Bathroom finished! Pics & a question
Comments (14)Bestyears, auntomichael, lesnyc, & flyleft, Thanks so much. It's so good to have my color scheme validated! Bestyears, I wish I started out my day surrounded by glass tile. Instead, I start out my day surrounded by diapers and baby bottles. When I'm lucky, I can *end* my day in the shower, but that doesn't happen every day... Dgmarie, Lol! The tile is *supposed* to be crooked. Hakatai Ashland and Oceanside Tessera are "rustic" tiles. No one tile is exactly the same, so they don't line up cleanly. There are more pictures on the Oceanside (see link below) and Hakarai websites. It's not everyone's cup of tea, I know. Flyleft, Have you seen ORB tension curtain rods? We wanted a tension rod so we wouldn't have to drill into the glass, but I couldn't find an ORB one. However, I didn't look very hard. I would definitely be open to getting one. Qdognj, flyleft, & dgmarie, Thanks for the input on the caulk situation. We will be placing a call to the tilesetter on Monday. One thing I forgot to put in my post is that we also took out a drop ceiling and shifted half of a wall. I really wish I had "before" pictures!! Here is a link that might be useful: Another example of Oceanside Tessera glass tile (red)...See MorePlease help rein in bathroom remodel budget!
Comments (6)just to say your drawing is pretty good:) actually perfect for somebody like me:) if the tile and pattern are important-i'd try to save on the vanity by looking into second hand. sometimes folks sell very decent or even new stuff because they remodel for example. otherwise i think the prices you posted are very reasonable pattern is more laborious and will probably require more cuts=ordering more tile i know new vanities cost a lot..anything new wood does. so i'd shop around for that maybe, but splurge on the tile that's important to you. tiles are harder to get second hand:) lol but you can score a very nice vanity, without paying full price in Costco. of course one needs to get lucky. so decide whether you have patience for hunting like that. i got two of three vanities i needed on Craigslist..one is pretty straightforward just a big improvement from the old one, and cost me around 250 or so with nice clean countertop(looks like quartz), integrated sink and faucet. it's not 60 inch that's true..it's 37 inches. it was brand new too. another one was around the same in terms of money, it's smaller, but it's handmade and unique and i'd never be able to get something like this in the chain store. so i'm happy i took my time hunting. but i realize this Craigslist thing is not everybody's preference, for various reasons....See MoreQuestion on Plumbing for Double Sink Vanity

Comments (5)"it could be the lighting" I would increase the color temperature of the lighting. If the lights' color temperature is 3000K, try 3500K or 4000K. Don't go higher or the bathroom will look like an operating room. If changing the current lighting would be a hassle, you can test color temperatures by getting a cheap, "selectable", recessed light (example: Juno 4BEMW SWW5 90CRI M6), attaching it to a table lamp, plugging the lamp into a bathroom outlet, and switching among the various color temperatures....See More
