My small bathroom finally finished
Comments (15)I actually had alot of fun with it, except for the times I was frustrated, impatient and going crazy because of the mess in the rest of the house :) I have a computer program that helped me plan it out. Thank you girlcat. stayn, The sink measures 20 X 14 from the outside edges. With it being undermounted it measures about 19 X 13 1/2. I bought it on ebay before I had even demo'd the bathroom in January. I'd have to look at my pile of receipts to be sure, but I think it was $140 including shipping. I was really excited when I finally stumbled onto it because I'd been looking for something that would work for an 18" deep vanity for awhile. I don't remember the vender it's been so long ago, but I found it by typing in 14" vessel sink on ebay. ann, the chipped edge granite was a chunk that was left over from when they cut my countertop. I had asked them to give me all the stuff they normally throw away. I thought it was perfect, so I cut it to fit there and polished away the sharp edges. Most people that see it like it but one person (my Dad, when I sent him pics)thought it was "temporary". he he......See Morenew pics of finished house - finally
Comments (31)Hi again, To answer a few of your more recent questions: The shingles are Landmark 30 year shingles in Black Moire. As for the lighting fixtures, I got the pendants and the chandelier in the dining room from American Lighting here in Knoxville. I wish I could tell you the brand but I can't remember. I picked them from a catalog. The ceiling fans all came from Lowes. And the sofa is made by Broyhill. I found the style on their website and went to a local furniture store to pick out the fabric. It was literally 1/2 the price of a similar one I had wanted from Pottery Barn and it is a very well made and comfortable sofa....See MoreWe're finally done choosing our finishes for the new house!

Comments (10)rufinorox- They are actually Whirlpool appliances! I would have preferred Kitchen Aid or Frigidaire, but the builder (it's a new build) doesn't offer. Thanks! jsweenc- I figured out that I am fine choosing as things go along. Choosing floors, having those down, choosing what comes next, having that in.... But all at once on small samples kicked my butt!!! But, we're happy! Thanks!...See MoreMy 'Mediterranean' Kitchen finally finished! (Pic heavy)
Comments (26)Marthavila - I think that is the nicest thing anyone ever said about any kitchen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Dianalo and Boylanite2 - the stove is my pride and joy. This is what started the whole reno, although for a long time the Blue Star was the forerunner. Of course the hood had to follow. I have to say, I went through so many versions of tiles and marble, and backsplash patterns, and of course, I have been influenced by the white subway tile versions, until I realized that mine was not a white subway tile kitchen, no matter how much I may like the subway tile look, and then I just stumbled upon this tile at some closeout place and it turned out perfect. Andi - Travertine Mart was great to work with. Their pricing, with delivery, was so much lower than anyone local that it took everyone out of the running, and the quality is great. I have looked at lesser tiles locally that cost at least 4 times as much, and that's after you add their shipping costs. I would recommend getting liftgate delivery from them, as it's a minimal surcharge and the truck comes with a forklift to unload everything. This stuff is HEAVY and the pavers are almost twice as thick as my tiles. My tile color is country classic, which is a mix of ivory, noche and what they call blue, which is really a version of gray, in the brushed and chiseled version. It needed to be filled unlike the outdoor pavers. If you use an enhancing sealer, the color comes out brighter and the variation is more noticeable, but I wanted the floor to be the backdrop, so we just used a regular sealer that does not enhance the color. I would highly recommend them shipping costs notwithstanding. I'm already toying with the idea of using the pavers outside, although, budget constraints aside, it may be too cold here in the winter for travertine. Sayde - thank you for the kind words and for all your support throughout this process. We are all looking forward to your "unveiling"....See MoreKathsgrdn
