9 Photos, 16,084 Views, FlagWe purchased this home in September of 2009 and planned to first concentrate on removing wallpaper (on unprimed walls! and painting in all rooms, removing the popcorn ceilings and re-plastering in all rooms, in addition to removing the carpet and replacing with hardwood in all common areas. We also planned to paint the kitchen walls and cabinets to spruce things up a bit while we saved for a complete remodeled kitchen. Unfortunately, we were so tired by the time we got to the kitchen (we were planning a wedding at the same time!, we decided to keep everything as is until we could afford the remodel! FINALLY (2 years later, we can say that we are done!

5 Photos, 298,958 Views, FlagGlass tiles Vessel sink Tub Surround. Entire project was DIY. I tried to achieve the spa/hotel look and feel.WOW. Thank you everyone for all of your kind responses and feedback!!!The sink is made by a company named Suneli and I bought it from a local bathroom design store.The glass tiles go all the way to the floor and behind the toilet. I haven't had any problems with water splashing everywhere with this vessel. Thanks again to everyone on the RMS community.
***I found the glass tile from a local Classified ad here in Los Angeles. It seems to be different shades of olive green, sage, and tan. -
12 Photos, 222,953 Views, FlagOur "basic builder" bathroom previously consisted of a 5x8 space with your basic, boring white vanity, white tub, and white cheap-o tile, and boring wall paper. We were inspired by several of the bathrooms we saw on this website plus many HGTV shows that gave us the inspiration we needed. We wanted a contemporary spa feel with modern amenities. Although our space is small we took advantage of the high 9' ceiling by running the tile all the way to the ceiling and installing 4" recessed lighting. This really draws your eye up! We used 18x18 tiles on the wall, 6x6 on the shower floor, and a great 1" tile around the vanity and toilet. It's actually a mix of glass tile and slate. The vanity, sink, and faucet were purchased on-line and the mirror was cut locally to fit the exact space.
We are thrilled at the transformation and can't believe how much bigger our 5x8 space now appears!
ADDED INFO-- Thank you all for the kind comments, we are amazed at the feedback! Thank You! Several questions have been asked about the cost and materials, so here's the info....
COST-- We loved the comment about estimating the cost at $40,000. Actually, it cost $8,000 for everything.
DESIGNER-- Someone asked if we hired a professional designer. Nope. We are addicted to HGTV and picked up lots of tips and ideas from the show (esp. Candice, Vern, Angelo and David Bromstad and this website. We purchased all of the materials ourselves. We did some of the work ourselves and hired a great contractor for the tough stuff.
FAUCET-- Purchased at ExpressDecor.com for $139
VANITY-- It's a Decolav vanity (5510-ES that includes the sink. EveryVesselSink.com for $900
TILE-- All purchased at Expo (Isn't it a shame that they are all closing!. 1x1 Glass Tile/Slate were the most expensive of all of the materials! $32/sf.

Thanks again for all of the kind remarks! If we can do it-- so can you! -
14 Photos, 206,922 Views, FlagWe purchased our outdated 1964 home 10 years ago and have been remodeling it slowly. We recently finished the kitchen/laundry addition. One of the main drawbacks of our home was the fact that there was no laundry room. The washer and dryer were previously located in a small closet off of the main hallway.
After much thought, we decided to include the washer/dryer in the new kitchen area. We'd seen this many times in European homes and decided it would be a good fit for us as well. So far, I've really enjoyed it. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and it has been really handy! Also the high counter tops over the washer/dryer makes a great buffet area, easily accessible to the patio area (coming soon...
By far, the most difficult item for me to pick out was the counter tops. I really love the look of cement but was nervous to use it because it's not as durable. After months of looking at different materials we finally decided on quartz counter tops by Caesarstone in Raven. Hard to tell in the photos, but it's a very soft black/deep gray. We went with stained concrete for my table though and I absolutely LOVE it! In fact, it's my favorite part of the kitchen!
I've spent countless hours both watching HGTV and browsing here on the website getting ideas for the remodel. RATE MY SPACE was the source of much inspiration and I've been looking forward to finally adding my own photos to it :
Our goal was to create a warm, cozy kitchen area that all four of us could enjoy. Used warm colors to help counter the LONG, gray Oregon days. We're happy with the results!
Thanks for taking a look :

Added: 15 hours ago8 Photos, 56 Views, FlagWe began by knocking out a wall that separated the kitchen and dining room. The refrigerator was placed in this wall as well. Then we ripped out all the cabinets. There was laminate, on top of linoleum, on top of the beautiful fir hardwood (like the rest of the house. We cleaned all the flooring, sanded, verathaned. The floors turned out great! A little rough in certain spots in the kitchen, but part of the country heritage look. The fridge was put where the old sink was, and the sink was put on the other side of the kitchen, underneath a window.... where sinks belong! We put in white cabinets, buther block countertops, a stainless steel sink, with a beautiful dark rubbed bronze faucet. The chandelier we put in the dining room matched the color of the faucet and the style of the home. Next to the fridge and pantry there was a perfect size spot for a 1930's fridgidaire I picked up for $150 (non working, but a great cupboard space because it matches the white cabinets and old silver hardware on the exterior of the fridge matches the brushed stainless steel hardware on cabinets. We savored a leftover piece of the butcher block countertop and put it on top of an old singer sewing machine base that my neighbor gave to me!
