Bathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums! (pic
Comments (56)This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage....See MoreBathroom window finished, finally close to finishing the remodel
Comments (2)Kevin, it really took me by surprise when I scrolled down! The treatment is beautiful and I think stands up well with the other strong elements in your room, including your cat ;) In particular I think it is a good fit with your vanity in style and substance. Now the real test is ... do you find yourself laying in the tub gazing up at it lost in thoughtful admiration?...See MoreMaster Bathroom window covering -
Comments (20)Wow; lots to think about! There isn't a lot of room for doing an inside mount with shutters the way it is BUT we just had these windows put in by our contractor with the addition. Since he was supposed to match our other windows, we could always have him fix it (not sure how but that is what the guy said that came out to give us an estimate on various window treatments should we want shutters). I love drapes but am afraid with the clearance so close to the door on the left and to the vanity on the right, it might not be the best choice in this situation (otherwise, I think I'd be brushing up against it when I wash my face). I would love to keep them open at times but for practical purposes we need something that has at least the bottom half covered at all times (this is at the front of our house and our house while it isn't on a major street, is a major pedestrian highway!) :-) I found this picture online - http://www.southernliving.com/home-garden/decorating/master-bathroom-decorating-design-00417000073793/page18.html (image 16 of 71) or for more on the bathroom, you can view this clipping - http://www.southernliving.com/home-garden/idea-houses/southern-living-georgia-idea-house-master-bathroom-00400000051043/ They went with a 3/4 cafe curtain in a sheer white linen. Wonder if this offers much privacy or if I should add a (white) black out fabric behind it. I think we might be able to get away with a regular cafe curtain in the space if we didn't mind those walking by to see our heads/shoulders but the 3/4 might be best and maybe even look better - thoughts? I don't sew so I'll have to do some searching around for these curtains. Any leads and thoughts on doing something like this? If so, would you have them add the wood between the windows and do two separate cafe curtain rods or keep it off and do one bar across the entire window? Any tips on where to get chrome cafe curtains? Rejuvenation has some nice ones but they are not offered in chrome?...See MorePrivacy glass for bathroom window
Comments (24)Has anyone used the Solyx Safety Film? Their web site says it replaces the need for tempered glass. The reason I'm asking is that I'm remodeling the upstairs hall bathroom and live in a tough inspection township. When they came to look at the rough in, they said I need to replace the bottom pane of my double hung window, which is behind a toilet, with either tempered glass or 3M safely film. The window is within 60" from the side of the bathtub. (Of course, if you fell out of the tub you'd have to also clear the toilet somehow.) I can't find any specifications for the Solyx and I know the inspector is going to insist on verifying it's as good as the 3M....See MoreCarrie B
