90% complete hall bathroom

16 years ago

So the hall bathroom is 90% done... still need the trim for the half wall cap... need to replace the vanity light,still need the mirror over the vanity. and some other odds and ends. But I figured I would post it so far. I am really pleased. As you can see I went with yosemite sand. It does look overwhelmingly beige/tan, but I like it with touches of white, and there will be less overwhelming when the mirror is up . I am very pleased. I dont have before pix, but aside from being mauve tile and mauve formica, it was in very bad shape. Very bad shape. So this is heavenly.

I am "auditioning" the pale green blue little touches on the countertop as I do want some accent colors. I had originally thought of turqoise but it seems a little too strong. (maybe it was that particular shade)

what do you think ?

HEre goes hopefully with the pix.

    Obviously I need photography pointers. I didn't realize how blurry some of the photos were-but I think you can still get a pretty good idea.
    Also I should add that this is the "kids" bathroom. I will post photos shortly of our master bathroom in progress. (way less progress than this one..)

    It looks wonderful. I like that little bit of pale blue, it complements the wall color. I would use some accent towels in that color too. I look forward to your finished photos....NICE JOB!!!

    Those are my colors so of course I like it! I woudln't have thought of blue but it works. Maybe I'd better try some new to me colors next time.

    Very soothing...I like the bathroom. Colors are similar to mine.

    Are your floor tiles porcelain? How big are they?
    Neat job laid on the diagonal like that. You sure gave your kids good space at the vanity. Will you have flat mirrors above each sink and a surface mounted shelving unit in between? The mirrors can be raised as the kids grow up, and the shelves would be more timeless than a medicine cab.

    Very neat execution of a durable basic room. I like your choice of color, and also the undermount sinks. It should be a dream to clean.

    I think it's a lovely basic bathroom for the kids (I'd love it!). you can add color in towels, art work etc. and change it from time to time if you want.

    I love the tile too!

    I really like it! I really like the tile and also how it's on a diagonal.

    Which light did you end up going with?

    I'm really pleased with how it is coming out. We are reusing the big mirror that was there- trimming it somewhat and framing it with molding trim that matches teh vanity.
    The light (funny how I didn't photograph it - subconscious I guess?) that they put up is the kichler telford which is a lovely light, but I don't love it, and decided it really wasnt working. I suspect that with everything (like the mirror) in place, it wouldn't be so glaringly irritating to me. in any case, I ordered this one I am linking-- in chrome which hopefully gets here shortly ... it was the masterbath that I drove you all crazy with lighting.I am still tweaking what I should do with the accent colors. I love the white towels and shower curtain - but will introduce more touches of the aqua/green/blue.Also I know I will try to find something else to put on the walls. ... I am thinking about those train shelves(is that the word?) that are chrome and you can stack towels on... a nice clean way to have color.
    My kids are grown and not really at home though one is now temporarily... I think the appeal of this room is that it is very adaptable age wise and genderwise.
    The tiles are ceramic, they are 12 inches. Dal Brixton in mushroom.Very moderately priced.
    Thanks and if you have any suggestions suggest away.

    Very nice! I think the aqua is pretty, but perhaps not strong enough to balance all the golden warm tones. Any chance you would consider a little stronger blue, like a robinÂs egg?

    I think this fabric might be a perfect choice for making a shower curtain (and being able to get something a bit longer than standard for a drapery look), and then pull what seems to be the robinÂs egg blue out in your towels and accessories:

    paisley

    I could also see navy blue in the bath.

    Les you always have such stellar out of the box ideas!

    I love that fabric-and will definitely look for a stronger blue like you suggested. I think the ones I found at first were just too strong, and then these now aer probably just a little too subdued...
    but I think I am going to keep it on the simple side as we are really looking more for resale(within the next 2 years or so) and I think this bathroom is reallly a kid's bathroom.
