Pictures of our new black and white bathroom
Comments (14)Thanks for the kind words, everyone. We went pretty basic on the faucet. It's the chrome Delta Leland Centerset Faucet. We paid extra for the porcelain knobs. http://www.deltafaucet.com/bath/details/2578lf-278.html All told, I think the faucet and the tub fixtures were either around or under $100 each. The tile actually delayed our addition project by over two months, since you can't do trim or lay the hardwood until the tile is done (tilers are MESSY), so I was pretty upset with the company. This made it extra gratifying when they actually pulled through and did a GREAT job on the wall installation. I also think the corners on the window were perfect. Once thing that bugs the heck out of me are how some of the black hex tiles are a little off kilter, since they had to hand set them. It's just one of those things I have to let go of and chalk it up to bungalow charm. If any tile setters our there read this, is it unusual to have those mistakes? There are also some parts where there is a very slight difference between the height of the hex between sheets. It's so slight you have to get down on your hands and knees to see it, but it's there. Wait, don't tell me if that is poor workmanship. I don't want to know. :) Originally when they wrongly delivered the black and white octagon, they offered to give it to us for free. I'm glad we insisted on getting what we originally envisioned for the bathroom. I think the octagon with lots more black would have looked too busy in a small bathroom.

Comments (7)I love gallery walls altho the only one I have at present has only land and seascape oils, most are framed with gold tone frames altho some are unframed - a pic won't help you and it's difficult to get a good pic as it's on my stairway wall. I think what you want to do *can* be done successfully and the key is balance. This gallery wall at Pottery Barn has several types of frames and content but it's well balanced. You have to click thru a few pics in the slideshow at the link posted below to get to the gallery wall pic. Have you laid all your art on the floor and played around with it to see how it might work? That's what I've always done. If you are the type of person who requires complete symmetry this might not work for you but well balanced asymmetrical galleries can be wonderful.

Comments (4)I do like the countertop choice. But I am also a fan of a less busy quartz countertop like this one. Still has the subtle veins in it, but it's not too busy for a bathroom. Plus I love the idea of a white vanity popping against the navy color the room. The sample in your photo could take away from the "pop" factor in my opinion. But I do think your sample is a beautiful piece of stone for sure. Good luck with your renovation!...See Morewhat kitchen wall color for white and navy cabinets?
