ARGH! The shower curtain is sold out online and in stores. I found an ended auction and emailed the seller to see if she'll have another one to list later. (she's a reseller or whatever they're called) Dangit, I had my heart set on that one so I hope something turns up.
This bathroom is kicking my rear. I showed JD the tub when we were at Menards yesterday-and the color looks different than I remember. It does look more beige-y than off white/gray..I'm hoping it's just the lighting in the store, but now I'm worried.
We got a ton of paint chips yesterday from Home Depot and Menards, and I ordered a bunch from BM too. We narrowed the flooring down to two very similar ones. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?jspStoreDir=hdus&catalogId=10053&productId=202191085&navFlow=3&keyword=lf000145&langId=-1&searchRedirect=lf000145&storeId=10051&endecaDataBean=com.homedepot.sa.el.wc.integration.endeca.EndecaDataBean%4052160bca&ddkey=Search and one from Menards http://www.customsurface.com/fod/rapid.html,, the vintage hickory. It does have the "beat up" marks on it like the Home Depot kind, but doesn't show in the sample. I like the HD better, JD likes the Rapid Loc better, and that one is over $1/sq ft cheaper. Not a big deal if it was just the bathroom, but whatever we do in the bathroom we're doing throughout the entire house, and the house is just over 1000 sq ft. I'm going to check online at Lumber Liquidators just in case too..there's one in Omaha.
So, that color of flooring is a lot lighter than we'd originally thought we'd like..will the wine on the walls be ok w/that color flooring? Or does it matter? Rather than putting up beadboard, which JD says we'll still have problems w/in the bathroom b/c of the moisture, would it look ok to put up a chair rail and paint the bottom part of the walls the ivory instead of having beadboard? Also, the vanity I'm thinking of painting the same ivory as the walls, or staining it the White Wash Pickling or Honeydew down towards the bottom here: http://www.minwax.com/products/color-guide/ Thoughts??
We're hoping to put in a new medicine cabinet as well-one w/out the bulbs across the top, so we looked at sconces. Since the sink and tub faucet are polished chrome, do I have to have polished chrome sconces too?
