Called the contractor to replace disgusting shower stall. You are so right- my contractor is NOT a designer! I’m not making another move until I think this through the rest of the way.

The contractor had a guy that did not know how to tile. He was slow as molasses & took a smoke break every 15 minutes while sitting on a 5 gal bucket in my driveway. It turned out so bad that we fired that contractor and just found another tile guy thru a friend. He had years of experience & it turned out beautiful. That was a big project and quite an experience!

When you do a contractor renovation, please include how not to get ripped off: how to ensure the work done meets your standards and stuff is not crooked, scratched, or missed spots of caulking; how to check the pricing so no surprises at the end with add on; how to find a trustworthy contractor because reviews online are misleading. Basically how to talk to and work with contractors to ensure we receive what we pay for versus arrogant rip offs. I'm sure your experience as a pro is quite different than a single parent woman without connections to the trade.

Julie . I can’t thank you enough for posting this video. I was just about to begin a bathroom remodel in my mid century, modern fixer-upper. I used to be a professional fine artist and became a realtor. I feel like I have a fair amount of design experience however, there were definitely things I would have overlooked if I had not seen your video first. I implemented your idea about doing a long, horizontal shower niche, which turned out to be a showstopper. I also didn’t know anything about the Schluter strips and that would have been a costly mistake. I wish I could add a picture of the before and after, but your video really helped me to create the perfect Zen oasis in our small space. Thank you so much.!!

I love your 'Mistakes' series Julie! You are always spot on. I might want to add another suggestion for the vanity lighting. I personally, have to have it done certain way. No over the mirror wall sconces, they HAVE to be on both sides of the mirror, or if you are dealing with one huge mirror, then have the pendants hanging from the ceiling right in front of the mirror, on either side of the sink(s). This is so much more intimate and flattering when looking at yourself in the mirror.

This was a hard lesson learned for me when working with natural stone: The sealer you use can completely change the color of the stone. Our bathroom was almost all done, and the colors looked amazing together - soft varied slate tones with a pale creamy yellow wall. Then the contractor used an "enriching" sealer on the slate, and the colors in the stone turned much deeper and warmer. We had to repaint the entire room because the paint completely clashed with the sealed tiles. It looks beautiful now with copper-colored paint on the walls. But it was not the serene look we were going for.

Just found your channel and loving it. Must have been meant to be as we are currently doing a master bathroom update (ie, no tear out of floors or tiles at this time) just paint, replacement of builder grade mirrors with standalone mirrors, countertops, vanity lights, faucets and pulls. I have three dilemmas...our tall 12.5ft walls which makes decorating hard, which vanity lights are appropriate to use on mirrors (we are replacing our builder grade mirror with three tall individual mirrors) and second guessing my Greek Key wallpaper choice (wondering if it is the right scale for the space).

For walls that tall, I would go with double wall sconces that flank both sides of the mirror instead of a singular one up top. It will add more dimension to the space
@landonedwards75044 жыл бұрын
As a contractor who has previous experience in colors (aluminum and plastics industries), I totally agree that looking at materials in the light of the surroundings is critical to making a good choice. But one thing few people realize is the majority of people cannot accurately discriminate a single color when multiple others are in close proximity. As in, multiple paint samples next to each other on a small wall space. With color perception, the brain "sees" peripheral vision, and that influences judgement. So even when you think your eye is focused on a single color among others, the brain influences perception by combining the others, along with the lighting, and the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical surface and "sheen"). Color industry standards say a color should be evaluated against a uniform background of Munsell N8 Neutral Gray under daylight illuminance (6500 degrees Kelvin). You don't need to get that technical. But you shouldn't bias your decisions with a lot of peripheral vision "distractions" that won't be part of the final product. As to bullnose, people who source their own tile should have their fist question be, "Is bullnose available for this?" Also, no tile contractor is going to have an effective solution for covering the raw edge of tile - short of butting tile molding, wood molding, or metal against it. Sometimes a pencil edge tile can be used in place of bullnose, but it generally looks funky. Finally, color temperature of the lighting you use in the space should be geared to the color palette you choose (i.e, don't use warm light of ~3000K with grays or blues, and vice versa), and definitely use layered lighting to the extent you can. Not simply can lights in the ceiling. LED with dimmers is the only way to go.

I just learned from this comment that cool lighting is better than warm for blue. Thanks very much. Jane

I really enjoy your videos! About bathroom lighting....doesn't lighting above the mirror create face shadows? I think I read to do the lighting to the side of the mirrors to create the best facial lighting, am I right? Also do you recommend warm or cold lighting? Both depending on the situation (poor natural light)?
@JulieKhuu Жыл бұрын
I go for warm always- 3000K bulb is my favorite. Vertical sconces on the side of the mirror is best for makeup application and lighting the face. If you don’t need that, then any vanity light will do. Sure, top down may cause shadows, but sometimes we want a linear direction because it frames the elevation and mirror better. That’s up to you to make that design decision.

Remodeling a 50 year old bathroom and loved your ideas. Would like to know how to pick flooring based on the tile used in the bathtub area and the countertops. What do you suggest for floors a wood look tile or ceramic tile. Cabinets are white , vanity top is a slab with white and grey, bathtub is ceramic tile in muted neutral tones on porcelain similar color.

First of all LOVE your videos... second ,OMG, my contractor dismissed my concern about the unfinished edges on the porcelain tile like the one in your video, for my shower stall renovation. He just grouted all the edges and now when I sit on the shelf in the shower I can feel the roughness of the ledge, apart from the fact that it looks so amateurish. What can i do, post renovation about 5 months ago?
@JulieKhuu4 жыл бұрын
Oh no! Rookie contractor mistake 🤦🏼♀️ You can find a painter to come sand the edge and paint it to match the color of the tile. I’ve done that before with an expert finisher to fix a past contractor’s mistake for my client. They will seal it so the new finish doesn’t rub off

@@JulieKhuu oh Wow! thank you Julie for responding, I'm blown away! ... Yes, unfortunately he was so convincing until now I'm finding out mistakes. . Is it too late for me to hire someone to apply a "schlister(?) trim" you spoke about in the video, especially around the entry step-in and "in- shower shelf" . If that's possible which expert should I be looking to hire? Also I noticed some of the grouting came off the edges, between the wall tile and the floor of the shower. what should I do???

Interesting content... The lights over a large mirror is very classy. And I had not thought about a mirror ontop of a mirror wall. Great idea. Do you have a video on design wins, instead of fails? Also I lived in Japan for half my life, so I prefer a water closet and no toilet in the bath room. I just think the bathroom should be where we feel clean all the time and having a toilet in there seems unclean. And ideas about that?

Thoroughly enjoy your channel! Looking forward to your diy bathroom videos. My hubby and I are currently doing our master bath and stumbled on another option to edge detail ceramic tile. While searching to source a matching bullnose not available at big box store, the tile manufacturer images showed mitered edges on the outside corners. we gave it a go and found our wet saw even had the 45° block to make the cuts! Turned out spectacular as I had hoped to avoid the outlined look of the schluters. Thank you for all your inspiring content.

I’m not a huge fan of schluter strips myself, but when you’re dealing with cheaply made tile sometimes, the mitered cuts chip off the finish. So glad it worked out for you though Erica 🙌🏻 DIY bathroom renovation is finally live tomorrow! Hope you’ll tune in 🙏🏻☺️
