How to decorate bathrooms with slate (look-alike) floors?
Comments (13)I did Dal Continental slate floor in the bathroom, with white tiles and a different color slate trim and pencil. I love it. I really like contrasting materials and textures, and the smooth white tiles and the more rustic feel of slate is very appealing for me! Am doing a backsplash as I write in the kitchen which will be white subway and slate border to contrast, too. We live in a more wooded area, so the contrast fits the outdoors as well. I don't have a lot of views of the floor, but here is one you may be able to get the basic look of: Here is a link that might be useful: other pics of bathroom......See MoreDecorative concrete floor in kitchen
Comments (3)We have concrete in our finished walkout basement at our lakehouse. It is essentially a guest suite w/ a full bath & a kitchenette set-up. So while it's not exactly a fair comparison to an actual kitchen, there are enough similarities in how we use the space to give you some feedback. We absolutely love the concrete floors. Love how they look. How easy they are to maintain. And ours have radiant heat beneath, which makes them very cozy to pad around on in cold weather. The downsides I foresee would be that they aren't very forgiving on your feet & legs if you stand on them for a long time. I'm a serious home cook, and I would absolutely need a gel mat, or something similar, underfoot in front of the range and sink area if I had concrete in the kitchen I use every day. The second thing is similar to a downside of tile, as well. It's a very unforgiving surface if you drop anything breakable. I've had dishes, bowls, and even glasses slip out of my hand and survive a "bounce" on my kitchen's wood floor. But a glass shatters on the concrete, and the shards fly near & far. Probably something to consider if you have little ones....See Moredecorative tile inserts...
Comments (37)The pencil molding should work fine for an edge to your backsplash so long as it is finished on the edge. If not, I think your installer can grind the marble to make a bullnose as needed. Perhaps Bill V. can comment? FYI - most tile sizes are stated to include an average grout joint. So the 4x4 you were told is really 3 3/4 plus a 1/4" grout joint. The diagonal is 5.3" plus grout joint (say 5.55") and, as you've noted, your installer will need to make a lot of cuts to use them. I don't think you should try to cut the inserts smaller. However, a good installer can make this work. If you switch to the 2" x 2" inserts, the diagonal is 2.8" plus grout joint, which should fit just about perfectly in a row of 3" subways. But is this the look you want? The 2" inserts will be more understated versus more drama (with the 4" inserts) and this is a personal choice. A couple of questions arise: what is involved in switching the 4x4 inserts for 2x2 inserts? If these tiles are locally available, then you have lots of options. Second, can you get samples of all your tiles to play with these next few days? With installation scheduled this Friday, your tile must be already in stock locally or en route? Ask your installer (or whoever ordered the tile) to give you a box of the subways and both insert sizes (several of each). Then you can play with layouts of the actual tile. That's so much easier than just looking at other people's designs. Next best is to ask someone on GW to do a mockup for you. You will need to provide links to your subway tile, in addition to the photo of your inserts shown above. Just some random thoughts at this late hour. I know your time is short to make a final decision. HTH. Carolyn...See MoreThoughts on using this Decorative Tile?
Comments (23)Edie Nicosia - I was just wondering about that teak vanity you bought a while back. Just keep it posted on CL or ebay. Sooner or later someone may buy it. I just checked out the semihandmade website - wow it's fancy and looks nice. I didn't know places like that existed. And your hubby is considering teak even after you bought a teak vanity?? LOL.. smh... I can certainly see where tension comes into play during remodels. My husband keeps asking what stuff is costing but he tends to complain a lot so I don't tell him all the details :) For my countertop, I simply googled "stone yards" or "granite yards" and called them one by one. Some places would not deal with the public directly but after about 4 calls I found a place that invited me up to see their remnants. The place I used had several granite and quartz remnants to choose from. They carried Silestone and other big brands. I was so excited to find my piece. I almost picked swan cotton - it has larger specks but some of the specks looked dirty so I went with Aurora snow....See More
