Comments (289)Lol, Jesse, I had to study that photo AVSinteriors posted forever to figure out what you meant about the tile direction but after I did I do see what you mean. I never thought of it that way but logic states the water would run off the vertical lengths of grout far more successfully than it will the horizontal! I went in the current family bathroom and had a look at the tiling - very interesting. And a plan changer. I'm glad we hadn't gone too far in planning the shower area yet. Well spotted you on that tile, this is the first time I've heard anyone mention that! I love the inset teak mat-floor for the shower area of that wetroom, too....See MoreNeed help with future bathroom!
Comments (22)Loving all these ideas! Do you know what type or style of shower you want to go for? There are so many options nowadays, Would you like wall-mounted or flushed ceiling, for example? Here are some ideas: This is the Sunshine shower head, a stainless steel disc Ø 350 mm with one ABS disc within that is fitted to the ceiling, complete with water guide system and optional white light therapy, massage or atomiser jets. Or, if you would prefer a shower column, this is the Vehla MySlim Ambiente - the shower column is constructed in brass, with fixed shower holder and integrated progressive valve. 3 mm ultra-slim shower head, non-liming, inspectable and serviceable. One jet handshower in brass, non-liming, inspectable and serviceable, with smooth 150 cm anti-twist PVC flexible hose. You can check out more of our shower heads and columns here.

Comments (201)Thanks guys - we did a lot of experimenting and testing on some old floorboards before deciding on this stuff. The Osmo oil gives a deep and rich finish on old pitch pine that looks very different to varnish - deeper and with more of the grain being brought out. It's more like a beeswax finish from olden times, without the backbreaking labour and maintenance. Interestingly on the new boards (in the top bedroom), it makes far less difference: the new pine just looks yellow and shiny, much as it would if varnished. But the oil should be tougher and lower maintenance. We decided to restore these floors rather than replace as they were actually in remarkably good condition: this house has never had fitted carpets fitted, nor central heating fitted until 2014, and when it was installed it was installed with regard to keeping the floors intact (many systems installed in past decades saw the boards sawn up and hacked about). I wanted look that is obviously original, and can't be mistaken for engineered wood. I did think about a limewashed finish, but bottled it at the last minute and went totally traditional, as I thought less risk of a finish done to a trend that would be hard to reverse....See MoreLounge Layout, Design and Furnishings
Comments (35)Hi, Reviving a bit of an old post here with some more thoughts. I agree with everyone that the sofa is probably best looking onto the window but having given it a try it makes the TV pretty much not visible unfortunately. I can't think of anywhere that I could place the TV that would give a good angle for the sofa in that position. (Other than pulling it out from the wall and angling it, which looked pretty poor when I tried it) Open to suggestions though. I may just have to move the sofa back a little to create slightly more room for chairs. I think if I put it right up against the wall the space will possibly be too big for conversation. In the end I've actually grown to like the eames chair and chesterfield combo so will just add one more chair now. either on the same side as the current chair or two chairs facing each other at different sides of the sofa. :) @Emily - The dinning table is further away from the kitchen in the window thats true. The alternative I think would be to shift everything up towards the bay window more and put the dinning table at the other end of the room. I think that might look a little odd since the fireplace is in the centre?...See Moresloyder

11 years agoSeriously consider the Kohler Memoirs. It's very pretty and fits in that space, and has nice little details as well.

11 years agoThe same tub filler can be used in the ceiling as such:
{{gwi:1394422}}
Not sure there's much of a temperature drop in the short time the water takes to fall - how much warmer is the water near a showerhead compared to the same water after it's nearly fallen to the shower floor? And I'd expect a solid stream of water to be even less affected.
I'm not sure whether I'd place the filler so it drops the water over a likely open unused area or position it to land on one bather's head or something; laminar flow doesn't splash much. But if falls directly into the water, would it be noisy falling from the ceiling compared to just 12" above the water from a typical tub-filler spout?

3 years agoWe ended up with the Kohler Highbridge. While I liked the Tea for Two, in the end I wasn't willing to fuss with something that didn't have a tile flange.
It has a water depth of 12 13/16".
It is 32" wide which was a stretch for us: originally I was looking for a 30" width. But the Highbridge is designed to so it can be partially framed in: the ends aren't finished in porcelain but the center is. We'd seen pictures of people doing that and decided that's what we would do. The deck is 32" but there's more room below the deck and a lot more in the center.
We liked the design of the exposed slanted porcelain on the side: hearkens back to claw-foot tubs and our design style is A&C which had a lot of those.
Plus we had a ton of fun doing the tile design.
Definitely happy with what we ended up with. We ended up doing the same thing in a cottage.
