Phat if your gonna try to lure Pukey off to an isolated abandoned location. Take a hint from her and at least find locations that have beds in them.
Hey Pukey hehe check this out. The Baker Hotel it is pretty fascinating. Look at the guest list and the walkthrough links from the left hand side.
If I eat a brownie on my way over there, there's no telling where I'll end up... Hey... Those pics are coming! I swear! Next week, for sure!
That's pretty cool. I enjoy the abandoned hotels because I worked that industry for 7 years (on the payroll, of course).
Ok here was the full pic of Barry at the house. partial kitchen remodel. Been busy since then. New Tile and countertop To go with my awsome lawn. Things are looking up
I like the old tile countertops. They have a certain charm and homey-ness to them. I'd go with quartz over granite but I think I would do stainless steel overall with a tile top to bottom backsplash. Like this kitchen: I'm going to be doing my bathroom before too long and I can't wait to get it done. The tile in the tub is white with blue decos and I can't stand blue anything.
White and blue tile yep thats what I had. It wears on you seeing it every day. I like the tile backsplash look especially a natural stone tile. However I'm going with stamped tin ceiling tiles as a backsplash. Have them already. It will be a bitch cutting them perfect especially with all the outlets and such. I had one painted like an oiled bronze look and thought that was what I would use however we decided it looks to close of a match to the counter top. So we are looking for a metalic paint more of a deep red tarnished bronze look maybe that crackle finish. Not to many people using it as a backsplash makes it kinda unique.
Wow Joe that's a major transformation. I like the colors. Can I hire you out for a few days to finish my bathroom? I pulled out the shower 6 months ago, and can't seem to get motivated to fix it.
Haha! It's ok I walked around on that concrete floor for three months or more. And I have you to thank for pointing out the obvious. Notice the placement of the center island? My wife was determined to place it at the angle you previously saw.
Our bathroom had yellow, like sunshine yellow, tile everywhere, the floor, the walls (up to about 4ft) the area around the tub. We pulled everything out, the old cast iron tub and all. We put bead board (waynes coating) around the bathroom, then a nice piece of moulding (about 4ft again) then painted a nice fugly brown above that. We did the floor in 12" stone tile and around the tub in 6" stone tile. I wanted to go with a slate tile and polo blue above the bead board, but we got a real good deal on the earthy tone tile. The kitchen counter tops we did in marble tile (12") which sucked. Only because it crumbled when we cut it. I ended up taking 3 boxes of pieces back.
That reminds me eventually I have to do something with the master bathroom. I know exactly what to do with the his and hers sink area as well as the shower. Just what to do with the tub is the question. I'd like to put in an old fashoned claw foot cast iron tub. I had no idea they were as pricy as they are though. It has that faux marble tub and a big ass stained glass window on the back wall. It's an "S" and and "A" and this is the sick part it stood for Scott and Andy. I'm afraid to take a bath.
Yeah, that's kinda sick. I'm doing beige tile in my bathroom. I know it's boring, but the tile is picked out. I'm doing bigger tiles in the tubwell... 8 x 6 and 12 x 12 on the floor. I've changed the floor twice in the last three years, but never with tile, so this is going to have to be it for a while. I pretty much did everything else. I went through a brushed nickel face and everything I could get with that finish, I got... down to the wallplates. The bad thing is the tile in the tub was new when I bought the house, it's just the idiots put it up over drywall and not cement board so it's fucked up and breeding mold now.
Ive got one, a 5 1/2 foot high back soaker tub, with the lions paw feet. Made somewhere around 1900 by the J.L. Mott Ironworks company. The inside needs to be reglazed but it isin really good condition. I was going to put it in our bathroom, but Id have to remove the linen closet to make it fit. And its still on the wall? I'd thought it had fallen by now. That cement board is the shi'ite. Do you have all the little grooved trowels and stuff? Laying tile is pretty easy, and not that hard to make look good, the grout is the secret, that and starting out with a smooth surface (flat) and in the center (so the outside tiles are even, not a full tile on one wall and a 1" wide tile on the other.
I would have to take out a wall to bring it on my bathroom. I think they have classic good looks that withstand time and will always be stylish.
Yeah, its there. The grout is totally jacked up. Everytime I clean it, more falls out of the joint. I also have a window in the middle of my shower. It's a decent size window too and I have to modify a shower curtain to fit so no one could see in. I had bought some window film stuff at Home Depot at first (like a fake stained glass), but then it was like some nudey shadow thing and I couldn't deal with that. The yard is fenced in and there are no neighbors behind me but I have neighbors on one side that could see in if they were in their back yard and they have little kids who run around and I dont need that. I have no idea why they did that. The house was built in 1960, so maybe it was just a tub back then. I want to do glass block in it. I'm in the construction business, so I have connections. I don't have the patience to do it myself. I'd attempt the floor, but that tubwell... uh-uh... no way. Part of me just wants to have someone put in a surround and totally do away with the window altogether.
If you hit up the lowes they have some reflective window film, get that on there first, then put a layer of just plain old dark behind it. That will give the window a 'mirror effect' on the outside, just beware, at night, if the light is on in the bathroom it has kind of the opposite affect. Glass block would be cool. Then you still get the natural light, or you are just another easy target for the dc sniper. What is the exterior of your house? Could you just take the window out, and still have the outside look 'right'? That or move it up to where its about 6 feet or so. There are a lot of houses down here, built in the 50s and 60s that have those obtrusive windows. I dont know how/why that was in style. Probably just a bunch of dirty construction workers....
I could do that. It's vinyl siding. The modified vinyl curtain works because you can take showers at night and there is no shadow. But I think it looks gay in the shower. The window is pretty much like this: Who would do that on purpose? I know a friend who also has a shower in her bathroom like that but she found the reason had to do with when the house was a rental and it was a HUD requirement that every room have a window in case of a fire.
You quit flogging the dolphin in the shower and you wouldnt generate that much steam. A lot of older houses have those windows. I havent seen one that low, or that could open, but Im sure there is a good reason for it somewhere. Do you have a vent fan? I know here it is code that a bathroom has to have a vent fan or a functional window. Not sure about WBG Virginia. The glass tiles would look nice to fill it up, maybe set them on the very edge (depending on how deep they are, or make a 'shower shelf' out of the lower seal.
