Vanity vs. Pedestal Sink for Half-Bath?
Comments (60)Yes, I wish I had a little alcove space in my half-bath like Bob's to cradle a sink like that. I also wish the arrangement of my room was like all the powder rooms pictured above, walking in FACING the fixtures. Instead, you walk in facing a window, and the sink is to the immediate right, and the toilet is on the same wall to the left of the sink. You lose a lot of the beauty of the fixtures that way. I love looking straight into the room to see the sink right there. As we've seen from all the pics posted here, a sink and faucet are not merely utilitarian fixtures. They can serve as striking sculpture! (Ditto the toilet actually! There are some beautiful ones out there now!). I'll try to make the best of the configuration I have. (If someone will get their caboose over here to help me with my project!)...See MoreBenjamin Moore Aura: Matte or Egg shell?
Comments (20)New house, high ceiling in kitchen, lots of windows, concrete floors, no trim, oak and sapelle woods. In Seattle area (Whidbey Island), so cloudy. Painting in BM white christmas (slight gray/blue) throughout, and pearl river (gray/blue/violet) in upper den that has wood flooring. A walkout basement studio area will be super white or chantilly lace. I plan to do the ceiling color the same as the room wall color, in each room. I was going to do eggshell, because designers seem to think matte finishes will look dingy over time and difficult to clean, whereas eggshell will last longer. In using most white and light grey with a high LRV (75-88), now I am wondering if it's better to use the eggshell to give the white a little brightness with some light reflective qualities. Anyone think that the Aura matte finish in whites look pasty, bland or blah? I will be using Aura paint and see they now have an Aura spa paint for bathrooms and its in a matte finish! Do people use matte when its rich deep color and an eggshell for whites? I did see that the pigment concentration in the matte and eggshell is high, 47+....See MoreWhat's Your Opinion on High Gloss Cabinets?
Comments (48)marshaoak - The protective film around the glossy cabinets should not have left any adhesive gunk behind, it defeats the purpose. Who is the manufacturer of these cabs? I'd contact them, give them an earful and ask what type of adhesive remover would be safe to remove the mess. Better yet, have them ship a bottle to you. For free. modellie - the sideboard is... well... it's actually... one and a half Godmorgon bathroom vanities (a discontinued version). Please don't laugh :-) I found them for a steal in the As Is, still in their boxes. We love that it's all drawers, so practical. Yes, you got it, the narrow open shelf holds placemats and trays. One of the drawers hides our plugged-in toaster. The bread gets toasted right in the open drawer. A square tray underneath the toaster catches any stray crumbs. Works beautifully. And of course we have half a vanity left (one complete drawer and 2 finished sides) which we will soon install as our vanity in the powder room we're currently working on. So rare for things to work out like that. funky - you're too kind. Yeah, even after all those years we've been living in this house, I still find myself gazing out the windows when I'm supposed to be doing things. It's really hard not to, with so many (almost) floor to ceiling windows and glass sliding doors....See MoreGE Cafe Series Matte White Finish?
Comments (543)[FYI: DELAYS on Cafe appliances are due to a chip shortage. It is not a problem with the GE/Cafe.] We have the Cafe white microwave and refigerator...LOVE THEM!!! (We are ordering the stove/oven soon. It will complete this space for sure!!) We ordered our refrigerator in March of 2021 and it arrived in March of 2022. Our microwave was in stock and was delivered and installed w/in a week. Our walls are SW Alabaster and our cupboards are SW Snow Bound. Our dishwasher is located in the island, which is painted Black, and we will also be ordering the black matte dishwasher....See Morebridget helm
