Can I use Travertine for my kids bathroom countertop?
Comments (5)I have travertine all downstairs and it is easy to keep clean but it has lost its luster. I called for quotes to refinish it and well I could just lay more tiles down and come out ahead of the game. So I have learned to like it as is. I really don't have a problem with it staining. The only problem I see is you can only clean it with a dab of dish soap and water. You can't use any heavy chemicals on it cause it is calcium based and will disapear. I don't know maybe they use a different sealer on counter tops, I only have it on the floor but cleaning/chemicals is the only issue I see....See MoreThoughts on a counter top for my master bathroom vanity.....
Comments (1)You can see what I used with my calacatta gold honed tile and dark wood, furniture-style vanity: leathered antique brown, which is really more of a grayish brown color. I didn't want to use marble on the counter for maintenance reasons and because I couldn't find one that matched or coordinated well with the floor (even other calacatta's didn't look right). I also considered a gray limestone from Greece, but, again, the maintenance problems....See Morewood counter tops in bathroom?
Comments (9)Hello, We used a slab of reclaimed old growth cedar as a unique countertop with a hand blown glass sink in one of our offices: We paid about $500 for this slab. In our master bath, we have two Wm. Garvey teak wood vessels. These are incredible sinks and look the same today as when we installed them 4 years ago. Just soap and water clean up and some teak oil about once a year. I've put a link to the website where we bought them. Good luck!

Comments (6)I would call your $/sf very pricey. In Des Moines Iowa, its around $133/sf, I believe according to a quick look on the internet. National average is $175/sf. Anyway, I have marble in my bathroom and have been happy with it. Its not subjected to intense chemicals. No nail polish. Just toothpaste, hairspray, and soap. I love the marble. I have it honed. I also have a medicine cabinet that I think is terrific. Though I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I have drawers in the vanity for most things. I do love the large mirror. The history of my medicine cabinet is that I aquired the mirror for free back in the early 90's, before I knew what I had. I thought it was a lower cabinet door for a fancy home bar. So when I was redoing my one bathroom 4 years ago, I noticed mirrors in the show room that reminded me of the mirror I had stored in the basement. It was a Robern fairly large mirrored medicine cabinet mirror. So I had my wonderful carpenter make me a cabinet to go with the trim and cabinetry in the bathroom. I love it, and I think it's pretty....See Morejuly101918
