tiny 2nd floor hall bath layout dilemma - appreciate additional h
Comments (2)Well, if you plan to do anything at all with the door, you might as well think about changing it to swing INWARD. I have a pet peeve with bathroom doors that swing out into the hall way. Or other rooms. With this one change, it might make a difference with the door staying closed most of the time. And, you could find a little mechanism for the door hinge which would close the door. I have some of those hinges on my kitchen cabinet doors, which are not as heavy or big as regular door hinges, but that is what they do. And I love them. It is also possible to get good quality bifold doors, and I've purchased several of the Pinecroft doors from Home Depot. Online, since they are not in my local store. They also sell the Feather River Doors in bifold configurations, with different kinds of tops and bottoms. Your bathroom is really pretty, love that window and the sink too. Don't think you'd gain much advantage by moving the door and sacrificing your linen closet.You'd be opening up a whole can of worms....See Morewhat is the best flooring for a kitchen, dining room, hall, bath?
Comments (11)Have you looked at the associated pros and cons of each one as can be found in a number of kitchen books or similar? That may suggest to you some things that you do or don't care about--standing, coldness, break-y for dropped things,cleaning, grout, cost (for some people that would eliminate a few materials right off the bat) --and may give you some focus. Your decorating style will also give a lot of direction--very formal, no dings allowed, vs. weathered, etc. and also what type of furnishings. In theory, each product line would have an array of choices to fit different styles, but some are more formal than others. I guess I've not seen as much hardwood used in baths , because you might have major drips every day, but a greater concern to me is that by definition you would have moist bath mats. Drips you can wipe up. Wet stuff should not remain on the wood floor. Of course there may be more intensive treatments you could do to the wood in the bath--like marine finishes --that would not have to be applied in the other rooms. Other issues are whether the bath is major kid-tub overflow type, vs. guest bath, grown-up bath--in terms of water abuse (notwithstanding a plumbing emergency). Someone else with a wood-floored bath may wish to comment. If you search this forum, you can find lots of threads that tackle this question from various angles--folks asking wood vs. tile, etc plus I think just about every material you have listed has been debated on some thread. Those debates often are a good way to get thinking about pros and cons. So try some queries about specific products or even "floors"....See MoreBertch 60" single bowl vanity for hall bath
Comments (32)Sorry, my bad. With all the numbers in my head, I always mess up with the size.. It is indeed 60" vanity. It was a tough decision between 54" Bertch Bath Osage in Brindle vs 60" Bertch Marketplace Visage in Sable.I was ready to place the order for 54" when my husband pointed that the toilet will be 14" away from the toilet paper holder(which will be on the vanity side) and that might be an issue with kids. I did not wanted a stand alone holder plus needed someone to give me a push for the 6 drawers as well.:):) One question. My faucet is chrome but I took brushed nickel hardware for the vanity. For the above the vanity light, can I go brushed nickel as well? Will the chrome faucet look odd? I was reading in one of the posts, might be posted by linelle, that we can mix n match the colors as long as they r not different family. Thanks...See MorePaint dilemma for front hallway. idea gone wrong.
