Hey Andreadeg! Are ya gonna use Oil-based poly?! Deft is a good brand! Yes...scuff-sanding is very important, since Polyurethanes don't really "hook" into each other very well. They dry as mostly independent layers, unlike Tung-Oils, like Waterlox. The important part here... * Use a Full Gloss for the 1st 2 or 3 coats. * If final desired sheen is Satin, apply that for the last coat. Ideally...do 2 coats of Satin!! * More work?...YES. Damn-near bulletproof floor?!...YES! * Sanding between each coat is helpful too. Faron

Love your tile! I would wait to decide until everything is in place. I am thinking that once you get a shower curtain added by the tub, and you see the mirror and outlets installed, you won't really have a good spot for a shelf above the toilet. A single piece of art, or perhaps a pretty wall pocket with some greenery in it, might be all you need, and would soften and add color to the space. On the wall to the right, I would think a single piece of framed art, or a stack of a couple of smaller pieces, would be fine.

If a room is already a little dark, sometimes embracing that is the best bet. I say go dark, but I lean more towards a deep teal or navy over a grey, just because you already have a lot of grey with the flooring and vanity.

Very nice djahlm! I love your house! It's been fun watching you transform your rooms. Btw, Where's groveraxle?!?
