Help choosing bathroom colors - vanity and walls
Comments (14)nosoccermom, I have considered it, I saw your posts about it and yours looks great! I ordered the samples though and none really looked good in my rooms. The colors that company has are too busy and/or dark for these bathrooms, especially with the existing floor. However I did find some patterned vinyl contact papers I am considering - they have some other granite patterns and terrazzo and marble, too! Check these out: Terrazzo marble brown marble I just am having hard time envisioning an overall color scheme for some reason, I don't want to decide on the countertop without considering the floor and how the wall color will tie it together....See MoreHelp choose vanity, tile etc for bathroom
Comments (22)The Seta porcelain is from Italy (link to my local tile shop where I bought the tile. It is available in 6x24 and 12x24. I'm using the 6 in a herringbone in the master bath (under construction and not yet grouted). Sorry, there are no lights in there. The 6x24 tiles were $7.49 sf. The photos don't show the real color. For some reason the photos look brown, but in person, I assure you that the floor is as silver as the marble shower. A side note on the overhead lights -- our building code won't allow those over the tub. I have a SolaTube centered above the tub. There will be wood window grilles/muntins in the sashes. The vanity is Restoration Hardware Odeon in a single extra-wide with a Carrara Marble top -- the top and sink came with the vanity. I bought during a sale and it's gorgeous.. (My husband died last year and one of the most difficult things each day was seeing the extra sink, so I went with one sink) 12x24 laid in a straight angle, instead of diagonal. This is my laundry floor and it is grouted with Mapei silver epoxy. Also under construction, so no lights. It is very light silver and the weblink I provided accurately shows the silver color. I debated porcelain vs marble in the shower. The price, $12.99 sf, was the same for the Bianco Carrara Gioia 3x6 honed, and porcelain beveled subway. I didn't want marble on the floor! The floor in the shower isn't installed yet. The shower floor will be Paso Shiny Grey 1x1 at the very expensive price of $17.43 sf using Mapei Warm Grey epoxy grout. There's no link on the website for that one....See MoreNeed help with bathroom vanity - x-post with Bathrooms
Comments (13)I had the exact same problem. I picked out the vanity I wanted but did not think about the fact that it wasn't made to sit flush against the wall. I spent a month looking for something else, but in the end we decided to go with something shorter and have it not be against the wall. But we were going from 72" to 60" which is probably not workable in your mom's situation. I did find a lot of vanities that did have flat sides and could work in a corner, if you are willing to have the countertop fabricated. They just need to not have any trim detail on the top or bottom like the one you picked out does. I would just look at the ones without the pre-made tops. Because the pre-made top will still leave you with a slight gap because of the countertop overhang. This is an example: Avanity Modero which is sold everywhere, not just at Lowe's. The cabinet we ended up buying is an Avanity Madison which won't work for you, but I assume it is of similar quality. We are pretty happy with it. The drawers and doors have soft close but I do feel like the glides in my Ikea kitchen drawers are better quality. It is very pretty and I wanted a stained wood so I am really happy with our choice. If I had been willing to go with a painted finish, I think we might have stuck with the 72" Modero....See MoreBathroom vanity tops and MDF bathroom vanities.
Comments (5)Millworkman, I think I must have read somewhere that you shouldn't use granite on MDF cabinets Patricia Colwell Consulting, the vanity does not come with a top. It was just shown with a top. The Hayneedle website description said it was just the cabinet and it is just the cabinet (arrived this past Friday). Siamesey, I hear ya but since I spent a ton of money converting the tub to shower, I have to save where I can. Unfortunately, when you combine the needs of my mother (the main user of this bathroom), the style that I would like, along with the need to work around the plumbing location, I actually don't have a lot of choices. It's been really hard to combine the first two of those and find a vanity with drawers on the left hand side (the plumbing dictate). I looked at custom made and even semi custom made and no, I can't do that. Even though the vanity is made of MDF and is RTA, to me it has better quality than some of low end all wood vanities that I've seen. Also, most of the cabinets I've looked at still seem to have MDF in them somewhere, especially white cabinets which is what I wanted for this bathroom....See Moreaprilneverends
