Bathoom layout nightmare
Comments (30)This is so encouraging, I have a similiar situation and have to remodel my bathroom but the nightmare is two-fold. I can’t seem to arrange everything in a way so I can get a wheelchair around. My bathroom is 9’ x 9-7” with a tub and surround, a water closet (toilet), double vanity, a small standing shower and an entrance much like yours. I must remove all the walls and make it an accessible bathroom. I’d like to make it as pleasant and comfortable as possible for my wife, hopefully a place for her to sit, do her makeup and enjoy it, it’s her space. I imagine a design as close to an everyday master bath yet functional. I’m anticipating my condition will progress so I’ll have to sell one day. But at the moment I’m able to use my right side, no use of left though, arm/hand/fingers and Ive got to tear this bathroom out ASAP. If anyone can help I’d appreciate It. Thanks....See MorePainted cabinet nightmare - help
Comments (26)Don't do anything to the cabinets yourself until you know that you absolutely will not get any satisfaction from the painter. The current state of affairs is evidence! Document all your interactions with them about this. Use email and photos, and avoid person to person conversations (by phone or in person) unless you can document them. If you haven't already, go back to your contract with the painter. See if it mentions the steps they will take to insure a good finish (ie sand, clean, prime). Does it mention a warranty? Does it mention what type and brands of paint and primer they will use? What does it say about the pull installation? If it has those elements, I would have it in hand when I discussed the poor outcome. Clearly they botched the pull install. It might be harder to prove that they didn't prime or sand, but I think it can be done - especially if you can scrape a good chunk of the paint off with a fingernail, with "action pictures" to show that the wood beneath the paint has the original finish intact, and no primer coat. Be firm and focused on what you need them to do to make it right for you. Don't let them distract you with blaming you or the cabinets or the weather or the homebuilder or whatever. Be simple, clear and calm. Don't threaten until it is clear that they will not make it right. I think that you could go to small claims court with this, but reviews on Yelp, or anything else you might have locally complete with pictures might be enough. There is a thread on here from a couple of months ago that details how the poster managed to get satisfaction from a shady contractor in court - might be worth your time to find and read it....See MoreFurniture layout nightmare - help!

Comments (66)Nice improvement. That's the very thing I would have suggested for the bay window. Have you ever tried the bedroom rug in this room? I think I like it better, and since it has no fringe, it might hold up to family traffic a bit better. However, it may be quite a bit smaller, but the center medallion would be a beautiful floor focal here. I do like leggy chairs to sit entirely on or off rugs. Did you ever try centering the rug with the bay and then floating the sofa to face the windows with a traffic path behind it? I think that would still leave room by the single window for the play area. You might also float the sofa directly out from that smaller window and put the chairs at the entry end, thereby blocking a bit of the play area from the view of the entry and social area. I preferred the hutch with art above instead of the books. Wonder if it could be hung above the chair rail on the opposite wall; sort of out of direct view from the entry and living area. If you moved the base into the living wall where your family portrait is, the space between the living and dining areas could be a nice play area. Lower the portrait to 5" above the hutch base. Would the two large gray framed pieces work right and left of the bay window, centered 5' above the floor? Hope you'll keep tweaking1...See MoreMDLN
