Stone sink in master bathroom a good idea?
Comments (1)I'd go with your first instinct! Can't imagine how careful and/or worried I'd be all the time with one of those stones for a master bath sink. They LOOK nice tho :) Monica...See MoreModernize existing bathrooms, or build master bathroom?
Comments (24)Many thanks to everybody who answered, you have all been very helpful in clarifying my very muddled thoughts. Here is a hopefully clearer description of the situation: The house is a 50's ranch style, with 3 bedrooms and a hall bath (4.5x8.5 ft) clustered on one side of the house, and the kitchen, office/den and another hall bath (4x9 ft) on the other side of the house, with a great room in the middle. We plan to stay in this house as long as we can, but we are in this city for my husband's work, and if something happens (although unlikely with his kind of job), we know we'll have to move somewhere else; therefore, we'd like to make updates to the house while keeping resale in mind. Our (excellent) realtor said that for resale we should have an ensuite. After reading the comments, I have to clarify with him if he thinks a lack of ensuite will narrow down the market significantly, or if we 'simply' would not get the best price for the house. Most houses in the area are old (in the whole city actually), and we saw plenty without ensuites. We saw two of the neighbors' houses, and they did not have ensuites. This is what we considered: 1. Redo the bathrooms with the existing footprint (not that we have room to change anything inside), but we can go far into making them pretty, 2. Add a door from the master bedroom to the hall bath next to it, and close access from the hall. This I think would be a bad idea, not only because the people in the other two bedrooms will have to go across the house to the other bathroom, but also because the master bedroom will end up with windows on two walls, three closets on another, and two doors on the fourth side. Not restful. 3. Add another bathroom next to the master bedroom where the closets are, with one closet door transformed into a bathroom door. This bathroom would be 4.5x12 ft, although it could go to 5x12 if need be (but no more, because we'll hit a big window), which will have a shower but no bathtub. We talked to a professional who said it will fit fine with the caveat that the toilet will likely be the first thing you see in front of the door because of the current clearance requirements. 4. Build an addition. This again I think would be a very bad idea, since it would be blindingly expensive and the house is already on the higher side of square footage for the surrounding area. We will of course fix everything that is broken. The interior doors are the original 50s doors, hollow core dark wood look with lots of scuffs and holes, and they were cut short to fit the now non-existent carpet, so I would qualify changing them as fixing what is broken (and they bug me every time I look at them... ). The windows are a perk; we are still divided on those. I tend toward option 1, while my husband is going for option 3, although he agrees we do not need another bathroom. The reason I feel ill equipped to make this decision is that I'm originally from Europe, and even after so many years here I feel mildly perplexed about the North American love affair with bathrooms. Our previous rental was built in the last ten years and had a huge ensuite which I didn't like. I found it hard to keep as clean as I thought it should be, and it was so large I felt as if I was doing my business in public. Given the bathroom pictures on Houzz, I'm clearly in a minority. Your comments help ensure that I don't miss anything that might otherwise be obvious, so thanks again. And extra thanks to whoever makes it to the end of this post......See MoreFireplace in the master bedroom/bathroom. Good idea or no?
Comments (4)We have a two-sided fireplace. It's placed as you describe--next to the jetted tub. The big difference is that it faces the sitting area of our master and the toilet is contained in a little room with a door so there is no watching someone in there. We use it daily in the winter months and less frequently in the fall and spring. I often turn it on for a bit before I shower to make the bathroom extra warm. In the evenings we often watch TV in bed with the fireplace turned on. Because I work out of our our house I will frequently go to the sitting area with my laptop, turn on the fireplace and enjoy it. For us the expense has definitely been worth the money as we use it much more frequently than the wood burning fireplace in the family room....See MoreWould gray wall color look good in my bathroom? & advice on countertop
Comments (13)Thanks priairiemom. I picked up a sample of the Repose Gray & am anxious to try it on the walls. It is a very pretty color! Oh Wow! Thanks Tibbs! It's great to see a mockup. Wish I was that talented. It has me quite torn. But I'll start with trying the light shade first. Thank you to everyone for suggestions! :) I think maybe I should loose the valance? I looked at Lowes tonight to see if they carried the Delta champagne gold color so I could see if it could work with the polished brass on the shower door handles but they didn't have it (: Is there any other finishes you think could work with the polished brass?...See Moredrsaj

3 years agoCeiling is 12.5" high so it's permissible and safe to install a pendant 8 feet over the tub. AJCN, no need to be sorry. I'm asking for opinions so I appreciate you sharing yours, although I respectfully disagree. I'm seeing raindrop chandeliers everywhere and I think they're beautiful, although I might be forced to consider a different style if I can't find sconces I like to go with it.

They accept up to 60W bulb. Is that enough light for you?If you look at the reviews, there are customers who posted a picture of the sconces in their bathroom. It may give you an idea of how much light it gives and the overall look once it is mounted beside a mirror.
