tikva02 I had chosen full bullnose for our last home, but would not choose it again. I hadn't realized that full bullnose makes the granite look thinner than the same thickness of granite with other edge types.

mmk63 I have been considering this tile for a bathroom remodel as well. You mentioned above you did another room with the Soleil Linen. Did you ever post photos? Would love to see. What did you use on the floor here?

BY DESIGN Builders Aloha and thank you for your question about the tile.
The darker floor tile is Nori porcelain 6x24.
The lighter floor tile is tumbled coral by ModWalls Pebble Collection but they no longer have it on their website.
We do not have professional photos of installed Soleil Linen but here are a couple from the Dal-Tile website and an installed photo from South Cypress.com (http://www.southcypress.com/Theme/Fabric-Look-Tile#.UbzQf_nCaSo).
Thanks again.

annette_1113 I am just starting to renovate my master bathroom with a whirlpool tub and small shower into a double shower with built in seat. I am so glad I read all the comments here. I feel so much better about taking that whirlpool tub out that I have cleaned every week for years since all it does is collect dust. As I have gotten older my home is 26 years old I am the original owner and if someone doesn't want to buy my home now because I changed my master bathroom taking out a whirlpool tub so be it...I have more than likely put into my home and land more than I ever will get out of it so why not make it into something I can use in my old age by putting in a double shower that we will enjoy with grab bars for our safety. That way I can sit with a hand held shower attachment and also have a stationary shower head as well. A 26 year old shower and tub I have no problem in loosing at this point. I do have 4 bedrooms and 2 baths so the hall bath has a tub, that is all that I need to clean at this point for company or in the event we sell our home in the future. But if they don't want to buy, I feel like the comment above, just walk on by.......

John Whipple - By Any Design ltd. @FP - You nearly made me cry this morning. Tears of happiness of course. I love hearing about all the flood testing going on. I hope I have had a big influence on this - this will help everyone build better showers. It will keep more "Hacks" out of the industry and hopefully reduce landfill build up - all bet it marginally but it's a start!!! Thank you for demanding your builder do it right! Awesome.

janes Thank you Michelle.

hilory Thank you for this article. I have a son who is 16 with Cerebral Palsy. We are in the process of remodeling our small ranch style home to accommodate universal design. We are starting on the kitchen and your article consolidated months of me searching, reading, talking and reflecting on our needs. I feel more confident on our design choices and know my instincts have been right. Keep these articles coming.

janes Aloha John Very nice...I love everything about this shower stall. What is the name and color of the floor and wall tiles. I am just next door to Costa Mesa and will give Barnard a call.

BY DESIGN Builders Aloha from Michelle at BY DESIGN,
Thank you for the compliment. This was a fun shower to design and build. The client absolutely LOVES it!
The floor tile is a porcelain 16x32 called Stongres 2.0, this tile is the same on the bath floor as well as in the downstairs kitchen and bath.
The wall tiles are a porcelain 12x24 called Bambu plus the gorgeous accent 1x4 tiles called Silk Verde.
Thanks again!
