As you’ve in all probability seen, our grasp rest room challenge was delayed, nevertheless it appears like we’re on observe to start out very quickly. I’m truly glad it was delayed, as a result of that gave me a bit extra time to nail down the design plan for the room. I had been amassing all of those concepts and particular merchandise on the browser on my laptop computer, after which when my pc crashed final week, I misplaced all of it. So it’s taken me some time to find all the things once more, and whereas I’m nonetheless lacking a number of key components, I believed I’d share with you the path this rest room might be taking. Right here’s a basic overview of my choices to indicate you the general look…
To start with, most of you in all probability already know concerning the mural that I bought for the wall behind the tub. That is the leaping off level for all of my different choices for the remainder of the room.
On the remainder of the partitions, I wished one thing that might give shade and texture with out taking away from the mural. I thought of issues like grasscloth, however in the long run, I made a decision to attempt to do a Venetian plaster-type look. It has been effectively over a decade since I’ve carried out a Venetian plaster wall therapy, so I’ll type of be relearning the right way to do it, however I’m excited to attempt. And since I really like my colours alongside plenty of white, I’ll be doing this on the higher partitions solely, and utilizing white wainscoting on the underside elements of the partitions.
I modified my authentic choice for the tub and opted as a substitute for this freestanding tub with some mild curves. It offers a nod to the normal type that I all the time appear to gravitate in direction of.
After which I chosen this ground mount tub filler in black. I plan to make use of all brushed gold/brass and matte black metals within the room, and I need all of my taps (sink, tub, bathe) to be matte black.
So persevering with with that theme, that is the sink faucet I chosen. In a rest room, I’ve discovered that I desire widespread handles (a lot simpler to wash round!) and a excessive arch faucet.
I haven’t discovered the precise ground tiles that I need to use simply but, however I do know I desire a porcelain marble-look tile in a creamy white and really gentle grey. I discovered these tiles on the House Depot web site to provide you a basic concept, however I believe these are too off-white. I’d like one thing a bit brighter white, however not stark white. Additionally, these are 10″ x 10″, and I undoubtedly need one thing both larger or a rectangle form.
This mirror was essential merchandise as quickly as I noticed it. I knew I didn’t need to use rectangle mirrors as a result of they’re occurring a wall with a rectangle window within the center. Three rectangles in a row didn’t enchantment to me. However I didn’t suppose {that a} round or oval mirror would work effectively for Matt for the reason that optimum viewing space on an oval or spherical mirror is within the center and never in direction of the underside, nevertheless it’s exhausting to see within the center if you’re sitting in a wheelchair.
So once I noticed this mirror, I knew it was good — squared off on the underside for wider viewing space, however curves on the highest to interrupt up the rectangles on that wall.
I misplaced the hyperlink to the chandelier that I had chosen to go over the bathtub when my pc crashed final week. I’m nonetheless looking, nevertheless it appeared virtually an identical to this one, however with out an an identical price ticket. I may have sworn it was about half the worth of this one (extra within the $200 vary). So I hope I can discover it once more. I’ve searched and searched, however thus far, no such luck.
This isn’t the vainness I’ll be utilizing, however I’m exhibiting you this one as a result of the colour is just about spot on. I’ll be constructing the vainness for the lavatory since ours might be 12 ft lengthy and should accommodate a wheelchair consumer on one finish. That clearly required a customized design and construct, so I’ll tackle that problem myself. I’ll be making the vainness out of white oak, and utilizing a white quartz countertop on it, so this can be a fairly good illustration of how that can look.
I nonetheless must finalize the ground tile choice and discover bathe faucet {hardware} that I like in matte black. That’s offered far more of a problem than discovering the bathtub filler and sink taps for some purpose. I additionally want to search out the proper (less expensive) chandelier, and likewise choose wall sconces for the vainness wall. I’d like to search out one thing that’s a bit on the trendy aspect and incorporates each brushed gold and black. However thus far, I haven’t discovered something that matches the invoice that I truly like.
However I believe I’m effectively on my technique to creating a novel and colourful grasp rest room that has my Kristi stamp on it. ?
If I occur to search out the proper wall sconces, I’ll add them to this put up, and to my little collage, in order that we are able to see how they’ll work within the room.
