finished bathroom - sleek & modern master bath!
Comments (58)We used two of the lights - one over each sink. We did another bathroom in that house (we've since moved) - that bathroom was 5'x8', and we used one of the Artemide lights. It was plenty bright enough in there! We had the lights on a dimmer, which was really nice. Yes, our contractor built out a soffit above the medicine cabinets. It wasn't my first choice for how to do it, but it ended up looking really good. I wanted to recess the cabinets, but the Ikea ones are not made to do that, and the finish details were too complicated to make it work. So we decided on the soffit, which was much simpler. I wouldn't hesitate to do it the same way again....See MoreSemi-modern bathroom.. Tile is almost finished!!! Beautiful!!!
Comments (64)Yup, that's right. Blanco. They sent me a few samples of all the whites they have (no charge!) and I picked the truest, whitest white... the others were greyer, or bluer. I also wanted a more monolithic look, not the varied look that seems more common in glass mosaic installations, where there are irridescent and slightly different whites mixed in. Most places only sell those mixes, I found. Be aware that they do take on a cooler, bluer tone when set in thinset that's called white (but actually grey). If keeping it as white as possible is important to you, find a true white thinset. I'm now happy with the color, but was bummed at first because it didn't go with my original design palette (creamy whites and tan/neutrals). But the new palette works too!...See MoreModern aesthetic bathroom: part 2...materials
Comments (7)Hi Flyleft- I ordered my glass tile so now I am not worried about supply-- sorry about that! The place I used is okglasstile.com. I took my sample into the high-end tile shop nearby to look at it with the other materials I am ordering, and we compared it to the MEGA expensive Bizzaza glass tile, and the tile saleslady agreed it looked like essentially the same thing. It ends up being less than $2/sf if you order it in bulk (compared to ~$35 for the Bizzaza!). Hope it is OK. Another place I considered is Susan Jablon mosaics. Her very plain 3/4" opaque glass mosaics are about 3.50/sf if I recall. I did look at the Hollviken, but these sinks are what appears to be knock-offs of the Ronbow CB3028. I got them on eBay for about $150 each, they have not yet arrived so I hope they aer decent. I actually bought the new Ikea Godmorgon Braviken vanity top, but then we decided we preferred ceramic, so now I have to drive all the way back to Ikea to return it! We decided to do the white glass mosaic on the tub apron and deck, after all. Hope that's the right choice! I'm probably going to look for an 18 x 18 white marble tile that goes with my calacatta mosaic (but without veins) for the shower curb. It'll have to be sliced up and bullnosed....See MoreModern retro bathroom hex tile is busy. Need rug help
Comments (3)I'd go with a small 2 x 3 jute flat weave to go right in front of the vanity and nowhere else. Will work with your baskets. Something like this: If you want, you could also get one with black canvas tape trim, that will pick up the black in your tile. Pottery Barn makes them....See Moreshirlpp
