That turned out very nice. I love the way the marble looks with your paint color. We have both the Memoirs toilet & pedestal sink and have been very happy with them. Good job!

It's lovely! The curved vanity is beautiful.

Bravo! Three weeks is a speedy amount of time for such a gorgeous transformation.

I love that Kohler faucet!

Enjoy.

I love the carrera marble floor. I plan on re-doing my hallway bathroom, which is a standard 5 x 9 space. I haven't quite decided on the floor pattern yet.

How did you decide on the floor pattern? Did you use honed tile? How do you find it to clean? I suppose with all of the grout lines it isn't slippery, am I correct? What is the name of the tile that you used.

Thanks for sharing!

That turned out lovely and I agree, the marble looks marvelous with the wall and trim colors. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Beautiful job! Love the marble and paint color. What brand/color of paint did you use?

Thanks everyone for all of the kind words.

The paint is Sherwin Williams Krypton.

karena 2009: I chosed the floor pattern because I had seen something similar and fell in love with it. I've heard that putting the border around the tile is called a rug pattern. I also read somewhere that the rug pattern makes a small bathroom look larger, but I don't know if that's true. Also I wanted something that you couldn't find at HD or places like that. The mosaic is honed but the border is polished. It is not slippery at all. If it was only the larger border tiles than I think it would be very slippery. I mop it with water and a mild soap and that works fine. All the tile is white carrara marble. The border is polished 6X12's, and the inside is the honed herringbone mosaic.

Hi mg70,

Thank you for filling in the details. Congratulations on a successful remodel. It's a very classical, beautiful bath!

Hi mg70,

I am considering putting in the Kohler Mendota cast iron tub. I was wondering how you like it. Do you find it to be a good soaking tub? Is it easy to clean? Is it easy to step over?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I love the look! It is classic and pretty.
FWIW, I think your previous bathroom was not too bad (but not as wonderful as now!) The paper would have worked with your new bathroom, but the paint does make it more contemporary than the paper would have.

Karena, I have been pleased with the Mendota tub. it's easy to clean, easy to step over. I'm not a big bath person but i have soaked in it once and it was fine. My kids soak in it and think its great.

Dianalo-thanks for your comments. The old bathroom had pink tile which had been reglazed about 8 years ago and was starting to chip. The floor was vinyl (pink tiles underneath) and was scratched and discolored in places. So, it was time to rip it all out and start over.

Hi mg70!

Thanks so much for letting me know :-). As it turns out, I ordered the Mendota tub from faucetdirect.com and it arrived perfectly yesterday. I'm glad to hear that it's easy to clean and to step over.

I think I'm about two to three weeks away from the start of construction. I will keep you posted.

Cheers!

Very nice! Love the marble and your paint color choice!

Did you agonize over getting carrara in the first place? Will it need to be sealed?

no. I didn't agonize over the carrara, but i'm very careful with it. It was sealed after installation and i will have to seal it once a year (i think).
