Respuesta a: What brand is it? Did you check it out on the Starcraft Builder's faucet review site to be sure that it is lead free and not one of the scam brand ones? http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/sources.faucets2.htm

Q

Respuesta a: Here are some pieces of quartz I've been looking at. Left is Cambria Weybourne, center is Pearl Jasmine, right is Silestone Eternal Statuario. I think the statuario will look beautiful with black and white, it has very fine veining

Q

Respuesta a: Porcelain tile all the way!! Its much more durable, and I have done several homes in that price range with porcelain tile. The way I see it is you can save on the field tile by going with a nice looking porcelain then invest in other cool parts of the bathroom like a more expensive mosaic or nicer cabinets. If you get the right manufacture, you truly can not tell the difference. Here's some pictures of a bathroom I did with marble porcelain, its all about how you design it together!

Q

Respuesta a: One single mirror the width of the vanity. - It's functional. If you step to the left or the right, you never step "out of view'. - A larger mirror brightens and reflects light, making the room feel larger and more pleasant. - It's easy; no choices about shape, hardware, etc. - It's not stylish or trendy, so it'll never go "out of style".

Q

Respuesta a: Kathy, the basic rule for mirrors is 2-4" less than a vanity, so if you have a 72" vanity total, it's made up with 36" individual vanities, and if you going with a single vanity your mirror should be approximately 32-34". Configurations can be made in many ways, here are a few layout examples with the dimensions just to give you an idea. Good luck

Q

Respuesta a: I had the AZ Tile Della Terra Quartz in Troya Honed installed last year and am very disappointed with it. Depending on the lighting, I can see every glass/cup ring mark and fingerprints. I cannot get them out no matter how quickly I wipe them up. Where the fabricator/installer tethered the slab in his truck are marks from that. They buffed them out somewhat, but now I can see where that was done and there is a dip there. Seems to be a very fragile product overall. Would not recommend.

Q

Respuesta a: Here is what we have:

Q

Respuesta a: @Annie T. We used a schluter trim. It is metal and off white. We could of used one that wasn’t as deep since there is an edge to it. Floor and Decor associates helped me.

Q

Respuesta a: @kay many many thanks for posting your pics - the Herringbone looks fantastic. I love the 2x8 size for herringbone. Your pictures give me the impression that the Chloe tile can work well with cooler tones also. I am still trying to get samples to see in person before I decide. @Heather, I so appreciate the tip about Walmart and Lowe’s - unfortunately they are sold out again. @Glee 4 unfortunately I am not near a floor & decor... @kay what color grout did you use with your herringbone?

Q

Respuesta a: @Glee 4 glad you found them, they are pretty identical to cloe and less expensive!! @Heather here's a pic of our Adessi from floor and decor. We used mapei warm gray grout.

Q

Respuesta a: @Runnermom Here are some unfinished photos. (we are still in construction) But you can see the Cloe tile pretty well, in natural light. I included a side angle so you can see the bullnose too. I wish on the left side I got more color variation, but overall I am happy with it. (We will likely change the inside tile as I do not like that part)

Q

Respuesta a: Thank you all for your pics! we just finishes our backsplash - we decided to go with a herringbone and love how it turned out!

Respuesta a: Hi. I am the original poster who asked this question last year! Thanks for posting, Lynnster52, as I am sure it will help others. I am sure that Avalanche looks white next to white tiles. However, I ended up trying a sample tile board with the Avalanche (sanded) grout and it looked pinkish (I mean a slight pink undertone) next to my yellow-undertoned ivory colored tiles. I think it might have been the pink undertones in the sand causing that effect next to my tiles. However, I did notice that if I held a sample of the avalanche grout up to something white it did look pure white! So I guess how we see color really does depend on what is next to it. Part of the reason I was so careful about finding the right white is that I remember someone posting on this board (from 4 or 5 years back, I think) how the white grout looked purplish next to their yellow tiles!! They had photos of it, and I wanted to make sure I didn't end up with the same thing! I think there is a name for this phenomenon, something about seeing the color opposite on the color wheel on an adjacent white surface. (or something like that!) I ended up trying out 13 different types and colors of grout (mostly whites, but I even started trying other light grout colors) on my sample boards. Nothing was looking right. (If my husband knew how much I was spending on grout he'd have a fit!) I came to the conclusion that there must not really be any such thing as a true white sanded cement-based grout! (After all, cement is grayish and sand is pinkish, right?) I finally tried a brand-new type of grout that had just come out by Mapei called Flexcolor CQ. It is not cement-based (it is a ready-mixed silicone acrylic or something like that). Lo and behold, their standard white grout looked like a beautiful, clean white next to my yellowish undertoned tiles!!! I was so ecstatic to finally find the right grout. I never thought I'd get that excited about grout, ha, ha! (To tell the truth , though, if I hold a piece of very white paper next to the grout, I can tell that it is a "warm" white, rather than a cool white. So if anyone else out there needs a warm white grout, I would highly recommend the Flexcolor CQ standard white grout. It is an expensive grout, but it never needs sealing and it is very stain resisitant . It has held up really well on our kitchen backsplash. I really love the way it looks and has held up (Being ready-mixed it was easy to use, too.)

Q

Respuesta a: I absolutely love. It looks prettier in person. We used the mapei grout in avalanche. Our cabinets are a super bright white so that helped tie it all together.
