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 MoreWhat's best for a kitchen floor?
Comments (9)Ok, your original instinct was right on. I would - without hesitation - go for unfinished red oak hardwood and have it finished to a reasonable match to the finish you have in the rest of the house. You’re not going to increase the value of a home by installing vinyl. Ever. Especially not in Bryn Mawr. Wood will age over time, and rooms with more light will age differently than north facing rooms, naturally. But it ages in a pretty, ombré continuum, like balayage in hair color. Take a look at the wood floors you already have. Do you notice the floor in one room looking vastly different from the floor in another? Does it “look bad?” Your hardwood floors will age just fine. If you are concerned about this, you can install red oak and refinish all of the floors, or you can refinish the floors years from now if you ever don’t like them....See MoreAdd a 2nd Pass-Through as Stopgap ahead of Full Remodel?
Comments (14)Thanks all! Really appreciate the input. It’s currently a tough space to furnish/design given how ‘diagonal’ the path between the entryway, ‘flex space’ (tiny space by non-functioning original fireplace) and ‘living room’ which was an addition (maybe a sunroom?) sometime in the 60s/70s based on our next guesses. Will upload some more photos for better visuals!...See MoreMultiple LVP flooring patterns in one room
Comments (1)Once you get furniture and rugs, etc., I doubt anyone would notice. It would be a challenge to replace since they are most likely click and lock planks....See Morefristick
