I am having trouble breathing here. I think I held my breath too long scrolling through your bathroom. HOLY WOW! It is Perfecto! Thank you so much for sharing. I just showed DH & you just upped the ante for our new build. Your taste is impeccable!

thanks for the nice words.

Island, the tub surround is also Caesarstone. For the mirrors, we just had our carpenter build trim around the existing cabinets and had custom-sized mirrors put in when he was finished. It was easier than finding mirrors that matched the space. The sinks (17x17) were found at a bath specialty store in N. Hollywood called MTD.

Here's a couple pics of the kitchen - and link to the thread with the details.

pip you have the most elegant taste. Your kitchen is one of my very favorites and now your bathroom too! I love your dog too : ) He would also match your bathroom just as much as your kitchen! Beautiful!

Thanks Pip. Oh my I do remember seeing your beautiful kitchen but I don't think it was finished yet. I recall the banquette and you were in search of a table?? Where did you find it? Love it all. I too want a banquette in mine. Hopefully when I get that far you'll have some tips on how to make sure it's comfy. Are the cushions fabric?

I know I'm off topic here, but just had to gush and pick your brain. I see a glimpse of your living space and fireplace treatment. Looks like you carried the same style throughout?? I want to move in!
Beautiful. Thanks for the additional info.

stunning!!! I love how light and bright and airy it is.

Pipdog, did you use Dennis Adams as the designer for your kitchen and bath? Asking because they're both in his portfolio on houzz, and I know other people here have had problems with their own work getting used by others there, like beekeeper's wife and her kitchen.

omg. I just sent pipdog an email. Those photos and her kitchen photos are all over his houzz site too.

He does list LA as a location, so maybe it's legit, but your experience and that of others here has made me wary when nobody mentions a designer in their threads. Thanks, beekeeperswife.

writersblock and bee, thanks for the heads up. I uploaded the photos to Houzz. He's my family member and soon-to-be partner in design :)

Great, that's wonderful news, pipdog. You should be doing this!

Pipdog, I love this bathroom. Would you mind telling me the height of the bathroom backsplash? It looks like it might be 12". It doesn't look choppy like some do. Thank you!

thanks, morethanamom. The backsplash is 9 inches high, including the pencil tile.

Absolutely gorgeous pipdog. Haven't seen your pix on houzz yet, but great going. Kitchen too.

I'm stuck in decision land on the finishing touches of my kitchen (backsplash) and master bath.

enjoy!

Hi pipdog!
Your bathroom and kitchen are beautiful! Now that you have had bathroom finished for a couple of months, how had the marble tile held up? Is it a lot of maintenance? I would love marble tile for my bathroom update!

Hi pipdog!

thanks cscow and phylhl. cscow, so far I'm okay with how the marble is holding up. I'm really glad we chose not to put marble on the counter. The floor has scratched a bit from sand, but we have a large bath mat to prevent slipping and it covers the imperfections. My biggest gripe is that the marble subway tile and hex tiles in the shower are hard to clean. We squeegee after every shower, but I've yet to find a really good marble cleaner that works on soap scum!

Thanks for the marble update pipdog! I am looking for your bathroom on Houzz to add to my idea book !

Just wandered over from kitchens and wanted to add in how beautiful I think your bathroom is! Love the different sizes/shapes of marble all put together. Everything is lovely!

This is absolutely gorgeous. How has the glass been to clean? I was planning a shower with glass walls like this, but my sister says cleaning the glass is a nightmare. What are your thoughts? I could still go with a lighted walk-in with a tiled wall instead.

erikarochelle, we squeegee the shower/glass after every use and that makes cleaning it a lot easier. We use a glass cleaner on the glass every few weeks and it looks good as new.

Ethereal! The all-white is beautiful.

I love your bathroom! How big are the hex tiles on the floor? I couldn't find them on AKDO's website. Did you have them cut down from 12x12's? Thanks a bunch!

I never tire of looking at your bathroom!

Does anyone know about this floor? I would love to do this for my upcoming master bath renovation. Thanks.

pip;

gorgeous! Next summer we're planning on redoing our 3 BR's and I have considered going all white with all 3 of them--your BR is pushing me that way!

Love the sinks -- I've looked thru the posts and I can't find what they are? Can you share?

Thanks, Rita

thanks Rita. The sinks are 17x17 and were found at a bath specialty store in N. Hollywood called MTD Bath Supply. I had a hard time finding sinks that size.

thanks epressler, the hex marble is 8x9 (at the largest point). We went to the tile warehouse to pick out the exact tiles and I recall the tile distributor saying something about these being discontinued. It wasn't on the AKDO sample board we took home or in the showroom. We had originally planned to do the smaller hex tiles on the floor and we only discovered the larger hex tiles in the warehouse after we decided the smaller hex tiles were too busy for the space.

thanks sofla!

It's beautiful . . . And this is from someone who hates granite!

Pipdog, your bathroom is so beautiful! I'm green with envy (in a good way)! I hope you are enjoying it!

