Comments (129)Wow, thank you tanders and kitchenredo08 for being interested in how it turned out. I PROMISE to put up some pictures within a week. This project has had a lot of ups and downs. First, it took about three weeks for the material to arrive. When it came, I was thrilled; it was exactly what I hoped for. Then came the really fun part: installation. I was talked into the idea that we could do this ourselves. Hmmmm, not sure how to characterize that decision since this post could potentially be read by the other party to the decision ;-). Anyway, let's suffice it to say that stone tile, especially a split face is not for the novice installer. But we got it installed with just a few snafus. Then it was time for grout. We started using the pastry bag method, but abandoned it when my hand began to cramp. Switched to a float. BIG mistake. Grout EVERYWHERE in ALL of the nooks and crannies. Three weeks later and we're still chipping out grout. But we're getting close. Close enough where I'm loving it again. So anyway, it's been an adventure. My advice to anyone who wants to do stone; hire a professional. Again, I PROMISE some pictures very soon. I'm too embarassed to post my kitchen right now with chisels and nano scrub and sponges everywhere. Karen...See Moreall design suggestions welcome for tiny beige bathroom
Comments (19)I love the idea of the diagonal tile on the floor. Consider doing two tones, one the color of the wall tile, and one in the white as the fixtures are. It is a great look and will enlarge the feel of the space. I have two tones (almond and a medium tan)laid on the diagonal in the kitchen, and still love it every time I see it. I would trim the window in the white, to compliment the fixtures. I would do the walls in a deep chocolate brown, in the same undertone as the tile . It will be crisp and effective with all the white fixtures and trim. I would do the medicine chest and cabinet over the toilet in white as well. Chocolate throw rugs, towels something like this from Macy's: avanti towel collection A green plant or two would break up all the brown. If he were willing, you could do a medium blue towel and rug instead of the brown/beige, which would still be very nice with the white fixtures and chocolate and beige walls....See MoreBathroom layout idea with 2 small bathrooms - including measurements
Comments (19)The "regular" bath layout that jensbride posted first is very similar to what our DD & DS shared for years and worked very well. The door, however, was a pocket style and placed directly across from the toilet. This allowed the vanity to be scooted around the corner to take up the whole wall. It leaves the toilet close to the tub, but with lots of elbow room. Our kids just learned to keep the door partially closed when the bath wasn't in use due to the "view"....See MoreIdeas on cheap update to my guest bathroom
Comments (3)Most commenters would love a photo. If you don’t want to replace anything, but then you want to spend $750 replacing the countertop and faucet, you have me confused. Why not just paint the walls and trim, replace the shower curtain and put a new mirror in?...See More- 6 years ago
