Bathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums! (pic
Comments (56)This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage....See MoreBathroom vanities: Wherre did you get yours?
Comments (19)If youâÂÂre interested in RTA but want nice check out Conestoga cabinets at cabinetmakerschoice . com . You want to look at the Advantage line: The entire Advantage case is constructed from 1/2â³ Birch plywood with interiors finished in a durable UV clear coat (they used to use catalyzed varnish but not sure if âÂÂclear coatâ is the same as when I bought last). Cabinet shelving is 3/4â³ thick prefinished Birch plywood with an optional upgrade to solid wood shelving (I buy the solid wood shelving as the upcharge is small). The new Advantage line also offers optional 3/4â³ flush end panels, there are zillions of choices on door style, paint colors, glazes and stains. Or they will do a color recipe of your choice at a 25% upcharge. The other thing about this brand is that they make and have been making the doors for many high-end kitchen cabinets companies for years and years. Some of those companies buy the doors unfinished and finish them at their plant with their own colors and stains and some companies buy the doors already finished. If you snoop around online you will hear over and over how great their finishes are. IâÂÂm going to order my bathroom cabinets soon, just need to check and check and check again on my design before placing my order. I think they offer a design service if you need help but I have no idea how much they charge. IâÂÂd at least have a look at the site because they have just about anything one might dream of. You can mix and match too. For my vertical center countertop storage I am using a cabinet with a bottom drawer from the office line section....See MoreWhat are/did you use for bathroom vanities?
Comments (5)For the master bath, we used the same cabinetry that we used in our kitchen. We ended up spending $1100 on our 36" maple vanities with all-wood construction, and we're a lot happier with their "feel" than with the ones we found in-stock at the big-box stores like Home Depot. Those seemed to have problems with door alignment and just felt cheap. Our builder preferred having the all-wood construction in the bathroom to the particleboard construction. Since our vanities were 36", which is a standard size, we were able to get Crystal Green granite vanity tops, including the undermounted sinks for another $438 at Lowes. For our downstairs/guest bath, we just went with a pedestal sink look. We have subway floor tiles, and white beadboard wainscoting with blue walls, so we wanted a very simple, clean look, which the pedestal sink supplied. If you follow the link I'm posting below, there is our most recent downstairs bath photo, and if you scroll farther down, you'll be able to see the master bath as well. Cheers!

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. It’s also oriented to the room such that if you only use enough light at the vanity to wash your hands for a midnight potty run, it really isn’t enough to bother someone in the bed if you place the bed sensibly. Getting ready in the morning would be trickier if you needed to do makeup and so on so needed proper lighting, so that’s where a screen or a curtain would come in....See MoreJuan Ramirez
