Comments (7)Thanks for the suggestion pcweary! Yours looks great. I ended up going to my local stone shop to buy my vanity countertop. They said they could make a transition for me with a slope to meet the dimensions I need with the same material as the counter top. I'll try and post pictures after its installed to show how it looks....See MoreWhat is on your bathroom floors? ... tile wise that is.
Comments (5)Thank you. Though I love the look of allover white hex, in the powder room I am trying to pull some of the colors in the art glass into other hard surfaces in the first floor. I will try to attach photos that show the relationship between the front door which is art glass and the powder room at the end of the hall next to the stairs. I have also included a shot of the front door and the windows in the dining room.There is also a shot of the powder room as it is now with the toilet and sink just resting in place. On the floor are some paper tests for one pattern. In the shot from the hall, the two pipes delineate where the radiator will be. I can add post some photos tomorrow of other (smaller) patterns we are trying. There actually is a fair amount of floor visible, just not around the edges. The pattern will also be visible from the foyer. Pardon the poor quality of the cel phone shots. I always like seeing visuals, so I thought this might help. I hope my first attempt importing from photobucket is successful....See MoreBathroom paint color dilemma with blue/green floor tile.
Comments (7)Maybe this houzz quote suggests a gray not too cool, or too warm: "select a trim color - if painting walls a cool color (greens, blues, purples or grays), find a white that reads cooler. Put swatches of white paints next to one another and see how they compare; some will appear more warm or beige-like, and others very light gray with hints of green, blue or purple."...See MoreTiling over old tile in hall bathroom that is lower than hall
Comments (18)@Angela - The OP's first paragraph stated marble over a concrete slab. " I really think you should remove the old tile." Why? If it's set properly It should last the lifetime of the structure. Bonding to it is not a issue. You'd need to remove the underlayment/top layer of subfloor to even the floor anyway after you rip out tile. If this was wood framed how could you determine that without knowing what underlayment was used and condition after rip out? Plywood, mud bed, CBU's, uncoupler, antifracture membrane etc. The OP is trying to gain height. Most likely you can leave the underlayment in and apply a self leveling underlayment on the top to achieve desired height....See MorePeke
