Officially started my master bath remodel - some pics
Comments (4)lucycakes - here's the link to the Costco product. I read everything they had - the installation instructions, specs, etc, and it sounds like an excellent product. Costcos heat mat weedy - Thanks for the post. I read your posts and looked at your pictures and I was very impressed. I'm not sure if I ever posted comments or not; I think (hope) so, because you bath turned out beautifully. If mine turns out to be almost as good I'll be very happy....See Moresecond guessing my bath paint choice
Comments (14)Thanks to all for your reassurances (though I'd be happy if you told me the truth about not liking it). annz: Here's another shot I've got showing it's more green than the first photo makes it look. (I'm adding a row of bullnose at the end of the tile, btw.) chibimimi: we're under contract on Weedy Acres with a L-O-N-G closing (in 3 months). We bought this one in our new location back in March as a short-term crash pad. No way we'll fit into 940 sf once we have to put all our stuff in it. But we picked it up for $14K, and it gives us something to do on weekends/evenings, so we couldn't resist....See MoreI need some reassurance about my floor choice.
Comments (18)UPDATE Well, after much consternation, I finally decided to go ahead with this choice of flooring. I wavered, I tossed and turned, I annoyed everyone I know with my whining. Then it got down to the wire. The tile I had ordered had come in and I had to decide whether to go get it or pay a restocking fee to return it. However, so much else would be delayed if I decided to wait that it became a much bigger issue than just the tile. Then, I talked to my friend who just had to have all the tile in her house ripped up and replaced because of problems caused by poor installation. As horrible as this sounded, she said it was really no big deal. Soooo, I decided that if it turned out that I really did hate it, I would make myself live with it for a year or two and then tear it up and replace it. That would give me plenty of time to pick out something I really loved. I would chalk it up to an expensive lesson. Well, yesterday, they laid the tile (grout comes tomorrow), and . . . I LOVE IT! It's even prettier than what I remembered from the store. It's much warmer and I think it will look great with my cabs and counters. It blends in beautifully with the wood floors and paneling everywhere else. I had it done in a running bond pattern, which looks perfect. I'm still a little concerned that this stone wasn't the best choice for a kitchen (honed and unfilled), but at least I love the way it looks. And, I still have the option of tearing it out down the road if upkeep becomes too much of a hassle. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Thank you all for your reassurance during my little crisis!

Comments (111)One more question for you. The window in the former kitchen is already framed in and I am getting ready to place the order for the windows. It was framed at 72" wide by 54" high to make room for the counter. Now that we are moving the kitchen, do you think I should make that window 72" wide by 72" high instead. It is an easy fix. Windows are set at 8'2" with 10 foot ceilings. Just curious of your thoughts. If we put a counter and cabinets on that dining wall, it would make sense to have a window that height. But if we don't, I am worried that it will look weird. What do you guys think?...See MorePaul F.
