Novice taking on a bathroom remodel... need guidance.
Comments (3)JB-Walla, thanks for the link... that looks very nice and I would love to do that. I ran to my Lowes ad to my surprise they didn't have anything that would buff down the tile to give the corners a more rounded edge, which I still don't believe. I think they just didn't know what they were talking about. I'm going to goto a "tile shop" tomorrow to see if they can offer any help. Apparently because I'm using travertine it lessens my options. Gina_w, I hear your concern but I've used tar paper all around the shower right on the studs for water proofing and then used hardie backer all around the shower area on top of that just to be on the safe side and to hide the seems I'm tiling a few inches outside of the shower area and onto the drywall. Thats why the transition is needed directly from the tiles to the sheetrock....See MoreCountertop edge help
Comments (6)I've always thought I had an eased edge, but now I think it might be a pencil edge. It has a slightly curved feel, but for all intents and purposes appears similar to eased. In the kitchen I have 4-year-old Caesarstone without a single chip or ding. In my bathroom I definitely have eased carrara, a much sharper edge. It's two years old without any dings or chips, but I'm not moving pots and pans around in there. I don't see where it would matter if your edges differ slightly between rooms....See MoreFloating a live edge mantel into a brick fireplace... I hope...

Comments (1)I was thinking of a walk-in shower like this one, without the jacuzzi and slider to outdoor patio! Clearly a high end home, but inspiring....See MoreBeverlyFLADeziner
