Bathroom remodel design dilemma - PLEASE HELP!
Comments (5)We plan to keep the same layout and the bathroom is not adjoining to a bedroom. I refer to it as our ‘guest bathroom’ but it’s technically used for the 2 bedrooms we have upstairs that we use for guests. :)...See MoreBathroom Design Dilemma
Comments (9)Ellen, I really appreciate the input! Good point about bumping into open shelves! Beth, thanks so much for these great pictures! I love the first nice pic you posted but imagine it might be hard to find a way to inset part of the vanity if it is only a 66-68 inch double vanity. I am trying to figure out what makes the photos without the shelves still look good in spite of the vanities obstructing the tubs. Any sense of the magic formula? :) I like your idea of flipping the shower and tub, but we can't do that due to plumbing issues on the exterior wall; we would lose 4 inches in the shower by padding for shower heads. It's too bad as that would be a much nicer-looking set-up. Thanks again for the great ideas!...See MoreBathroom vanity and shower/tub design dilemma
Comments (9)I think a much smaller vanity would be really terrific! I have strange bathroom dimensions too, and there was this odd custom vanity that was meant to maximize storage. After much, much deliberation and agonizing about losing storage space, I finally decided to get rid of the old vanity and just get a smaller one -- and now I'm really glad I did. Mine is only 24" x 18" deep, and it's got three drawers so I can still fit major necessities in there. And we found a little floor-standing metal shelving unit at our local Homesense (like a Marshalls) which is absolutely perfect -- it provides extra storage space right next to the new vanity; it can be easily pulled away for quick cleaning and it helps lend an openness/airiness to the otherwise-cramped space. I think a 36" (or wider if it fits easily) x 18" vanity can look great in your space! Here's an example from Home Depot, although if you're getting yours custom made you could add drawers etc: If you go with a smaller vanity, then you could also put a "rolling storage bath shelf" like this one beside it, which would solve some of the problems you identified including being able to access for cleaning: :)...See Morebathroom tile design dilemma
Comments (9)is this for a tub? That large tile, it's going under the tub on this cement board? or is this a shower floor? I hope its not a shower floor! That wood curb also needs to be completely covered. Can we see how the shower is being formatted for the waterproofing? what if you stacked the large tile on the floor? basically like this. (I think it's too large for that small space. there's going to be a lot of cuts, which is a waste for this large format tile) any chance of doing something diff on the floor? diff tile altogether? you're doing the plain white tile on the wall, the hex on the shower floor, and then you have the small space for the other tile? is the shower tile going in like this? (you'll notice the square tiles on either side in the white) you could do a larger hex tile (this is a 2") and use it for all of the floors. you doing a niche? w/the hex tile? I did this layout for my neighbor. used a recycled white glass tile for the niche. (it's not green) or, do a larger, darker hex or something like this gray I'd rather use a longer tile for the shower, like this. can you get that tile in a larger size? you could use this tile on the outside floor in a herringbone or some other layout even this size is better. looks like a 3x12. you could do this on the floor in a diff type of layout I like this basketweave layout or, try a terrazzo look 24x24 size tile for the floors...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
