Comments (35)I like this tile as well. Very sleek and mod looking. I would consider running it vertically instead of the picture horizontal pattern. It might give the illusion of more height in the shower surround. The color is great. If you are worried about it being "too much," you could always see if they have the same tile in a different shade and mix the two or doing one wall in a contrasting (lighter) color. I personally like it as long as you have good lighting....See Moreneed help fr an inexpensive kitchen conter top
Comments (10)I sanded then primed but on a base coat then went to hobby lobby and bought 5 different shades of Americana acrylic paint and sea sponge. I went to lowes and picked s countertop and took sample withe to hobby lobby. I started with one shade sponging . When it dried I did another. I kept doing that till I got the look I wanted . You can add more of any color at any time if you want to. Once I got it like I wanted I put 6 coats of poly acrylic over the top that I got at lowes. I didn't use the countertop for 2-3 days. When I first did it I left something wet on and it bubbled but once the wet was removed it goes right back to normal. As time has gone on and it's cured more it doesn't do that anymore....See MoreRenovating a tiny( 4'2"x7'8") outdated bathroom.
Comments (53)I am so happy to see you here! I will have to go back and see if i can retrieve my posts... thought I would make them into a little book for my daughter, with photos. Quick run-down on the bathroom (not travels, no time) - The kitchen has a rather elegant sliding door with beveled glass panels. Painted white, since this was the original colour. GD's new bathroom has the doors I had picked earlier; i thought of polishing them but decided sprayed automobile paint (on a resin primer) would wear better. Especially since it is such a small bathroom, and she is so splashy. I have this finish in my kitchen and it has lasted 15 years now. A tad chipped here and there, but only needs a wipe down once a week. Same finish for the balcony doors, also split like the bathroom. We have a new wardrobe, a study table with built-in shelves, and a small chest of drawers for her odds and ends. I want to re-tile the tiny balcony, more as a little statement. Currently we are looking at Portuguese tiles, though I did think a mosaic with a funky cat might be nice. Let me see the costing. The room will be painted a neutral adobe, with bright white woodwork and an off-white ceiling. This means she can go wild with cushions and covers. Other changes in the flat; We have changed the glass in the master bedroom and living room from small cramped panes to a single pane for each section with a 1" bevel all round. Doubles the cost of the glass, but looks so elegant! The air-conditioning is being re-located. The compressors were all mounted in the bedroom and living room balconies, which looked terrible and meant the balconies (very narrow, only 30" deep) couldn't be used for anything. Not even plants. So they are being moved so that the compressors can be mounted at the rear of the building. two down, one to go. Now we can put in some nice plants, fishtail palms etc. The kitchen counter on one side came out intact and will be reused elsewhere. I am planning overhead storage, cupboards, and a draining cupboard for plates and glasses. Right now there is no dish washer, though a place is earmarked, but for now I will put in a cupboard with steel racks for cups, glasses and plates, all hidden behind pressed glass doors. This is all in the planning stage.... Pictures in a little while, they are mostly on my ipad and don't transfer well to the mac. They come without numbers... so I have to rename the or something. Somebody tell me how to do this!...See MoreCeramic tile dilemma

6 years agoI will always vote for Copenhagen (#3) but I am biased - it is what I have! I know it is not for everyone with its busy-ness, but over three years later I still adore it.
But my paint color is a more taupey grey. Not the greatest pics but here is

6 years agoIMO #3- The white on the countertop will make your dark island to stand out and dark contrast will make your kitchen to stand out... put all together and your kitchen becomes a focal point with beautiful details. Bellow just to give you an idea what I mean...
#5 Is a nice countertop but IMO very boring, kills the appetite :-) I can see this go much better in the bathroom on the tub platform or the vanity tops.
Good luck
