    You did well....I would have put the mirror down to the countertop or now, you can install a mosaic or tiles as backsplash because the paint will get damaged by water overtime. nice job !

    Very pretty... But since it is a guest bathroom how about hiding toilet bowl scrubber someplace else and getting a stainless trash can that has that flip around top? If no one uses shower on a regular basis perhaps a prettier rug in front of shower- one less functional? Just being picky b/c I admire what you did.

    Oops! This isn't a guest bathroom... Disregard my thought on rug! Sorry!

    I'm presently remodeling my bath. How do you like that half glass shower door? I can't decide whether to have a glass enclosure, half, or none at all.

    Why the blue paint? Gray would be a better choice.

    Nancy, I have found, when showering in half glassed showers like this, that the water splashes outside quite a lot unless you squeeze up against the wall with the shower head pointing directly down. A door is much more practical. So I say, don't do it!

    Don't like the teeny little dresser that was added in here, the scale is all wrong, something taller and sleeker, perhaps the same style as the sink base would have been better. But overall, very nice.

    Agree that toilet brush should be hidden and trash can should always have a lid in bathroom.

    I like it.

    However,If the client was in tighter budget

    The marble could have been Polished,

    Cabinet had a 50/50 chance of rehabilitation, in an espresso color, perhaps.

    New fixtures ( Brushed nickel or Chrome.)

    Either way nice job.

    Question, any reason why the tile wasn't taken all the way up to the ceiling in the shower?

    It looks like a contractor grade bathroom in a new condo development. Not my style but I do realize that a lot of people go for that look. If that is what they were trying to accomplish, they done good!

    Love it, but the sharp corners on the seat bother me. Are bullnose tiles not able to be used?

    @Catherine Hata: That's a good question. The reason why we don't go all the way to the ceiling with the tile is because in a high-rise the ceiling is never straight. So you would see a full tile on one side, half tile on one side, etc... Not going to the ceiling with the tile makes it look more straight.

    Does anyone think avocado tubs will make a comeback?

  • 11 years ago
    Night and day. What kind of toliet?
  • 11 years ago

    Lol ;) Well, I like avocados..... but I'm thinking no on the tubs. But I have been wrong before, so who knows? I think you did a great job, so much more spacious looking. Did you open it up at all? If not.... pretty cool! :) Well,...... Pretty cool either way. :)

    Nice job. A three light fixture would have looked nice.
