Lukkirish, I canoot upload any pictures, if I do, my computer will explode. I'm on strict orders not to uploand for this reason. However, when my daughter comes home from school today, I'll ask her to take a couple of pictures with her camera and upload them on her computer to this thread. How can I get the pictures posted directly in the thread as shown above, rather than a link? And thank you for offering to do this for me. I really appreciate it. Bronwynsmom: I do not want a trite look for this bathroom, although I am a lover of pink. When I hang dry all of my clothing it's pretty much pinks, lovely greens, and blacks with a blue something thrown in, plus of course denim. I appreciate the advice. Especially on the white trim. Someone up-thread told me to match the cabinetry, which is a fairly stark white, so that is a good thing. Is the best way to compare whites to go to the paint store and look at the sample chips under the flourescent lighting fixtures at that display? I do want a soft white... softer than the cabinets. What makes a white "soft" looking? That Ballard bedroom is gorgeous, Pink Fairy is a really lovely shade of pink as well. It is gorgeous with all of the beige/taupe trim and accent pieces. And again I'm seeing it a large, airy room. My bathroom is small and stuffed with things like sinks and cabinets. Is there a rule about what color does when you bring it into a smaller room and you are standing close to it? I would think that, to the eye, the color is intensified. Here is a link that might be useful: Benjamin Moore Pink Fairy

Be careful that there's no blue undertones in the gray grout you choose. I thought we needed a blue undertone but what we chose turned out too blue. Tec Sterling sounds familiar as one we may have been considering when we thought we needed a blue tone. Is MP Mapei? I wouldn't use their product. I heard that tilers don't like it. I know that after my tiler got their rep involved in my issue, they pulled several colors off the shelf because of quality issues.

Kaitlyn G, sorry, just seeing this! Here is a photo of how it all turned out. The “white” quartzite I selected ended up being more grayish / off white when compared to the truer white of the cabinets (Fabuwood Nexus in their stock white for perimeter, stock grey for island). It was also a challenge to match with backsplash. I chose Artistic Tile “jazz” glass mosaic. I’m happy with how it turned out, but if I had to do it again, I might have sprung for the “cristallo” quartzite which is a harder slab, more like crystals / rock, vs the creamier more marble-like look of my quartzite. I say that because, despite being sealed w Tenax professionally 2x, there are still parts of my counter that are susceptible to moisture rings / stains from leaving a bottle of oil out without a coaster. They all fade away in a couple of days but it is annoying. Cristallo was 2x the price when I was looking, so I passed, it was like $260/sf installed! That said, I do sometimes regret not splurging on it… but I really wanted the subzero, and I definitely can’t live without that. Have you made material selections yet? If you go w Mont Blanc, make sure they seal it really really well.

I would not leave the cabinet just hanging out In its wall hole that way. Get some molding to cover the space between the cabinet and the sides of the hole. You will need to scribe the molding to the places where the cabinet trim sticks out more. Or, since you are painting the cabinet to match the wall, simply have the protruding trim sawed off flat. It looks like a cabinet stuck into a hole unless you add trim for the built-in look.
