking about 2 months after we moved in. :(
So I am going with Ikea for now figuring we can replace later if we want to. (about 1k for two cabinets with sinks/counters and medicine cabinets)
I like the vanity and the medicine cabinets. I can't decide between this counter/sink combo which has a small back or the flat one that is a bit thicker that they sell. Any opinions?
flat counter:
I am actually starting to get excited about this so now I am looking at little things too. I have a spot next to one of the cabinets that would fit this shelf, too matchy?
What do you think of these lights or something like them, and any idea how to find them:
My kid LOVE this tub, and I would like to get a bench to put under the window what do you think of this one? would it clash with the window trim? Too rustic?

7 years agoI like your selections except for the faucet. It seems a little "country" to me. I think I would use the vanity that has the small back on the countertop. It provides a little protection from water without adding another element for a backsplash.
I have the light that like in my powder room. It is a Kichler light. Kichler Light
I bought mine at a local discount lighting store but I have seen it at some big box stores. It is readily available on line. It also comes in a 3 and 4 light version
Here's a night time shot of the light in my powder room

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoI like everything except the country style faucet and the dark floor tile for the shower wall. I like the wall tile in the IKEA vanity/towel picture for the shower tile. Or, this tile on the shower wall...with black, dark gray or dark brown grout.
I like both vanity tops.

Comments (15)I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?...See MoreVanity decisions for budget bathroom update
Comments (15)The house was built in 1999. There is a lot of wood throughout the house but the bedrooms and stairs are carpeted. The kitchen has a similar color in the cabinetry with black granite and is in keeping with that Tuscan-inspired vibe. I had originally wanted to redo the kitchen or at least have the cabinetry painted white but the cost just kept creeping up so in that project I am just changing the backsplash to white subway tile, adding a hood exhaust over the oven instead of the existing microwave, and painting the walls. We recently redid the master bedroom and it has a dark blue painted wall (Benjamin Moore Old Navy) and the bottom is wainscotting in Chantilly Lace with a four poster bed and heavy oak furniture (I will post a photo later)....See MoreBathroom floor decision for new home.
Comments (14)Thank you all for the input. The bathroom will have a floating vanity, charcoal with white marbling for the countertop and backsplash, wall mount black faucet. The shower is 36 x 50 (? not final yet), and I'm thinking I want to do one entire wall (and where the toilet is) with large format white hexagon tile. I have the same concerns about the flooring and have been feeling uncertain about the selection. Patricia, I see your point about oak and walnut. And we will have the same cabinets in the kitchen and main room. Maybe I should find something that's more uniform in color? Should I go lighter? Or a wood that's a closer match with the cabinet wood? Any suggestions? We want to stick with something like SPC for the durability and because it's waterproof. We live on a waterway and deal with wet feet, wet bathing suits, wet dog. In general, the house will have a lot of light-- large windows/sliders out the water side, and white walls throughout....See MoreOpinions on a variety of bathroom decisions....
Comments (10)I have the same basket weave in the shower and the floor. My death trap rental had the 12” x 12” in the shower and bathroom floor. The large tiles on the floor were very slippery if there was any moisture. Luckily the shower was framed so i couid hang on to the top of the frame if i moved my feet. And i thought about every step My bathroom has been in use for 3 years with no issues. It is a fairly high quality stone so there aren’t issues of iron oxidation. I also only have cleaning products that are safe for marble. I will say that if i had it to do over, I might have gone with a polished tile in the master as well because the polished is very striking. But the honed is very elegant 🤷♀️🤷♀️ FWIW neither of my bathrooms are the typical gray marble spa look as my inspiration was more the period Art Deco styles. Eta I have a niche and I also have a very attractive corner basket from Kohler. It does not resemble the after market type of baskets and was imstalled by my tile setter. I also have a built in bench which I love. Some people do a little niche very low for their feet when they shave....See MoreBoopadaboo
7 years agoOK I had a feeling the faucet wasn't working :) I wish Ikea had more than just chrome faucets. this one matches the shower/bath items. It just seems a bit high to me:
justerrilynn I spent about a 4-5 weeks going to tile stores. I would have loved to do white tile walls and then the dark floors and and dark shower floor. DH did not like it at all. I went through many inspirations pictures that started from this:

Badgergal - thank you - I love that light and it looks fabulous in your room.roarah

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoSorry Boo, it's just that I think the modern sink cabinet is at odds with doing the full dark arts & crafts style tiled shower. I love that tile for the floor and shower floor though. So practical with having a floor that doesn't show every little thing.
If you don't like the one I posted above, something like this would tie it all in.

7 years agothank you justerrilynn
Maybe that arts and craft picture is giving the wrong vibe. here are two more. I think that the slate can read modern....
the floor will be 12/24 tiles
the shower tile floor will be 2x2 tiles of the same colorway:
DH was adamant about stone (look) on the walls, and I don't like when the shower floor is different than the main floor. So that is how we ended up with what we ended up with :) the tile has been ordered and paid for. I have the shower and bathtub faucets.
the Ikea stuff DH can go get Monday or Tuesday. I would like to order the sink faucets today.
the bench can wait, but i really want one given how often the kids bathe in that tub! :)

7 years agoShoot - I dont know how that picture ended up first but now I can't seem to move it!
I feel like this is finally coming together. I am really looking forward to this now! Thank you for the millionth time Roarah!!!!! I like how things are shaping up.
What do you think of the bench Roarah ( although I know you don't like giving opinions :)
I had a few other alternatives for benches, but I liked that this one had storage. Of course my favorite was one from designwithin reach but it was not within my reach :)Here are some faucets I found:
some other benches I was looking at:

I love the bench with your tiles and I feel it will be far enough away from the sinks that it does not need to be matchy matchy, but I have a mix of dark wood furniture and white stained furniture in my masterbath so I like eclectic decorating. Here are the lights. I think it is the photoshopping that makes it not work here for the metals are off in my picture but IRL they are probably the same I will work on putting just a vanity image with your new choices together now. Oops put pic on top sorry.Boopadaboo thanked roarah- Boopadaboo thanked roarah

I do not like this tap nor bench as much as the others. This bench brings out the rust in the tiles more where as the other ones accent the greys, black and greens more but YMMV.

7 years agoI like the cabinets without the back counter. I actually really like the cabinets you picked from ikea. I think the first bench looks the best. I dont think these go with your selections but did you see how cute that cabinet is in white and grey?
And they have a bigger one:
Boopadaboo thanked rockybirdBoopadaboo
7 years agoI like them too rockybird , and I dont really feel like I am settling too much :) so hopefully that means We wont have to replace them. I have never had two vanities in a master, so that should be interesting. :)
Do you mean the chest/bench? of course that is sold out on overstock so I have had to find it elsewhere now!
Here are some more lights. of course my favorite is the $1000 one which is out of scope
