A Couple or So of Master Bath Decor Questions

5 years ago

Welcome to my bathroom!

I'm absolutely lovin' it... Roll-in shower, walls are painted SW Garden Sage, ceiling is SW Canvas Tan (the entire bedroom suite is the same). Log walls on the exterior. Rugs are a very light cream.

Thing is, I found these decorative tiles that I love (local artist, and I'm a hobby farmer), and I want to hang them on the logs.

I picked up plate wall hangers for them, but they don't quite fit around the depth of the tile. So, I'm scared to hang them. They're green with brown overtones. (Or, is it undertones?) The wall and towels look grey here -- they are NOT.

Note that the hanger material doesn't quite fit.

Here's where I want to hang them - G for goat, P for pig. (The pig is just slightly larger than the goat.)

Yes, on the logs. I don't trust those adhesive style hooks to adhere with any trustworthiness to the uneven texture of log.

Question 1: Any suggestions for hanging these? Are there plate hangers with a wider grasp on the market out there? No, I do not want to leave them on the sink, I want to USE the sink to its fullest.

For the rest of my décor, I have ….

Question 2:

I'm thinking of a plant stand in front of the window. Ideas? It could be teak or a white structure.

Question 3: Art for over the toilet / over the teak bench? (I need to keep the bench there, as the other option is to get one of those rather ugly handicapped pull down bars so I can easily stand up from the throne... Yeah, TMI.) Would a chrome shelf over the toilet for extra towels be a good idea, and then artwork over the bench? (The cabinets hold towels and extra bath supplies.)

I would want something that can stand high humidity. I'm not interested in ocean art (no seashells) as I am inland but would not mind lake/river/stream themed art... not on paper or anything that would wrinkle with time in the humidity of a shower. I am not interested in decorating for a hunting lodge atmosphere, either. I'd consider other ideas. The tiles would not work here, and I am not repainting the walls.

not much help from me for now..just to say I really love your bathroom

(artistic tiles often have special ..deep pockets for the lack of the better word, on the back, so can be put on a hook, much like a painting..I guess it's not the case here?

I guess one can ask to attach a hook with gypsym, or something..redo it into a hanging tile..I've know idea where though)

I think oils(not too precious ones) are the best to hang in bathrooms (after ceramics and plants)..especially with your wood, will look amazing

There are many interesting plant stands..or things that can be used as plant stands..dimiensions you have in mind, would help.

I gotta admit, I'm really annoyed by the GRAY-ness of these photos on my monitor.

The only grey in the room is detail work on the shower curtain. Towels are a darker sage green.

I was going to copy a swatch of SW garden sage from the SW website here, but it looks horribly grey there, too.

I am considering getting some pale cream towels to match the floor rugs, and alternate the two colors - but that's only if I go with the over the toilet chrome towel rack.

(The extra stuff in the closet cabinets are old stuff from my old home, to be pulled out in a pinch...)

Shower tile is not green, but it is lightly warm-toned.

EDIT: Due to how badly color is displaying, we should probably leave color aspects out of this discussion...

If it's possible to do so, you could get rid of the sink that is to the right of the doorway (on the curve), move the doorway to the right and make the shower area larger by expanding it to the area where the doorway is now......OR.......move the doorway to the right still, make a shower where the garden tub is now, and put a 2nd vanity in the old shower space expanding it to the area where the doorway is now. If you're moving in a year, you might want to keep the garden tub because then you won't be excluding any buyers and you'll still be getting a larger shower. Whichever gives you the most bang for your buck.

repainting master bath color question...
Q
Comments (12)
my master bath is Revere Pewter. I love it, although it seems too light to me--I wish i had gone at least one or maybe even two shades darker. We were thinking we should go light since the slate is so dark. The paint looks great in the room, though, in my opinion. We tried a couple other sample shades of gray on the wall before we painted, but the others had too much blue--the grays were too "cold." the revere pewter feels much warmer. to me it's more of a brown/taupy gray than a blue gray. I don't know what your bedroom color looks like, but the RP is a warm gray to me. I just took these photos--so Noon, sunny outside, no flash. i can take more tonight with the lights on if you would like. I also tried to take pics angling up so you can see the contrast with the white ceiling. the first pic looks lighter on my screen than it really is. HTH!

Master Bath decor questions with shiplap consideration.
Q
Comments (2)
Using "Southern" and "Island" as a basis, I think the shiplap would look great. But instead of thinking of blending it in, I would have the contractor finish it in a driftwood color to pull the grey or taupe from the tile and the counter top. I would paint the cabinets and trim a soft white and change the faucet and cabinet knobs to bronze. All of this will work together to tone down the dressiness of the stone. As for the mirrors, I would tend to use the same configuration as now, but would frame them with either wood to match the cabinets or a tumbled marble tile. I would also add wall lighting over the mirrors.

The little log shelf is the perfect place to set the goat and pig tiles. I think trying to hang them on the curved logs is a mistake. They won't be flush. What you have on the shelf now could be moved elsewhere.

Pretty bathroom and love the tiles.

What about two L-hooks for each tile? Like these (item B),

What about a plant shelf instead of a plant stand?

What about using transparent mirror clips. Ywo at the bottom of each tile and one on the top. The clips screw into the logs.

The idea of transparent mirror clips... not exactly sure what they are, but will look into this.

Becky, thanks also, that may work... Will look into in more depth.

The plant stand is because I have citrus fruit trees (still small things) that need to come in, in the winter. I'm figuring one on a stand. ?

The log shelf.. I thought about that, but I fear unless they are connected to the wall, they are large enough to be dislodged, fall and break. The items up there now could break, too, but they're small, so less likely. If I could secure...

April... oils (say on linen/canvas) won't get messed up by humid showering? I did see some oils online I do like...

not in my experience

again..wouldn't do anything really precious..or extremely sentimental to you

(I had//have framed watercolors, drawings, and prints too..but then again, they have more chance to suffer from humidity so nothing very precious either)

How many little trees? What size pots? How much room do you have for the plant stand? What width, height, depth?

I have two small citrus trees -- a lemon and a kumquat I bought at the big box store on sale at the end of summer. I've had them in the windowsill in my south-facing bathroom for at least six weeks, and give them a shower every other week : ) .

I would look for a teak plant stand, to match your teak stool (which is a great solution for your problem, one that I share!). In addition to tying the stool and the stand together, the teak stand will not be damaged if it gets wet sometimes.

I agree that the plaques of the animals would do nicely on your shelf. A glob or two of Museum Gel on the bottom of each one will help hold it in place so that they do not move. I have it holding my things on a narrow shelf in the Foyer, and I cannot now move them to dust! I have to dust around them. Granted, I could pry them off the gel and then reapply it, but they are so well stuck now, I don't want to do that.

Possible teak stands from Amazon:

2 ft long x 1 ft deep x 34" high with three shelves

15 1/2 tall stool with one lower shelf, if the citrus tree is tall.

12" square tall stand (33.25") with three shelves

28.25" tall stool whose legs flair just a bit, perhaps looking like your other stool more than the above
