Properly, this was utterly unplanned. I imply, it wasn’t utterly unplanned. I’ve been desirous to make some adjustments to the hallway toilet for a some time now, however I simply hadn’t deliberate for these adjustments to begin proper now. I sort of have my fingers full with the studio, the studio toilet, and attempting to get the ball rolling on the addition. However I used to be thrown a little bit of a curve ball final week.
Once I purchased the quartz for our grasp toilet vanities, I had to purchase the entire slab, for which I paid about $4000. It was a splurge for that rest room.
However the toilet solely required half of the slab, so I instructed the girl who owns the store that I wished to make use of the remainder of it on one other mission. There was no approach I used to be going to let half a slab of quartz that I had paid for be put into the scrap pile. So she’s been very graciously holding it for me all this time.
Properly, that grace interval has run out. She contacted me final week and stated that she’s closing down her fabrication enterprise, and I wanted to rearrange to choose up my quartz slab. Ummm… 😀 How does one go about selecting up a 10-foot-long half slab of quartz? It’s not like I might simply drive the van right down to the store and decide it up myself.
So I’ve been frantically looking for one other stone countertop store that may go and decide it up for me. I lastly discovered one that might do this instantly, however I knew that nobody was going to choose it up after which simply retailer it for me out of the goodness of their hearts. And certain sufficient, the person picked it up for me yesterday, after which the girl within the workplace referred to as me virtually instantly and requested after they might come out and measure for the countertop. He stopped by at lunchtime yesterday after ending his scheduled set up and did the measurements, and now my quartz slab is in line for fabrication. So…yeah! We’re doing this proper now! As a result of, evidently, I don’t have sufficient plates spinning within the air proper now. 😀
However it’s fantastic. I’m actually enthusiastic about swapping out the darkish wooden countertop for one thing lighter and brighter. However one change will result in one other as a result of that’s how this stuff go. I’ve talked about the opposite adjustments I wish to make in previous posts, however I used to be nonetheless attempting to make selections and weighing varied choices once I shared beforehand. So listed below are all of my closing selections.
The counter tops will go from the present darkish wooden to the sunshine grey that’s in our grasp toilet.
I acquired the material for the brand new bathe curtain final week, and it’s so colourful and exquisite! Right here’s the present bathe curtain on the left and the brand new bathe curtain material on the suitable.
The brand new material is simply as colourful and enjoyable, however the colours are extra me.
The vainness will get a brand new paint coloration, and now that I’ve the bathe curtain material, I can truly select a coloration. It’s going to be in that darkish pink vary from the material.
I’ll even be changing the tile. I don’t dislike the way in which that the present tile seems, however I don’t like the truth that I needed to paint a few of the tiles as a way to get it to look that approach. I put in the present tile once I did the unique toilet transform, and it was truly fairly a bit darker (which you’ll be able to see on the left beneath). After which once I did the colourful makeover, I brightened the tile with some paint (which you’ll be able to see on the suitable beneath).
It was fantastic for a brief resolution, and that momentary resolution has lasted for 4 years. However I don’t like the concept of getting painted tile as the ultimate look on this toilet, so I’ll be swapping it out for one more grey and white tile. I’ve but to confirm that this tile will go together with the brand new countertop, but when it does, that is the tile I’ll be utilizing.
And eventually, the sconces will change. I’ve already proven y’all these sconces, however I’ll present you once more.
I purchased these some time again, and so they’ve been ready for his or her makeover. What I actually wished was a flower sconce that’s extra substantial and appears extra hand crafted (like this one) however there was no approach I used to be going to pay virtually $450 every for brand spanking new sconces. So I’ll be utilizing air dry clay (and possibly some papier-mâché) to make them look extra carved and hand crafted.
I had thought of portray the ceiling within the toilet, however for now, I’ll be maintaining the stained wooden ceiling. I like the heat it provides to the room, and I like that it’s totally different from all the different rooms in the home.
Most of all, I’m simply anxious to do away with that orange vainness. I can’t wait to pick a brand new paint coloration and get that painted!! I gained’t be in a rush to get the remainder of these things finished as a result of I actually do wish to keep centered on the studio for now, however as soon as the brand new counter tops are in, I simply could take a number of hours and paint the vainness.
