Comments (22)Neither one of the choices is good for your bathroom. The dark tile is too dark. Once you multiply the dark tile by many more, the room will appear much darker. All in all the brown tile is better - because it blends with your existing colors, but it is just too dark. The light tile doesn't blend with existing. The light tile has a pinkish tone and the tub is yellowish. The ligher tile doesn't mix well with the rest of the colors in the room. If you are going to spend the time to redo the tile, spend a little more time searching out some more choices. Given your counter and tub color, I would bring home quite a few more tiles and place them next to the tub and counter to see which looks best. Unfortunately, your tub is yellow toned and your counter is white toned - perhaps you can nix your counter too and then you will be able to redo with more compatible tile for the floor. This is so often the case when redoing a room, especially a bathroom. You want to change one feature and it affects all the remainder. I see where patricia43 is coming from. If one person in a similar neighborhood picks dated and uncompatible features for their home, they eventually have to sell for less. Thus the lower sale price brings down the comps for that neighborhood. This is in fact true for any area with similar homes. If you have 10 houses in an area and, for example, 9 have tile counters and one has formica counters and less costly upgrades and sells for lets say $10,000 less than the other homes. That lower sale is used as a Comp for the neighborhood and it does devalue the other homes. It is not a matter of decorating choices, it is a matter of upgrade choices and it does affect the whole neighborhood. Unfortunately, even appraisers are affected by decorating choices. The newer and more current a home appears the better the appraisal will be compared to a dated home. This is human nature. That's why car dealers spend money to detail their cars, perhaps put on seat covers, steam clean the engines, put on new wheels, etc. before they place them for sale. The detailed cars bring more money and sell faster than the run of the mill cars....See MoreHelp: Tile Decision- White or Beige Rialto Porcelain Tiles from L
Comments (27)robin, Thanks for letting me know the floors are oak laminate. It amazes me that I keep liking oak floors when I too had been dead set against oak floors due to not liking my veneer oak cabinets that came with my townhouse and this cheap oak engineered wood floors in the foyers that have very thick coarse grain in them that is very busy. Maybe I would even be open to an engineered oak floor that is not too grainy that is stained cherry. I also am still open to laminate but due to my cherry furniture in my office, I had my heart set on a cherry wood floor with tiled foyers. I just wish my foyers were bigger but I live in North Jersey and as single person needing a lot of square footage to have a big home office as well as lots of personal space, the stylish townhouse fit me better. If I sold my townhouse and moved south, I could get a really nice house with a big beautiful foyer but I am realizing being alone, I am not yet ready to move with my clients here an my clients are so nice. The location I live in is expensive and I chose this townhouse over the house with more land and more bedrooms that was the same price due to the location not appealing to me. Thanks also Robin for letting me know the paint color. It truly is very neutral and may be nice in my home office to warm up the walls. I will try a sample out when I am ready to repaint. I love all my window treatments in my home I chose except for my first choice that is in the home office. I dislike the long strings of my Alta (a division of Hunter Douglas) double honeycomb blinds since they are always messy and tangling. I dislike the neutral color I chose (an off-white with a taupe faint design in it that looks great in the day time) at night since the blinds then appear gray. I wish I went with the 3/4" size pleat rather than the 1/2" size pleat. But I did not make these mistakes again and I learned that it is worth paying a little more for retractable cords or continuous loop cords or going cordless if you are tall (I am not). When you are ready for blinds, let me know and I will take pics of my other window treatments that I love especially my Champaign colored Shangri-La sheer horizontal blinds in my family room that has a cathedral ceiling and a wall of windows. The blinds really make the room so bright and happy and goes so well with the Bone White walls and bright white trim. Everyone who sees them loves them. I also love my retractable corded top-down bottom up Architella black-out Duet blinds in the linen color in my bedroom softened up with crinkled soft white sheers around them....See Morebathroom tile. floor, floor/shower, floor/shower/wall?
Comments (37)I can't help but picture orange with this blue. Or a saturated blue and white. A textured all white curtain would look great as well. In no particular order, here are links to a few colourful patterned ones I found: Peaches - orange pink and green - Urban Outfitters Blue and white - Urban Outfitters Flamingo - Anthropologie Orange Contemporary - Rachael Taylor - Wayfair Medallion - Blue and White - Target Navy & white - Wayfair (might be too dark) Orange and white Ikat - Wayfair Lime? (Doesn't look lime on my screen) - Red Barrel Studio - Wayfair Moroccan Orange - Wayfair I think you can have a lot of fun with your shower curtain. So many colours look good with this blue. The trick might be to match the colour intensity....See MoreThree season room tile flooring help please!
Comments (24)I had a Vermont multi-size/color slate floor in my kitchen in the dorm apt in Maine. We bought the slate at Lowe's in Portland - it was about $1 per sq ft at that time. I have never liked a kitchen floor as much as I did that slate floor! With the multi-color/size tiles, it did not appear terribly dark. It was wonderful when the dogs (or my husband) came in with snow on all their paws (I had 5 dogs at one time up there, plus the "big dog" - i.e. my husband). It just dried and that was it. Once a year, my husband washed and sealed the floor. Other than that, I just used a broom on it. I have a sun porch and if the slab had not cracked at some time over the years, cracking the brick on top, I would put Vermont slate down in a heartbeat. I just can't deal with trying to level the slab on a 70 yr old house, and the slate will crack if I don't. If you don't care for multi-color, go with a natural green slate - it's a very pretty color. I like my sun porch to have flooring where I need not worry about water. I bring in many, many plants to winter over on the porch, and I have a spigot and coil garden hose to water all these, and I need to allow the water to come out the bottom of the pots (no saucers - pots too large). Slate would work very well....See MoreRelated Professionals
