Lovely, I love ming green and you have done an excellent job of using it in the bathroom.
Very , very nice...

What a great job! I love that floor - can you give details about it? Enjoy all your hard work.

Thank you!

The floor is a marble basketweave in white, ming green, and darker green. The border is plain ming green marble, which we had cut into 4-inch tiles.

A note about the marble chair rail and pencil trim: All "ming green" isn't the same -- the pieces delivered to us varied quite a bit in color and veining and we had to lay them out by hand to make sure it didn't look too patchwork-y. If you are doing a marble border and want it all to match perfectly, you should plan on ordering at least 25% extra. I'm a little peeved that our tile seller didn't give us a heads-up on this.

Very nice!

Your whole bathroom remodel is amazing; I especially loved your basketweave tile. I am new to this forum and have never heard of the term (color?) ming before.

So pretty! The tile design is simple but beautiful, and the glossy white tiles really make the mosaics stand out.

What's your counter top made of?

Very nice! Even love the scale :)

So a question: the wall border tile: is it true mosaic, of I guess marble? If so, I'd love a closeup to see it. The floor is so great, just wonderful. I love all the mixes you made of various shapes and sizes all over the room.

Very pretty! Im thinking of using a ming green subway tile for our shower.

Love this!

Your vanity is perfect! I've drawn a copy of it, and now on to try and find something similar (been looking for over a year). I'm guessing yours is about 60" wide?

I too am a green lover- and may have to try another copycat! :>)

Yes, the border is a marble mosaic. It comes on a mesh backing in about one-foot lengths. Amazingly, every single piece was almost identical in terms of the colors and shapes of the pieces. Here's a close-up:

And yes, the vanity is 60 inches wide. It comes in several finishes, with and without legs, double and single sinks. If you google "Strasser vanity" you will find several sources online.

So very pretty, mlk58. I just picked up the latest BHG Baths issue and none of the baths in there are as nice as the ones I'm seeing here at THS.

Anna! I'm so glad you're still around to see our variation on your beautiful bathroom! Yes, we think the pencil trim is just the icing on the cake -- it's one of my favorite parts of the whole thing! And I keep telling my husband that the wall color is so yummy it's all I can do to keep from licking the walls!

Don't you love that feeling? I used Benjamin Moore Winter Gray in mine, but the Lavender Ice is also perfect with the ming green.

As I mentioned to hoffman, I sold that house and hated leaving that bathroom behind. I am planning to recreate it in my new house though...I miss it so much. It made me feel good every time I walked into it.

That floor tile is the prettiest I have ever seen, in color and pattern, I love it as well as the border. Beautiful bathroom, enjoy!

Oh, wow! That's really beautiful!

I love everything about it . . . and that's saying a lot, because I'm not ordinarily drawn to anything green! But you put all the elements together beautifully. I especially love the vanity and med chest . . . and floor . . . and mosaic . . .

Great job!

mlk58,

I was the original ming green copycat (thanks again, Anna!) I've broken my gardenweb habit now that my renovations are done, but a friend sent me this link. I love how you combined elements from my powder room & Anna's original.

Enjoy!

Hoffman! I'm so glad you got to check in, too! We looked all over town for your mosaic border, which has apparently been discontinued, but we were very happy with the one we ended up with.

I'm really tickled to think of all these "sister" bathrooms scattered around the country. :D

This is absolutely beautiful, and I remember the original. We are starting to plan our second bathroom, and I am probably going to copy some elements, too. I am looking tonight for vanities, and I love yours. I looked on the Straser website and found one just like yours in a 48" width, which is just what we need, as our space is 50' wide. I did want some narrow upper cabinets, though, on either side of the mirror, and coming out only about 12" - they didn't seem to carry them, but maybe I will find another solution.

I'm late to this thread, but can you tell me what kind of tub you have?

Also, did you buy your basketweave tile from the same place as the original ming green bathroom?

It's a Kohler Lakewood tub. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued. We have the very. last. one. I know this because our tub was delivered with a hole in the top, and Kohler actually had to rev up its assembly line one last time, and squeeze out one last tub, to make us a replacement. It slowed down our project by about six weeks, but it was worth it because that was the only tub we found that was big enough for the two of us, but fit in our small space.

We got our basketweave tile at a local place (link below). I saw it at a couple of stores here in town, so I think it's fairly widely available.
