20 (inch) Tile in This Bathroom OK?
Comments (11)Thanks for the opinion's everyone :) And thank YOU for the excellent drawing kgwlisa. MUCHO better than mine (g) Yes, I do have 28.5 inches for the toilet. It's in the same spot it's been in for 26 years and the vanity is as well (at that end). I feel more secure about the 20" tile. Thanks again. BTW, if anyone here would like another challenge, I posted a similar question on the JB Tile forum concerning the tile for the new dining room (was a living room) that opens to the kitchen. We'll use the same tile as in the kitchen but possibly add a contrasting color from the same series making a checkerboard pattern. Tile in kitchen is 12" straight. Tile in dining room could be 18" diagonal, 12" diagonal", etc. Monica os...pkirkha1, I'd love to see the rest of your bathroom :) Here is a link that might be useful: It's Time to Make a Decision (to mix or not to mix)...See MoreBathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums!X-Post
Comments (6)Lovely! I like the classic white tile and porcelain and how you used furniture pieces in the bathroom. I love that the storage at the end of the tub has pull-outs that can be reached from the toilet. Your custom sink and backsplash and counter are unique and beautiful. Yours may be the first bathroom sink I have seen in which a small or medium dog could be washed! That is a good thing! I showed your pictures to my DH because I am thinking of classic tiled walls with a chair rail for when we redo our bath in a couple of years. He liked it! I was expecting him to say, "too old fashioned." He did not, he said it looked nice. From him, nice is a compliment. He even liked your rows of listello. I was just at the Tile Shop's site the other day looking at the Hampton tiles because someone was selling some on Craigslist. I am hoping to do as you did and get what I can cheaper there, and fill in the rest from the store. I can see that you worked very hard to secure all of your materials - and then cut the floor tiles to size and culled the Hampton tiles, too! You succeeded very well in getting the look you wanted while saving money along the way. Congratulations, and thank you for the pictures and great detail and supply list....See MoreBathroom layout idea with 2 small bathrooms - including measurements
Comments (19)The "regular" bath layout that jensbride posted first is very similar to what our DD & DS shared for years and worked very well. The door, however, was a pocket style and placed directly across from the toilet. This allowed the vanity to be scooted around the corner to take up the whole wall. It leaves the toilet close to the tub, but with lots of elbow room. Our kids just learned to keep the door partially closed when the bath wasn't in use due to the "view"....See MoreAdvice on converting first-floor full bathroom to half bathroom
Comments (19)As a real estate appraiser I would advise to try to keep it. It will reduce the valuation by a few percent. If I were to appraise your home, I would now have to compare and adjust it from a 3 bathroom home to a 2.5. That's anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 adjustment downwards. Understand that I don't know where you live or your real estate market. Even though there is no bedroom on the floor, it's a very usable space. At the very least, I'd put in a shower. You just never know when someone will lose their mobility. It looks like an older home. If your laundry room is in the basement, you may want to reconfigure it to bring the laundry up to the main living area. That would be an improvement in utility and the only reason why I would consider eliminating it. Hard to see everything, but you could reconfigure the doorway/entry and take over that vestibule area....See MoreRelated Professionals
