Guest Bath (almost) finished - Before and After Pics
Comments (18)jillsee - thank you! It's actually a cheap-o Home Depot vanity/sink combo. This bathroom is not used a lot and we figured if our icky builder-grade cabinets lasted as long as they have, surely this would last awhile, too. :) I'm quite happy with the look and the whole thing has a pretty substantial feel to it, especially compared to what we had in there before. Plus, it was several inches less deep than the previous cabinet and really opens up the space a lot. When we re-do the master bath, we'll spring for higher quality cabinetry. But this vanity works really well for this space....See MoreBefore and (almost) After Photos
Comments (27)Hi, Beth! Your home is beautiful - more so now that you've put your heart (and soul & sweat & $$, lol) into it! She wasn't "sad", so much as "waiting for you"! Regarding the refinished floor, with the area in the center that was unfinished wood... In mine, upstairs, there are 2 "linoleum rugs" that didn't extend to the walls. The area under is unfinished, although the peremiter is. Is it possible the PO's removed them? I have pics of one of mine, I'll post them tonight - I'll even take a pic w/an edge pulled up, so you can compare. It's not held down well anymore. The other rug is still covered with w2w carpet. I caught a glimpse when I lifted a carpet corner WAY up. Hubby nipped that in the bud... Another day, lol! I don't have a link for you right now - and kids are calling - but google "linoleum rug", maybe with "old house" thrown on, and you'll see what I'm talking about. A side "weird" note.. I'd painted this room (& much of the rest of house) in the light sage green for 2nd sons nursery. Removed carpet a year later - and could not have picked better color to match if I'd taken a flooring sample to the paint store! You have a beautiful home - the love she's getting shows!...See MoreHelp before I ruin my almost finished kitchen
Comments (39)lucretzia, I happen to love the color of your cabinets - I'm glad your planning to find a way to love them too :) I happen to like the terracota backsplash w/your other choices - and like that you trust your gut w/colors and materials the way you do - it will work out beautifully, I think. You're getting great recommendations for hardware - I found mine at Te Ma (by accident) looking online - turns out this small company is within 10 miles of my house (I'd no idea) and so I was able to take advantage of a their factory sale. I've a sense you might find their hardware attractive....See MoreBefore and (almost) after
Comments (9)Thanks all! More to come this week. The granite is juparana delicatus and I lovvvveeeee it! It really is even better IRL. The floor... I'm glad you like it Jess! I know it probably won't be popular here but it's good old pergo in richland hickory. It might be a mistake with water in the kitchen, but after my unexpected love affair with the granite, I cheaped out for the floor. (Over improving is a real risk here, and I know this won't be ours forever.). And really I kept coming back to that sample so why not. And gagesgranny- funny you ask about the ceiling because it's on schedule to be painted. It's really a yellow/cream. O and these are the much debated slate appliances. I like them!...See Moresalonva
