Does a good looking wall hung bidet/washlet toilet exist?
Comments (9)I'll just say that there are very nice toilets that Toto and INAX makes that are all in one with the advanced toilet seat. But these are not wall hung. They come with a very high price tag of over $4000 to $5000 if I remember correctly. Personally I prefer my advanced toilet seat over what it looks like. This is a case where function truly out weight form IMO....See MoreKitchen mat with some color?? Does this exist?
Comments (19)My apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but.. you love the persian rug look, but you think that they're not going to stand up to heavy use and/or water splashes AND want something that is anti-fatigue? We currently have a Kilim style rug in our kitchen that has been thoroughly 'loved' and doesn't show significant signs of wear - a good vacuuming each week (let's be fair, every few weeks) and it's as good as new. GOOD rugs (which are not necessarily $$$ rugs) will withstand quite a lot of abuse, and if you pair them with a quality pad, you've actually got a fair amount of padding. The Kilim style is a flat woven, so probably not what you're looking for, but the other tufted wool rugs in our house are probably even more neglected and are none the worse for wear - some of them were used 25 years ago and still look great. You can find really nice quality rugs second-hand (that have been professionally cleaned) for really quite reasonable prices. With a decent pile and nap, they're delicious to step on....See MoreDoes decent looking matte or cement looking porcelain tile exist?
Comments (21)I'm repeating this because I accidentally posting it on your other thread: Corinne Masterson I responded to your other thread about looking for concrete-looking tiles. The Emser Hangar and Emser Uptown were not expensive at all! I got 12 x 24 Emser Uptown Sugar Hill for my shower walls and ceiling (steamer), and bigger tiles are usually less expensive. I got a 2" x 2" for the floor, and those tend to be more expensive, but it's a small area. For my Dad's house I got Hangar Sand 12" x 24" for the bathrooms floors, and a darker Hangar color for 2" x 2" shower floor. The tile cost is one thing, but skill, experience and pro-labor is another. My tile pro is so fantastic, he build my steamer, installed a very $$$$ entire linear mosaic wall, plus the 12 x 24 field tile walls and ceiling in my master; and believe me, I am not worried about waterproofing problems with him. AND he was able to make all the super-cheap Home Depot tile look like a million bucks in my 3 upstairs bathrooms he remodeled. The pro that you hire for the installation is more important than the tile you choose IMO. Cheap tile + cheap installer = a disaster of waterproofing problems, lippage, horrible layout, yucky and uneven grout lines, sliver cuts; don't do it!! Cheap tile + excellent/expensive installer = great for any bathroom: upstairs/ kids /guest /rentals /master: If the tile you like just so happens to be cheap, such as from HD or Lowes that's fine. An excellent installer will make it look wonderful! Seriously, my awesome installer was totally fine with HD tile for all our upstairs kids'/guests' bathrooms, and it all looks beautiful. And again, no worries about waterproofing when you hire an experienced pro and pay them for their skill and expertise. Expensive tile + cheap installer = so sad; you buy this lovely, beauitful, expensive tile, and then a hack installer ruins it and you get a disaster of waterproofing problems, lippage, horrible layout, yucky and uneven grout lines, sliver cuts; don't do it!! Expensive tile + excellent/expensive installer = the best of both worlds. We bought a very expensive mixed glass/marble/porcelain mosic for an entire wall of our master shower and the tile pro I hired did an excellent job installing it. There were some issues with the tile I selected, but in the hands of a real pro, it can all be handled. The reason I didn't type "expensive installer," is because "excellent/expensive" is the better description. I had an expensive hack trash my bathroom. Expensive doesn't always mean excellent. That's another story......See MoreKitchen remodel cabinet quality question
Comments (8)I have not used the new cabinets but have looked them up since I do a lot of Ikea kitchens but am now pretty much retired . I love some of the new storage ideas bit I really miss the pantry cabinets with the frosted glass doors most of all. IMO you have already compared some to Ikea and found them not as good so what god to all the hassle get the Ikea ones at least their warranty is decent too. I really do nor understand the picture you posted as to where that cabinet is in your kitchen so maybe post a pic from further back . They still make the horizontal cabinets ....See Morekinni G
