Decisions, decisions - Tile around the bathroom walls?
Comments (22)Just my 1/2 cent. I would tile the entire wall, shower and behind toilet. It is the visual entry wall from your door entrance. I realize a curtain needs to be closed for the most part to dry, but i open mine for the rest of the day because it opens up the room, and i like my tile. It goes all the way up to a post and beam ceiling. I'm not sure why it bugs me to see so many breaks and jags in tile these days, up down and across, even stair stepping...shower steam and moisture does effect the wall above eventually and the wall towards the toilet just by the direction of your shower head. But more to the point is when this trend started. Having been in hundreds of NYC bathrooms original build from the turn of the century thru the 60's, they do not jog tile up down and around in some decorative way. Stopping at the division before your sink area is fine as that division makes sense. A friend of mine stopped the tile like your last post, but it was a budget concern, so maybe that is the reasoning? The recent 'modernists' in bath design seem to do a great job with many of these issues by taking tile all the way around at the shower curtain/glass door line...the entire room, or tiling one entire wall. In the first pic above, the nice traditional bath with vintage fixtures, i would have stopped the tile just above, by one or two tiles, the window hardware, all the way around clean. That would fall just below the sconces. Just a thought, probably just me......See MoreTime to make a decision on kitchen lights
Comments (15)Thanks everyone...great comments!!! Scarlett - Thank you :) the cabinets are the only thing that remains of the original kitchen...we replaced the stove and ineffective OTR micro, took out the raised bar, changed the granite and added the breakfast area cabinets. You're right about the color of the globes..there were many lights I also liked that had whiter globes and I dismissed them very quickly. The color and sheen of #2 matches the creams that are in the granite and pretty soon the backsplash tile... Parma - You know, I wish I knew what the granite was...the name they gave us was "Scott" which is the name of the owner of the the stone yard ;) I haven't seen another stone like it that i could even say maybe that's it...I'm stumped! Thank you for your compliments and I think I've seen your kitchen in the "Blonde" thread and yes, they are quite similar. I've been looking at lights practically everyday for weeks. I think that's what i'm looking for...something that's a little unexpected, but I don't want it to look like I closed my eyes and pointed ;) What draws me to #1 is the darkness of the metal. I'll have black leather barstools and there are plenty of dark streaks running through the granite. I hadn't thought of it being a little arts and crafts (which I love) but I see it now that you mention it. It seems like the tone of #2 would get lost, blend in too much...but it does match perfectly. Shee - Thank you! Your cabinets are beautiful, as is the rest of your kitchen :) How are you liking your island light? The globes on #1 say dark cream? So hard to tell online and no one carries either locally. Would adding my backplash help to rule out one or the other? I plan to use this blend behind the stove and then the coordinating porcelain subways as the field tile with a row or two of a reddish brown accent tile.

Comments (2)I envision a stool and apron with your very traditional fluted casing sides. I would remove the marble, and add a nice thick stool that protrudes out just under the window cranks. This stool also needs to extend past the fluted side casings, (horns) typically as much as it extends in front. Then add a very simple apron below, (back in lining up with at the upper casing) and then run the herringbone tile through below, matching in the pattern as best as a good tile setter can. For some added interest, the stool and apron could be fabricated out of the same marble as the countertop......See MoreSofa decision update and accent pillow help
Comments (11)I agree wait for the sofa for a better idea of what you want for chairs but I think something like this would go well. https://www.jossandmain.com/-200-36-062-L54-K~HKR6598.html?refid=GX93152643134-HKR6598&device=t&ptid=149277575818&targetid=pla-149277575818&gclid=Cj0KEQiA5bvEBRCM6vypnc7QgMkBEiQAUZftQHkacvJMeVqA4Ckj5gdpgxqdKAsBBQFwWFAWuVbUVBkaAkKF8P8HAQ Or one like this brings in colors from the shades https://www.jossandmain.com/Montpellier-Arm-Chair-WHI5677.html...See Morenuthinontv