How is the Raindance system working out?

So bizarre - checked out c-cure white frost - Finally found color - beautiful! Put in next to my Lowe's white subway tile. Brought out PINK hue in tile, not seen before or since. Ah well,,,,,bright white it is. :/

It's gorgeous! We're in the final stages of a whole home reno and this is so inspiring.

I just found this. Such a beautiful transformation!! I just finished my own bath remodel and love how you framed around your mirror(s). It such a simple, yet elegant, solution. Did you glue the mirrors to the wall and place the frame around them, or is the frame routed to accommodate the mirror on the backside? The mirror was one of the toughest things for me. I ended up going with a framed mirror, but I prefer large expanses of mirror as you have.

I always love it when someone replies to this bathroom and I get to see it all over again. It never gets old :)

I love that bathroom. I wish pipdog would post on how the marble is holding up. I would love to know. It was what I first wanted when I thought of redoing my bathroom but became worried listening to the horror stories. I would not be the most diligent person when it comes to squeegeeing.

linelle, we built the frames and then I had my glass person come and measure the space and he had mirrors cut for that space -- we used two separate mirrors.

thanks, monicakm!

jerzeegirl, we sold the house about 6 months ago, so we only had that bathroom a little over a year. I have to say while I liked the marble when it went in, I had no idea what I was getting myself in to in terms of maintenance. The worst offender was SAND -- my kids would come traipsing in from the park and unload their pants full of sand on the floor, scratching the hex tiles up. We had to be meticulous about vacuuming before mopping the floors to make sure there was no sand or other particles on the floor that would scratch the floor. The last few months we lived there while our house was on the market, we stopped using the bath so that we wouldn't have to clean the tile. We tried everything from vodka to expensive marble cleaner and nothing seemed to get the grime off of it. We squeegeed the entire shower after we used it, but the marble tiles still looked dull after use.

So would I do marble again? I'd consider using it as a back splash or as an accent, but never on the floor of a main bathroom or as shower tile, or on a counter top. We are going with more durable materials (porcelain and penny tile) in our baths for our next remodel.

I've often wondered how all this marble is holding up in kitchens and bathrooms. It's a popular stone these days but I know I wouldn't be a candidate for it. Well at least you get to start over and know what not to get. Sure was pretty tho!

Hi pip!

I realize you are onto a new project, but I only just came across this bathroom now (slowly going through 67 pages of the forum:0)

What was the size of the bathroom space? Apologies if I missed the info.

Thanks !

Wow! The kitchen and bathroom are both stunning! They look like something out of a magazine! Enjoy :)

I just came across this older thread, and the bathroom is lovely. It was also interesting to read Pipdog's later follow-up about the high-maintenance floors.

Pipdog - if you are still checking in, can you please comment about the Caesarstone counters - like how they stood up to spills of toothpaste or soap residue, and general wear and tear? What color Caesarstone did you use for your counters? You mentioned your next remodel in your new home - what type of counters are you using there? TIA.

Hi ak0402, sorry for the delay in responding. We sold the house over a year ago, but I believe the counters were Pure White Caesarstone. They held up well. We are using Caesarstone again in our current remodel - we found it to be very durable. Sorry, enzaenza, we've left the house so I don't have the dimensions of the bath anymore. It was on the smaller side for a master bath though -- it was a 1950s house. Thanks, MrsShayne :)

Oooooh, waaaaay too much white for me.

Pipdig, did you ever start the next remodel using penny tile? I'd love to see it. Your former bathroom was so beautiful, my heart skipped a beat. Really glad you posted the follow up, though, as I was wondering about the use of marble.

thanks beaniebakes! The remodel is still in the design/concepting phase. Probably not starting construction until this summer.

This looks Devine!!! Inspiring me to ignore the maintenance concerns and do it. It's just beautiful! Well done!

Love this! We are in process of renovating a bath and using Carrara marble in shower like yours. Quick question: What did you do where the marble meets the walls? My contractor is pushing a Schluter line or pencil edge, but I like simplicity of your edging.

thanks LC! I'm pretty sure we used a pencil tile (if you look at the photo of the bathtub you will see it running along the top edge) but I don't think we could use it around the edges of the shower as we were constrained by the window. So we just had our tile installer finish the edges nicely and caulk around them.

beaniebakes, the penny tile bathroom is in progress (finally!) I should have a finished thread soon for that bath.

I know the original post is pretty old but for some reason the photos don't come through... Instead of the photos, it says to to update my account on PhotoBucket to enable 3rd party hosting... I saw one photo that was shared on Pinterest and would LOVE to see the rest! Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks! :)

I think the issue is with pipdog's hosting. She probably moved her photos. You might message her? Haven't seen her around in a while.

Yeah it is photobucket. Houzz should disallow third party hosting of pics since it creates a ton of issues.

I know I'm a few years late to the party, but Wow is this one beautiful bathroom makeover! It is timeless and will never look outdated, ever. Good Job!
