We’re very happy with our bathroom, however, we’re looking to add a bit of a fun factor to the 2nd. Fun as in color, not as in wacky. This bathroom won’t have much natural light, but will contain a nice, relatively open shower. The polished concrete floors are far from consistent due to old pours, new pours, filler, cracks, aggregate, you name it… we have it. Unlike the upstairs, the space doesn’t contain a “quiet” feel. So what to do with the bathroom? more inspiration at the jump.
The bathroom is a step closer to completion thanks to these suckers from droog. nice suction, even on the tile. they’re a bit larger than I expected. stick ‘em up in a variety of colors at unica home.
We’re 99% finished with the bathroom, minus a place to hang towels and the completion of the skylight.
Jason and Chris from SCS are setting the tile.. Lookin good! They’ll be finished by Monday.
Mario hanging densshield. Lots of debate… Densshield vs greenboard
vs concrete board.
There are key areas of the house that need to be fixed in order for us to move into the house. Ok, ‘fix’ may be an understatement… we actually need to build-out a bathroom and kitchen as the previous owners were in the middle of a renovation. We have a general idea of what the kitchen will look like… priorities will show that the fridge was most important! officially the first item purchased: used sub-zero for $100 bucks.
the bathroom elements are critical as key items are crucial for moving along the build-out process: rough plumbing for the shower, lav and toilet. countless hours sifting thru magazines, design and architecture sites… pinging family and friends, we arrived at a direction we’re happy with.
because there’s only one bathroom in the house, we decided to buff out the fixtures and look for low-cost (relatively) tile. the glass tile is from oceanside glasstile. field elevation in Non-Iridescent Midori (#133). special thanks to amy and dawn at persimmon for that find! the traditional terrazzo in fresh lime is from daltile.
