Comments (19)olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A. Menn Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you for reading this far. :)...See More12 x 24 tile transition from basement to bathroom
Comments (7)Agree with Patricia. You'll get better flow if you skip the herringbone hall and keep it one pattern. Sort of unusual to have the same tile in bathroom as in surrounding areas...you usually like a little definition to the bathroom. And 12X24 is reeeeally big for a bathroom floor tile-unless your bathroom is huge, the scale could look very odd. Just some considerations....See MoreBathroom Tile Transition between Shower & Tub
Comments (5)Thanks Penny and Fori. Agree now that the "front" doesn't need to be tiled...so makes a transition unnecessary. Yay! Fori - I thought long and hard about doing a shower over tub, but decided to keep them separate. We have space for a 76" custom double vanity with storage, and a linen closet just outside the room. This is also our most conveniently located bath for guests (most often our parents) and I want to have a shower that they can use safely and comfortably. The tub is our only, so we plan to install a deeper one for soaking. The boys will only be here full time for 3-4 more years (then the tub is all mine!)...See More1940s main bathroom remodel - transitional lighting and mirror ideas
Comments (1)I find it confusing that you want to both make sure things go in your 1940s home, yet not look too dated. I would say that the large 3-section med cab is not dated enough. It is straight from the 1970s and 80s. You would better honor the era of the house if you go with two med cabs. Go with the larger ones if you can afford them and the alterations to the stud bays they will need. Is that vanity coming with that faucet? I would look for something with more curves, instead. The ones there are quite modern. Sconces on either side of a mirror provide the best light. You may be able to get three, with only one in the middle if the spacing on the wall works right, but you may need four. Or look for one with two lights in the center. Get out graph paper and draw your wall space, the cabinets you choose, and the placement of the sinks. You will have to work out the spacing to see if you can place sconces where they will fit on your wall, balance with each other, and not crowd the med cabs or any side walls....See MoreSuper Lumen
