Comments (3)I get the impression that you're doing this work yourself? And that HD's granite tops are 49" wide and you only have a 48" space? If you have a circular saw, you can buy a diamond blade and use it to cut an inch (or as required) off the left edge of the slab. More info to follow if you're interested....See MoreBathroom sinks/vanity are IN bedroom, not bathroom- HUH?
Comments (30)My parents house is like that, but there’s a wall with a wide doorway into the area with the vanity, so it’s open but also easy to close off by just putting a curtain rail up. It’s also oriented to the room such that if you only use enough light at the vanity to wash your hands for a midnight potty run, it really isn’t enough to bother someone in the bed if you place the bed sensibly. Getting ready in the morning would be trickier if you needed to do makeup and so on so needed proper lighting, so that’s where a screen or a curtain would come in....See MoreWhat would you do with this blue bathroom?
Comments (24)I like Pal's ideas. If you keep the tub, it'd be neat to try to undermount the sinks. I'd want to remove the tile on the window wall if possible because it looks institutional with so much dark tile. Ideally I'd just keep it on the floor and in the shower. My first impression is that it's a very long room, which the striped pattern of the floor tile accentuates. I'd break up that wall with taller vanities and a cabinet centered between them. Put a hamper or pull-out trash in the base cabinet. I'm not sure about white vanities since it's a guy bathroom and I don't think white wood is very guy-like. Maybe some type of light-colored natural wood. I would use a white quartz or Corian countertop. Hang the shower rod higher, and add some hand towel bars near the sinks....See More1960s bathroom refresh
Comments (9)@michiganmama: I just used BM Beacon Gray paint but that might be a little bit too blue for you. Take a look at BM Silver Mist, BM First Snowfall, and maybe BM Marilyn’s Dress. If you search these colors on the Benjamin Moore site you can click the options for shades and similar colors. Maybe thia will help narrow things down before you go to the paint store for chips or samples. I am seeing the sink as more teal than gray/blue, so my focus is on the floor where I see gray. If you decide to change the sink, go for an undermount white. Regarding the vents, I took them down, lightly sanded, got them really clean, and spray painted (metal paint from Lowe’s). Hope that helps!...See Morebossyvossy
