Dumb glass tile question, but bear with me
Comments (6)Your tile entry way looks stunning!! The pretty glass tiles pick up your wood tones & your gray/white porcelain tile goes well with your wall paint. What's the name of the paint color? Have I asked you already about your flooring? We're looking at wood flooring and yours is pretty. I'm going to save this picture you posted. I hope my staircase turns out looking like yours : )...See Moreflooring in desert Southwest
Comments (19)Cheryl, what's going on with your floors? What did you decide? We are in Tucson for the winter and spring. This week we put in laminate floors in 3 bedrooms. Looks and feels great. I did something brave. I ordered relatively expensive white laminate floor for the master bedroom. Looks like narrowish very whitewashed wood. Pergo brand, I think. We installed Costco Harmonics brand laminate in bedrooms and it looks great. I was talking to a Lowes installer who loves harmonics brand and has done many of them. He is also some kind of troubleshooter. Fancy credentialed guy. My ankles hurt last night so I am thinking of laminate for the kitchen. Ceramic hurts. Do polished concrete? As mentioned, my realtor (an experienced, smart and wise lady) looooves polished concrete. I think that hw in the southwest has an unwarranted bad rap and peeps just repeat the same unfounded stories. Just an inkle in my inkled mind. Take good care, Cheryl....See MoreWood floor, Step Down to LR- Avoiding falls?
Comments (24)les917 - thank you so much! I appreciate any and all suggestions. I am always unsure about where to place furniture, etc. After the flooring is installed, I will post a pic with some various arrangements and hope you and others will give me some more advice on how I can move things around. I've always wanted a small desk in that area where you mentioned. I'll post a pic below of the part of the LR you were curious about- the wall area behind the couch towards the window area. After seeing this pic, you may have some more good ideas to inspire me. My concern is, if I move the couch, etc. as you suggested, that opens up a huge blank wall that goes all the way to the ceiling.. Good, bad? natesgramma - yes, I think area rugs will be helpful as well as always mentioning the step to new visitors. groomingal - that's a very creative solution. Other people have mentioned lighting. I should look into this "built in" lighting idea. bodica mentioned rope lighting, too. cliff_and_joann - sorry to hear your father broke his arm. This is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I can picture wrought iron that tied in with the same wrought iron on the fireplace as being a good solution. lukkiirish - your holiday is next..St. Patrick's Day! Maybe, you're a Notre Dame fan? We're on concrete. I do agree for asthetic reasons it's better to keep the wood all in the same direction. Why did the designer or builder of these homes in our area (So. Calif-1980's) ever think these one step sunken rooms were the way to go? Your idea is another creative one that is going on my list of options to consider. Dh does all the work and I get the hammer,saw horse, hold the tape measure,get the level, plug in the extension cord...etc. When you installed your flooring, did you glue down, float, nail or staple? Dh is still not fully decided between glue down or float. marybeth1 - Thank you for the link. I read through it and it confirms ideas about lighting, furniture & rug placement, possibly a railing or bookshelf install, and visual cues to warn people of the change in levels.

Comments (6)I have - that looks way above my ability. painting the tile 1 color alone makes me nervous. I am wondering if I can take a lazy way out and put a wood looking vinyl/rubber tile right over this. I have enough clearance at my entry door..I just wonder if the grout lines would show thru....See Moresistertamala
