Master Bathroom Updated - X-Post from Decorating
Comments (25)bullielove and motherof3inct - Yes, the Linen Cabinet was also built custom and to match the vanity - drawers same height and same wood/finish. The original Linen Closet had an 18" bi-fold door, which really only opened about 15", with wire shelving inside. The door was standard 80" height. We opened the width to 24" and the height to 96" for this cabinet. It is free-standing, though anchored, and the frame is scribed to fit as if built-in.

Comments (99)Rjinga, I hope you see this, since it's not moving to the top. I was out of town for the holiday, but I found your posts in my email. Thanks so much for your lovely compliments! The painted top held up well. We sold the house a few months ago, and all the potential buyers thought it was granite! Even many Realtors (who have likely seen plenty of the real thing). I never did redo the poly to smooth out the brush strokes, and never even had to touch it up. My husband and I aren't hard on things, but I did have water, perfume, hairspray, curling irons, etc. on and around the counter with no problems. It wiped clean with a spritz of 409 and a soft cloth. If I ever do it again, I will try the oil poly with a pantyhose applicator, but I definitely recommend this easy technique if you want a faux granite top....See MoreChanging faucets on this 1930's - 1960's bathroom sink possible?
Comments (4)I had similar handles on my old bathtub valves, and IIRC it was hard to find modern replacement cross-handles. There were new ones that appeared similar (retro look), but the splines on the shaft were different and they did not fit correctly. I finally ended up replacing the entire assembly because the valve body developed a leak, so I never did get new handles. Bruce...See More3 bathrooms upstairs, use subways on all or change it up?
Comments (0)I kinda posted this question last week, but I realize my question was too convoluted and mixing too many questions into one. Trying again. Question: What shower wall tile should I used in the 2 kids' bathrooms upstairs? Just about finished with office bath (no tub). Used 3 x 12 subway tiles for shower walls set in a 1/3 offset pattern. Floor tile is a medium brown/nuetral, not fancy. For the other 2 bathrooms (demoing right now), they are 5 x 8s with tub/shower combo with shower curtains. I know what the floor tile is going to be in each, but I'm having trouble deciding about the shower walls for each. I keep coming back to the same plain white subway tile, but I'm wondering if I should choose something else so that all 3 bathrooms upstairs don't have the same walls? Or maybe that's okay, and I just need to vary the size or the layout from one bathroom to the next? Girls' bathroom: Floor will be a marble-look porcelain tile in a 2 x 2 hexagon. Shower walls could be 3 x 6 subways, or should I consider something else? The vanity is SW tidewater and the countertop is Ceasarstone Frosty Carrina. There will be brushed nickle shower fixture/tub filler. Only the floor tile and shower walls are changing; everything else remains. Goal: Keep it a bit delicate, feminine, soft. It has a bit of a beachy theme going on. Boy's bathroom: Floor will be a medium gray porcelain hexagon (about 8" I think). Shower walls could be 3 x 12 subways set in a 1/3 offset, or maybe a stacked pattern to be a bit more modern, or should I consider something else? Since the floors are gray I could consider a marble-look porcelain for the shower walls bc that would coordinate with the floor, but I'm not sure if I should just stick with the subways. The vanity is SW Naval and the countertop is Ceasarstone Frosty Carrina. There will be shiny chrome shower fixture/tub filler, and I'm changing the faucet to shiny chrome. Only the floor tile and shower walls are changing; everything else remains. Goal: Make it a bit more dressed-up, refined, a little more modern, but not too much. I need to add some art which will probably be an antique map we are getting framed. (Note: wicker cabinet is already gone; replaced with a nicer one.) Thanks in advance!!! This is the last of the bathroom updating in my whole house. So excited to be almost finished!...See MoreLaney
