Now what do you think about bathroom floor?
Comments (39)Thank you all, I'll try to respond better now that I'm on my computer and not the phone! Ellendi61- thank you. I know. It's a bathroom. You know. Rationally I know. I was so happy with how our powder room turned out that I maybe should have done the same combo- dark cabs, light counter. But I didn't want the counter to look like the old cultured fake marble and I didn't want dark cabs as it's so small. And we used a vanity with an open middle and legs so it is not oppressive at all. But this is different. Thanks pal. I get what you're saying. I totally do. Thank you for the perspective. Amberm145- thank you. I don't find this dull as in boring, but dull as in bland and beige. Maybe I should have gone with the bright blue counter my DS wanted :) Would have spiced things up! And I don't remember exactly what city you're in, but a tile store in Edmonton just sent me 9 samples by like express post at no charge. I love them. So you don't have to go to the train station for me :)...See MoreWhat do you like better? pebble or hex for bathroom floor?
Comments (12)I like pebble tile, but I do not like THIS pebble tile. I think I'm reacting negatively to the blue tones ... and to the mixed tones. I think pebble tile should be more natural looking, soft and soothing, and a nod towards nature. This mixed-tones pebble tile looks a bit jarring, and I do not like it. Regardless, I suspect hex tile is a better, more long-lasting choice. As others have said, more tile /less grout is a more user-friendly choice. And I think pretty much everyone likes hex tile -- it's kind of a thing that exists outside styles and trends. Having said that, I am considering pebble tile for my upstairs bathroom. I have the most perfect set of inspiration pix, which include pebble tile in the shower only ... but Practical Me is telling me to use the inspiration pix ... but sub in something else for the pebbles. Also I don't find the pebble floor that comfortable for my bare feet. You can get real pebbles -- round pebbles just like you could pick up from the ground -- or you can get "flat top pebbles", which have been cut so that the surface is flat. This gives you the look of pebbles but a comfortable feel....See MoreBathroom floor tile - which one do you like?
Comments (44)@Shanon Rosick - thanks for your post.. if you check my post from 9 hours ago we are going with the deco pattern stratford tile on the shower walls and a matte white mosaic on the entire bathroom floor.. walls are being painted crushed ice which is a hint of grey that picks up the tile color.. the tile doesn't look like vinyl in reality.. it is actually very pretty - no bench / no niche - i do not like either.. getting a small cedar bench in the bathroom that we can pull under the rainhead if we want and tempered curved glass shelves in corner.....See MoreWhat flooring do you have in your upstairs bathrooms?
Comments (8)"....above a garage." Says it all. I would guess the structure isn't ready for something heavy like tile or stone or concrete. The effort to get those products in there = 1-2 inch FLOOR RAISE to get the stiffness + the stone on top. That is a BIG toe stubber. Vinyl = man made PVC (polyvinyl chloride). All man made from the 40's (ish) Lino = natural products going on 150 years (linseed oil, cork, jute, wood dust, etc) Cork flooring is VASTLY different from crumbly cork boards (used at a desk to hold things to the wall). Cork glue down tiles are 4mm - 12mm thick and can last 100 years or more. In fact there are Cathedrals and churches in Portugal and Spain that have their cork floors for more than 100 years. The US Library of Congress received their cork flooring in the 1890's (just before they reopened at their 2nd/current location). It's still there. And cork is water proof. That's why the wine industry uses cork....because it keeps the liquid in the bottle. The bottles of Champagne found on the Titanic (yep...the stuff brought up to the surface once it had been found) were still 'sweet'. Which is to say NO salt water had entered the bottles despite the crushing depths....See More

5 years agoI agree with the builder concerning building a closet in the bedroom. I thought the closet opening into the bedroom gives you more space in the bathroom and the windows fit well in the bathroom. It also insulates the bathroom noise from the bedroom.
It looks like you also have a nice closet just outside your bedroom. You can store out of season clothes there and switch clothes to the bedroom closet when the season changes.

5 years agoYou guys are so clever. The architect was here today and he also suggested a similar plan. The only difference was to put the door in the middle of the wall and then two built-ins on each side framing the door (ie. his and hers). That way the door opens right opposite the window. I’m sure a walk-in closer is a nice to have but it adds dead space as you mentioned.

5 years agoYou could check with the contractor to see if this layout works. Slightly bigger shower. No window or small window up high.
