Talk me down or bail me out of jail
Comments (101)hahahahaha - You are so right - I didn't even think about it that way! You guys crack me up! And I thought *I* was the one being sneaky! lol He has me doing all the weeding and mowing the back, too! Now we're *discussing* a vegetable garden. He wants to do it one way, I another. I told him that I was going to do it my way and he could just stay out of it! He's just won again, hasn't he? hmmmm....... beginning to catch on now......See MoreTiler trying to talk me out of all-tile niche
Comments (20)Linelle - I love your niche!! I'm kind of late in responding to this post, but wanted to chime in because I am having the exact problem that Mongo described about the shower curb expanding. My bathroom was remodeled (I think) about 8 years ago by the PO. It was tiled with the floor tile and matches the tile in the shower floor. At some point water got into the wood through the grout, and the curb began 'blowing up' from the inside out. Of course where there's water, there's mold and it has caused major problems . Since I don't have any of the tile the PO used, my options were to slap some grout over it as a temporary fix or redo the whole thing. I've always hated this bathroom so I chose to bite the bullet and renovate. For this reason, I'm doing a stone curb and stone ledge in niche. Also, I really love the stone remnant I found, so am excited to use it throughout my bathroom and not just on the vanity. Good luck!...See Moretalk me out of white cesarstone?
Comments (12)I have light Quartz in the kitchen (picked by us) and white Quartz on the vanity in the kids' bath(already came with the vanity which we bought second hand) . Kitchen Quartz is by Quatrztforms, bath Quartz-I've no idea. While kitchen Quartz is not all that (our GC was really pushing us into Quartz and how indestructible it is)and I do baby it to some extent especially it being so light and showing every crumb-it's not only me in the kitchen, and the spills are quite easily wiped off the next day after I find them lol. Bathroom Quartz-already has a stain from a brass soap dish( I guess) that doesn't go away, and a water ring from something that also doesn't go away. Well I'm there less, and I was under impression all Quartzes are so so indestructible I didn't catch the damage on time. And now it seems like it's there to stay. (I decided it's Quartz since it's a bright white very hard surface with little sparkles..hard to imagine it being anything else but Quartz)) So I guess a lot will depend on how this or that Quartz is made....See MoreBlanco Silgranit: Talk me out of - or convince me!
Comments (12)We’ve only had our Silgranit sinks for 5 mos so definitely can’t comment on the longevity... But so far I’m really happy with them (we have 2 - our main sink and a prep sink in the island). Specifically I like that it doesn’t seem to stain easily or look dirty (our color is Truffle so not super light or dark), a quick wipe and it’s clean. I definitely haven’t babied it as far as putting boiling water or fairly hot pans in it) & it seems to do fine......See MoreJulie K
