New home - 3 bathroom renovations - layout help please
Comments (1)I can't read the dimensions on this, so you'd have to sketch it out to see how the inches end up being allocated. I'd plan on bathroom fights. The kids are pretty close in age. I'd try moving things around a bit and see how it works out. Take the closet in the middle bedroom off that wall (we'll deal with it later). Put the toilet across from the tub with a small linen closet, maybe some hampers. Consider a sliding door (maybe frosted glass for light) between the sink are and tub area, which allows for two people to use it at once. Add a second sink area where the toilet was. Then take out the master toilet. Slide the closet over. Put the middle bedroom closet to the right of the new master closet location. Put the shower along the outer wall with the toilet next to it. Put a larger double vanity on the back of the closet wall. The vanity depicted looks a bit small for two people/sinks, but I can't read the size so hard to tell. Might have to make the closet a few inches shallower, hard to tell. If it were my home, the kids bath access issue and larger master vanity would be my "wants". Worth playing around on paper a bit, even if it just convinces you it isn't the right choice....See MoreNew bathroom - Need help with wall art
Comments (28)There are lots of great suggestions here. I love the idea of the black towel ladder and the shelves above the toilet Personally, I support the idea of art on your walls and I love your pallet. I understand the comment of selecting art/pictures via colour scheme. but I am going to suggest a different way of thinking about choosing art for your bathroom/ home. It may take time tho, to followup on my suggestions if you consider following them. I would just like to add that I grew up in a home that was filled with beautiful art. My parents could not afford the 'real' thing so my Mom cut beautiful pictures out of magazines, framed them inexpensively as she could, and hung them in groupings on our light pained walls. First your bathroom pallet is calm and restful. It will not compete with most art that you choose, but instead will create a back drop for the art. I see art as a relationship with you and the art. Art is personal and meaningful. I would scour art galleries and their artists on-line and in your area to see what type of art appeals to you and your husband. ( see note below) After finding out what you like, you may purchase a piece from a gallery, furniture store, an art auction ( fun!!!!!) , or grad shows/sales for art schools. ( I paid 300$ for one pice that I bought from an art school sale,) or painting guilds. If the art talks to you , it is is a sign that it belongs in your house. Good art stands on its own and does not need to be expensive and also just needs a neural backdrop to show it off. You have the neural. Generally people are consistent in choosing art they relate to, so the pieces you choose will have some consistency. What matters also is the space and placement ........you have to place your art. For above the towel rack, I would suggest a piece no wider than 5" on either side the of the towel rack and no higher than the top of the mirrors. If the art is wider, then it will not be "supported" and then it will add tension to the room. I'd suggest placing a piece of art between the mirrors . I would suggest that it be higher than the light switch, slightly lower than the lights in the light fixture and 4"to 6" or so from the edges the mirrors. I'd also put an art piece above the toilet. But that is me. I don't mind living in an art gallery look. If you are considering art just because you think might be a suggestion , but you love clocks, I think you should choose clocks. If you love clocks tho, than you would be following your heart and then I'd suggest you look up clocks on Houzz and see what people are doing as they decorate with clocks.I'dd recommend one clock between the mirrors, : fram the mirrors. and a grouping over the town rack and then place shelves over the toilet. CB2 has clocks, Chintz also had great clocks. Note: My contractor's wife said she and her husband had different art tastes, so I worked with them by listening to what they liked in art and looked for art on gallery websites. Long story short. I sent them images art that combined what they liked and they ended up choosing a piece that they both loved. On the other hand you both might like the same art or one of you might not care so you would have an easier task. I have a framed batik under glass, a stretched giclee canvas and a framed under glass relief in my two bathrooms and have has no issue with moisture from the showers /tub. If you don't put art between your mirrors I would recommend framing them. food for thought...............See MoreHelp with bathroom remodel - BATHROOM question
Comments (21)We renovated recently and removed an old cast iron tub that had been reglazed badly several times - it was tough for our plumbing team to find someone to cut it up and get it down the narrow stairs.. we opted for an acrylic model for our replacement, I absolutely love old things too but definitely appreciate the new pipes that our team was able to run to the new bath as well as a nice level subfloor 😅...See MoreMajor plumbing issue with bathroom vanity
