My Master Bath Floor

My Bathroom Floor

When we moved into our home- about a year and half ago- the bathroom floor was NASTY- And although I would have liked to have gutted the entire room- (and still plan to one day)- we were just going to replace the floor right away. (My DH did the job!)

Not wanting to "lock myself in" to anything, I wanted to put in a floor that would go well with a lot of different stones -so that when I do replace the tile in the shower and bath and counters- I would have a lot of options.

I also have a pile of tile in my master closet- for when we replace the counters with some that have legs. I wanted a floor that would look alright with my current California tract home oak cabinets and cream tile- while waiting for the re-model which might not happen for years. I chose a 16 x 16 limestone, had it set on the diagonal- and made a grid with a mosaic travertine. This pulls in a lot of colors- including warm tones and cream for my existing materials- while still giving me numerous options for the future. I like how the mosaic also makes the floor not too slippery when wet.

Here you get a peek at my Masland carpets. I chose the highest thickest nicest carpet that Masland carries. Stores use different names- so I am guessing- but I think it is the Shangri-La- the carpet that I just told Jill to not use- because it made too boring a rug. (although it might be Espresso) You can see the looped piece- that is being utilized as a mat during the flooring installation- that carpet is a sample of the Masland carpet I put in my children's bedrooms and office. Super durable- fabulous- I have loved them both. I like dark colors in carpet. I think they are just as beautiful as light carpet- but hide more. I also wanted colors that would not be limiting- as I like to "re-decorate."
