Bathroom remodel

So far, this is what is planned for our bathroom remodel:

Main inspiration: this tile
Nantucket Dune from Tile Shop













The tiles are 1/2" wide, held together on a mesh screen.  It is really lovely stone and glass.  The light colored stone matches the 19"x19" tile for the walls and floors.  The shower floor is slightly darker than the rest of the tile in a 2"x2". 

With this sink/console (not sure about faucets yet)

Lexi from Home Depot




















Home Depot is lovely - free shipping, free returns to the store if we don't like her (Lexi, the sink).  I hope we like her because she is the closest to what we want in the price range that we want to pay. My ultimate sink was from Restoration Hardware, but of course that was going to be 4xs as expensive.  So sad.


With this storage cabinet, which we will have to see how well it fits and matches Lexi.  If we keep her.

Amanda by Home Depot



















And heated floors, and adding 2 small windows above the shower.

Still to decide:
  • Paint color (probably a dark beige, tan, light brown color)
  • Faucets - sink and shower
  • Glass shower doors/enclosure
  • Toilet (yes, this is a decision)
We were going to try to get a trough drain, but it is way more expensive than we thought, so just a normal drain. 

So, there you have it: our bathroom remodel so far.  The cost is choking me, but we are not DIYers, therefore we are just contributing to the economy... of our friends and family who know how to do these things!

Tangy Peach Trench Coat

This is gorgeous. But I have a trench coat that I love, and a desire not to have 2 trench coats. No, wait, I do have 2 trench coats; a longer one in khaki and a short one in black. 1 too many already.
