bathroom hell (blue tub, pink tiles), redo help needed
Comments (6)What a bathroom! What a neat tub and sink! Is this a vacation home or permanent? I'm not sure it matters but it would work better for a vacation home (psychologically anyway), but what about doing the tub/shower plumbing like an old clawfoot with shower added? Full surround shower curtain (or just two sides if you want to redo the tile nice and watertight I guess) with the showerhead piped openly from the lower plumbing and attached to the curtain rod? Wrong terms, I know, but maybe you know what I mean. LIke the one linked below (cheaper versions and different configurations are available--this was just a quick google.) I'd guess there used to be a thicker floor that was removed and nobody bothered to tell the toilet. If you're really being cheap, you could maybe get away with a lot of paint on the cabinets and curtains over the missing doors, but the cabinets would have to be sturdy enough to keep for that to work. Crisp white tile is inexpensive and you CAN put tile on a piece of plywood for the removable countertop. It'll be heavy enough you won't need to anchor it. Maybe you can DIY drywalling the ceiling. It's not a fun job, but it's a good bonding experience with whatever friends you can get to help. :) Here is a link that might be useful: example of ceiling mount shower curtain/tub-to-shower conversion...See MoreAny ideas for my bathroom?
Comments (11)Hi Beth! I lurk here now because we are redoing our main bathroom. As homemaker states, cauk with paintable silicone, prime with zinsinger (sic) and repaint. This will give you a fresh look. If part of the panels are popping up/lifting, use small nails first to flatten it down. The other option is a bigger project though one we know you can handle. Tiling using 4 x 4 tiles would be inexpensive. I'd cap them off with a squared edge wood trim similar to the rest of your house and maybe use one thin pencil liner after the first row to add some color. Tile behind the vanity because some day you may want to have a pedestal. In fact, for this project you should remove the toilet as well. But, with an Oct 15 deadline and liquid nails to scrape off I'd go with the first option. Though it's deadlines like those that really push these projects forward! I'm already thinking about how much I can get done before Thanksgiving. Lauren...See Morebathroom finished & mosaiced!
Comments (22)Thanks Klinger!! And thank you, Slow. I've 'clipped' the post so now it will be easy to find it in the future. I have these huge blocks of styrofoam and I'm going to make benches with them and also shape them like sculptures... I don't know yet HA!... and I want to mosaic them but figure I'll have to first tack chicken wire over them so that the cement mix/mortar mix will have something to adhere to. Then I want to plunk the tiles in the mortar mix. When I went to that Mosaic Garden that's how I think she did it - at least that's how it looked. The mosaiced wall didn't have grout, just the cement mix that squooshed between the tiles. Would you use Weldbond as the polymer? I'm sure that would work though I can get a product specific to bonding - probably have some leftover from paving projects but have Weldbond, too. Love that Weldbond. Anyway, does that sound like it would work? I really can't wait to get to that stage. This afternoon started cutting the styrofoam but I'll have to make the patio first. There'll be no moving of those benches once they're tiles. Ooooohhhh! I can't wait to get this project underway!! Will have to work quick cuz winter is on its way down under. Oh, and glad to hear you're healing!...See MoreTile most of the bathroom or tile the entire bathroom?
Comments (17)Sumod- The medicine cabinets are simple wood frames with a cabinet-grade plywood back that just sit in the stud cavity. Because of the dimensions, the front of the frame projects about 1"+ beyond the finished wall. The medicine cabinet doors are also plywood with veneered edges and they are attached to the frame with standard cabinet hinges (Euro hinges). The mirrors are just 1/4" plate glass ordered to size from a glass shop and held in place with mirror mastic and a metal strip at the bottom that you don't really see. The guy who did the cabinets just made the medicine cabinets as part of the job. I don't know about the door brand...we live in a large metro area that has lots of door shops and the doors are just solid core maple doors with the center cut out and a maple panel held in with molding. They're not stained; they simply have a couple coats of clear spray lacquer....See MoreShasta
