Semi-modern bathroom photo update...
Comments (68)Hi guys! Thanks so much for the compliments. Bill was here today putting the final touches on everything (we're so excited!!) and he told me there were questions on this thread. Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I think Bill answered most everything, except the wood counter question. It's holding up great! Looks brand new. Of course it's only a couple months old, so I'm not sure what that's worth :) I just have to finish the window curtain and apply grout colorant to the floor tile grout (which was stained before we even used the bathroom by all-natural cleaner, grrr....) and then I think we can officially call it completed....See MoreBathroom sinks/vanity are IN bedroom, not bathroom- HUH?
Comments (30)My parents house is like that, but there’s a wall with a wide doorway into the area with the vanity, so it’s open but also easy to close off by just putting a curtain rail up.

Comments (9)I hear you on the gold/brushed brass. I really REALLY want them for 2 bathrooms (3 sinks and 2 showers) but I wont spend that much. I’ve seen the no named ones you are talking about and don’t trust the reviews. However Costco has Moen faucets around the same price point. Part of me feels if I try the no name and then switch to the Costco Moen ones I’d still spend less on than buying name branded gold ones. I can talk myself in and out of it. and I’m running out of time....See MoreHelp updating brown bathroom
Comments (10)Thank you all. Really appreciate the thoughtful comments. I especially like @jackowskib idea of hanging an extra long shower curtain higher than normal to break up the brown. Also want to report that I went back today and turned the pot lights on for the first time, and the aqua vanity magically turned white!! So I think I will try to embrace the juxtaposition of brown and white as @shirlpp suggested. Will post an update once I move in....See Morequeeniesilky
