Upstairs Interiors

Took a few more photos of the upstairs over the last few days.  It's minimal because we don't have any art yet!  Click on the image and cycle through the slide show to see more.

I discovered your blog on Twitter and will be following it to get information about how to remodel our house in Broomfield.

The house looks so clean. I love the lines. The grout joint in the kid's bath floor that lines up with the wall tile is cool. Can you tell me about the towel bars and t.p. holder?

[Nancy]

The towel bars and TP holders are all made by Linnea - very reasonably priced.

I tried to email you but it keeps giving a error message so trying this?

I was wondering if you would mind sending me the paint colors/brand that used for your doors - (the yellow/orange) and also any information on the pavers you used in the backyard. The link you have for them takes you to a software company. Your house is amazing. Actually if you dont mind more info on the metal siding and wood siding would be nice as well. I am currently remodeling a downtown building in Eureka Montana. I really like your home. Take care and thank you for any help.

Metal Siding is preweathered galvalume (HR-16 panels from berridge. http://www.berridge.com

Wood siding is western red cedar from Haida Forest products. http://www.haidaforest.com

If you have more specific questions we can discuss over phone -- or try emailing again.

Thanks, Nancy

Beautiful home -- thanks so much for sharing your story and pics!

Question: In the pics of your main bathroom, I think I'm seeing what looks to be metal trim pieces between the tile and wall (esp. to the left side of the shower and along the top of the tile above the bathtub). Am I correct (or just seeing things)? If so, can you share any more info about it?

[Denver_Modern]

Troy,

Yes you are correct -- We used metal trim pieces from Schluter. You can
order this from any tile store and I'm sure Home Depot even sells it. They
are made of anodized aluminum and you can get it in a variety of sizes and
profiles. Check out their website http://www.*schluter*.com...It is a great,
clean solution for squaring off the edge, so you don't see the rough edge of
the tiles. We used this product for our thresholds into the bathrooms too.

Best, Nancy

Thanks for the quick response - I have a few more questions for you if you don't mind. You could email me if you'd rather...

I had that same tile in mind for my tub surround, and I see how you finished the edges on the wall with the aluminum, but what did you do about the corner where the tub deck meets the vertical run?

These tiles don't have finished edges, so did you just not worry about it, or did you have the edges finished?

Cheeers,

Mark
