New Bathroom Vanity & Counter - Not Square Wall....Ideas?
Comments (20)Thanks everyone for the ideas! I'm still a newbie to the forums so I didn't know how to find my posts. We've thought about going down to the 24" or 26" vanity, but I think we need more space. The more we look at it, the more we are thinking we need to just go with a templated granite and have it custom made to fit the space. The idea of the side splash sounds great BUT I think because the space is in the back side of the vanity, either the side splash will wind up being too short in the front side of the vanity or the back splash will be too short on the right side of the vanity. Unfortunately we can't "scootch" the vanity over to the right any more as it is already crowding the toilet a bit. I think it comes down to two options: - a smaller vanity, 24" or 26" - a templated granite On a side note, we are going to put the bathroom on the back burner for now and concentrate on the only major renovation our house needs: the split foyer basement/lower level. Thanks again for all the ideas!...See MoreBathroom Countertops
Comments (21)While talking solid surface, don't forget Swanstone. We are likely getting their roll-in shower pan and walls. Some of their newest colors are not the speckled look, but more swirly. Don't know for sure about the curling iron for that, though. Couldn't you put a granite or other stone or porcelain or metal trivet down to set it on? I saw a kitchen reno on DIY network recently that used an epoxy resin laboratory benchtop material for the kitchen. I have that in my garage as my workshop countertops because I bought metal lab cabinets off Craigslist. This stuff is heat, acid, VOC and pretty much all-substance proof. It now comes in colors. If you want to see some of the original black stuff, go to the Smaller Homes forum here and search for Mama Goose's Kitchen. She has it next to the fridge, if I remember correctly. Hers is used, from a high school chem lab. You can refinish it if it becomes marred....See MoreBathroom Tile, Counters and Drop in Tub Deck Help
Comments (3)I’d suggest you use the quartz on you tub deck because tile sizes go in and out of style. Depending on when you sell, they can date your renovation. Regarding the marble, when I recently renovated my ensuite, I was strongly advised not to use it where water might sit because, in time, it will yellow, even if it’s been sealed. After I’d heard that, I realized that that was why my former shower threshold was stained....See MoreBathroom remodel, what counters, sink, lighting, backsplash, paint?
Comments (5)I think the cabinets are lovely and would lend themselves to many options. Are you wanting granite? other solid surface? It's a fairly neutral bathroom as is (floor and vanity) so what colors are in the rest of the house and or are your leaning towards? Also, while it;s great for pros to offer help on here, I thought the forums were to share ideas and private messaging was more for personal or unique info....See MoreRelated Professionals
