Well, granite won't be installed until the end of the week, I can post then. For our girls' JJ bath they will have white cabs, porcelain tile, with New Delicatus granite. new delicatus also considered this granite - Giallo Ornamental

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.

I think the key is a big mirror and overly-adequate lighting (an overhead light plus bright sconces). Shiny surfaces like tile or metallic wallpaper would also help. These aren't mine, but are all interesting small (windowless?) powder rooms: okay, this one has a window but its one of my favorite powder rooms ever! or you could embrace the dark and go for rich and cozy

This is my current bathroom. Its five by six, so 30 sq ft. We also do have a very small linen closet just outside the room for storage of stuff like toilet paper. Unseen is a small cabinet over the toilet for medicine cabinet overflow, the cat litter box wedged between the sink and toilet, the towel hooks behind the door and the radiator on the wall opposite the sink. It's not a great bathroom by any means. It's just fine for one person at a time. Or one person, one cat. You can do what you need to do. It's the nicest bathroom I've ever had, but I've lived in some pretty terrible homes in the past. It can be very uncomfortable when the two people try and share it. The radiator is steam, not hot water. It gets very, very hot and bare hiney plus hot radiator is a bad combo, as there really isn't adequate clearance for one to walk behind someone standing at the sink. Also, you have shut the bathroom door before you sit on the toilet because there isn't room to do it afterwards. I think even one more foot in either direction would make a huge difference with the comfort level of the room. At least I would be able to walk past my husband shaving at the sink without a hot rear. When we move to the new place, the bathroom,will be something like three times the size of this one. What I would do if I had they money is carve the one huge bathroom into a modest but sizeable full bath plus a powder room.
