Hi Kim, so many comments to fish through but I think the only for sure thing so far is the wood look tile flooring? SO do yourself a big favor here and commit to white tile. Keep it clean and classic. Bring in fresh color with your paint. If you want that blue tile then do just a touch as a stripe or trim in the shower. What are your counters? Cabinets? Fixtures? Here I've used the wood plank tile on a herringbone for floor. In shower kept it simple with a beveled white large format subway for walls. Inset niche with a Carrara hexagon and did the same on shower floor. It leans coastal with the paint color and Capiz shell chandelier.

I am torn between pattern and texture...i love the natural shell penny tiles for texture (Dying to put them in my half bathroom!!), and rustic cement style tiles with bold pattern as well.

This isn’t a great photo but we will have a double door entry. My husband went overboard with canless lighting but I can’t do anything about that at this point. There are 6 lights in the center of the room (1 is closer to the great room so doesn’t really fit into the group) - the flush mount lights will either be in the center 3, with the largest centered OR it will be smaller flush-canless-large flush-canless- smaller flush. I don’t know if that makes sense to you but that’s what I’m working with. I wanted a flush mount centered in the doorway but was told that wouldn’t look right - what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♀️

> @joseph_corlett Depends upon what part of the country you're in also. Do you get hurricanes? West Coast -- no hurricanes. Just forest fires. > @User. You're going to need an engineered curtain wall assembly to do that justice. We probably won't do any curtains at all. Our backyard when it's finished will be totally private. > @lkbum_gw I'd aslo reccomend contacting a local glass company, one that does commercial installations. Google "commercial glass" for your area. Ooo. That is an idea. I will do that! > @palimpsest One way I am thinking of getting a more open look back is to reduce the number of divisions I am giving that some thought too. Ours isn't too bad from a divisions perspective, but even fewer would be even better. > @dan1888 Thank you so much for linking me to specific product lines. That is REALLY helpful. I will definitely thoroughly look through all of them this week. > @Shasta We considered replacing the sliding glass doors but were able to repair them by replacing the rollers and adjusting them so we just replaced the glass in them too. Who did the repair on your sliding glass doors? Was it the same people who replaced the glass, or are there companies who specialize in sliding door repair? If so, what is that specialty called? Because that would definitely be of GREAT interest. If someone could make these glide smoothly and quit leaking, that would solve everything.
