Bathroom remodel input needed
Comments (5)At first glance, what about moving your tub to the opposite wall and put a nice long vanity where your tub is now. Agree that area with the TV just doesn't work. I would play with this a bit more with paper cut outs and a scaled graph. It helps to move stuff around that way. Also keep in mind some areas need a certain amount of clearance to work properly. I would try and move toilet if you could somewhere else. It's kinda just sticking out there. Look into moving doors and/or moving into closets. You mentioned your on a budget, before you get too in love with a freestanding tub, do a little on-line shopping on that it's a budget buster....See MoreBathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums!X-Post
Comments (6)Lovely! I like the classic white tile and porcelain and how you used furniture pieces in the bathroom. I love that the storage at the end of the tub has pull-outs that can be reached from the toilet. Your custom sink and backsplash and counter are unique and beautiful. Yours may be the first bathroom sink I have seen in which a small or medium dog could be washed! That is a good thing! I showed your pictures to my DH because I am thinking of classic tiled walls with a chair rail for when we redo our bath in a couple of years. He liked it! I was expecting him to say, "too old fashioned." He did not, he said it looked nice. From him, nice is a compliment. He even liked your rows of listello. I was just at the Tile Shop's site the other day looking at the Hampton tiles because someone was selling some on Craigslist. I am hoping to do as you did and get what I can cheaper there, and fill in the rest from the store. I can see that you worked very hard to secure all of your materials - and then cut the floor tiles to size and culled the Hampton tiles, too! You succeeded very well in getting the look you wanted while saving money along the way. Congratulations, and thank you for the pictures and great detail and supply list....See Moreguest bathroom refresh input needed
Comments (11)it's dated in terms that one can quess when it was put in(in this sense most things are dated or will be); but it's highly desirable for many right now who appreciate retro. there is even a site called Retro Renovation I think..where one can hunt plumbing in color etc together with that I realize that if one's not a fan of a color-one can either get used to it and work around it, or will continue to actively dislike it, and not much to be done about that yes, putting in a white toilet will accentuate the color you seem not to be a fan of...not a whole lot, a bit. Probably because we're so used to toilet bowls being white, it won't make that much of a difference. putting in gray floors would be, one the other hand, very wrong next to that tub and tile, they'll clash, unless you rip them out then it's a whole different scope of work so I'd do something else..seeing how you prefer gray and all see your basket you chose yourself? it's a perfect example..it has tan, and it has gray, and they work together very well, they don't fight, they complement each other what one often can't achieve with switching out more "permanent" materials like flooring, next to other elements, one can achive with accessories, to tie things he likes more with things he likes less say you find a shower curtain that contains both tan and gray (and say, white or off white). If it's substantial enough it'll look very pretty. Can be no-fuss, or can be frilly, or whimsy..that'd depend on your style. Yet the colors will look good. Or. Say you change the toilet bowl, you paint the tub. You leave the tile as is..seems very light color to me. (yes..it's not offensive at all. I wish I had yours))) You put a different floor because yours bugs you. okay, just don't do that gray. Find another neutral. This one will lock you in. If you want driftwood color-which is indeed usually warmish gray-ish kinda wood-it's still much warmer in nature than this gray. And you want it to be like wood. But this doesn't look like wood. It's already more dated than your retro elements. If of course what I see on my monitor is what the flooring is irl. Make it softer, with more beige to it....See MoreI need some input on remodelling SIX bathrooms!
Comments (29)I put in a curbless wheel chair accessible shower in my only fill bathroom. I had my builder add a floor drain to the room to act as backup in case the shower ever floods. THAT is what you should do if you want a curbless shower in a rental. BTW, I recently did overflow my shower for the first time. My brand new thick cotton mat was between the shower and the floor drain. It was so heavy with water that I could just barely lift it onto the grab bar in the shower to let it drip dry. Two days later, I had to hang it outside in the sun to get it dry. What did I do to flood outside of the shower? I am not sure! I suppose I could have let the hand sprayer turn toward the curtain. Or maybe the big wad of hair that I had peeled off my fingers that had crossed between the shower floor and the room floor had made a bridge for the water to follow. I have been shedding a lot of hair lately and it has gotten quite long during the stay-at-home time. Whichever it was, I have not had so much water leave the shower before. My trench drain is in the front of the shower, between the shower floor and the room floor. But it would not take long for a clogged wall-side trench drain to let water leave the shower, either. A trench drain is no different than a single middle drain, it just has a long, skinny collection trench on top of the drain hole. I would not put one in a rental unit. Another way to have an even more foolproof shower is to get a solid surface (like Corian) shower pan. Since they can be installed in a day, the money you spend on a higher price material can be offset by lower installation cost. Corian walls are also foolproof. The cleaning people can’t hurt it. Any scratches that happen (though it is not easy to scratch) can be buffed out in place. No grout lines. No mold or mildew. Waterproof and it does not fail. See if you can see a Corian or Swanstone shower in a local showroom. Swanstone has some nice patterns now, too. You can get a white-on-white granite look, white with colored specks, or a white and gray swirl. Here is a link https://swanstone.com/en/collections-and-finishes/collections/swanstone to their site. People with Swanstone and Corian showers say that they look the same as the day they were installed twenty years later. Be aware that Swanstone Veritek is not the same as their solid surface Swanstone product. It is fiberglass, I think. At least consider a true solid surface shower....See MoreRelated Professionals
