Since none of the pros have piped up with their precise secret formulas, here's how I'd swag it: -Bathroom is about 16' x 10', so order 160 square feet of the floor tile. Yeah, the tile goes a little further than 16' in the toilet room, but I didn't subtract the shower or tub footprint, so those offset it, plus eat up the off cuts. -Shower walls: looks like you've got 2 that are about 5x8 and 2 that are ~2x8 (assume 8 foot ceilings), so that's 112 square feet for them. Not subtracting the area for the accent strip will cover off-cuts. -Shower floor and ceiling: Two ~5x5 spaces, so you need 50 square feet. The square is cut off on the door side, reducing the need, but keep it in to cover off-cuts. -Accent strip: 16" wide x 14 feet of wall length = 19 feet. I'd round up on this. -Deco tiles: You've got 1 every 5.5", over 14 feet, which is 30 tiles. Get a couple extra in case you break one. And on everything, round up the nearest box size.

I would certainly not describe myself as someone who is sure of herself regarding design (I just got my living and dining rooms painted after about five years of paint samples taped to the walls) but this is what I did (I did not have a KD, for what that's worth): I spent a long time years  tearing pictures out of magazines (now I also save copies of pictures with elements I like from websites I browse). I saved the pictures (along with pictures I tagged in books) and when it came time to do the kitchen I went through them all and narrowed the stack down to ones I really liked. In some cases, it was a whole look or feeling and in other cases it was some specific thing, tile or a wood color or some other design feature. My husband and I also went on our local American Institute of Architects home tour every year (it also helped that for 10 years I was the editor of an architecture magazine but I'm a writer not, as I said, a designer. But that job did teach me to read plans and gave me an ability to visualize those two-dimensional drawings as three-dimensional spaces. So that was definitely a plus). In my case, I ended up with image after image of stained wood, Shaker-style doors, green tile (and more and more and more green tile), and dark counters. We knew we wanted matte black counters (although we were thinking honed black granite until I found GW; we ended up with soapstone). Oh and we love metal: galvanized, stainless, natural steel. So we wanted some of that. So those were our starting points. And that's pretty much what we ended up with: natural white oak Shaker cabinets, brushed nickel hardware, soapstone, butcher block, a black steel counter, and some other steel accents, stainless appliances. Oh and a green tile backsplash. I have a cart that slides into a spot under the counter, an idea I'd torn out of a magazine, and a bookcase built of steel uprights and butcher block, from another picture I'd saved and gave to our carpenter. I can't say I never lay awake worrying about how it was going to look. I did. Many nights. And every time a new element went into place I thought maybe I'd messed the whole thing up. But lots of time thinking about what we wanted before we started, lots of poring over magazines and books and websites, made me pretty sure of what I liked and of what elements it would take to create the kitchen I wanted. Sorry for going on so long. I have no idea if any of it's helpful. I came to GW after many of our decisions were made but I think there's much to be said for the Sweeby test: how do you want your kitchen to feel, how are the various elements contributing to that feel. The idea of writing a mission statement for your kitchen seems like a good one and I guess that's basically what I did with all my pictures. There must be many ways that people end up with the beautiful kitchens I see here on GW (certainly much more refined kitchens than mine) but our process worked for us and we ended up with a kitchen that, two years later, I still marvel over and love.

If you took the picture with the camera on the phone the picture is stored on your phone. You can Log into your eBay account and using the browser on your phone or the app if you have one. Go to the picture on your phone and there should be a share icon, it looks like a sideways V with dots on the ends on Android, on iPhone it looks like a box with an arrow pointing upward out of the box. . Click on the icon and it will show a list of ways to share the pictures. Email, messenger, etc. I have always preferred to simply remove the memory card from the camera, when using an actual camera, and inserting it into the card reader on the computer. Then accessing directly from the SD card the pictures to download to the computer. It's a simple process.

Ok, that worked... Some more, Nearly completed installation. The shelf above the drying rod may or may not stay, it is loose fitted up there now. The cart is a 3 tiered wire cart from HD and I bought wheels off eBay. the counter is a approx 24x14" slate from The Tile Shop and adhered to a 3/4 ply that was painted at the edges to match. It just rests on top of the cart. I like it, not too heavy: Hansgrohe faucet from Costco I picked up several years ago, don't know if they still sell this one or not. this is the stream flow: This is the spray flow that reverts back to stream when you shut the water off. The sink had 2 holes on the deck but was for a bridge type faucet. So the plumber punched a center hole for the faucet, and we braced the deck with 2" treated lumber for stability. the hole to the left of the faucet is a soap dispenser. The bottle to the right is covering the other hole, that I plan to use as another dispenser. Or I could just cap it. We'll see. I could put liquid laundry soap in that one: My wall of washer/dryers: the sink is perpendicular to this wall at the other side of the shower that is at the left. Now I need to get that door painted, poor thing:
