Yeah well, it’s that “Bang for a Buck” mentality that has our Governor in the head lines today.
If the Governor for example had taken the time to romance his wife… to work on the history and relationships among his family,we would all be better off this morning. Instead he went for the “Bang for a Buck”…
So how does that situation have to do with this? These buildings deserve a more considerate relationship, one that respects that back in the day, building stewards considered quality and design. In this case, the tile guy was dispatched to go get some nameless 10cents psf tile when there is such quality available. Why? Bang for the Buck…
The point is that maintaining the fabric of these neighborhoods is in the hands of “Bang for a Buck” finishes… thanks 1119, that’s one of the problems here.
Your tile job looks fine. You have taken a rectangular space and given it a clean, sharp look.
I do tile work, and you have probably gotten the most bang for your buck. Is it possible to throw more money at it? Sure, but there’s no accounting for taste, and for a rental you can’t lose with white on white.
Heaven forbid, but if it ever becomes necessary to fix after a strange tenant, make sure you have some tiles from that lot.
You did fine. The other “guests” should post photos of their bathromms to show us how it should be done. We hard workers who try to do the right thing are obviously clueless.

Beautiful…. congrats on a job well done!
its granite, my contractor got the tiles for me, he got it from some tile shop i think at sixty fifth st and 8th ave or 9th ave. some where around there, alot of tile shops.
Whatever are you all talking about> Who are you? You are “guests” and you talk such trash. Register, behave nicely, then your comments might be worth something.
Thanks for sharing your photos – this blog is getting so realtor focused it is nice to see some actual renovation going on.
I didn’t like it at first, but now I do.
It kind of reminds me of a hotel bathroom.
Is that Corian? The niche is a nice touche.
Where did you get the tile?
this place was a rental before i brought it, it had no details left. it was nasty. it had to be gutted. what third world products you talking about? half the stuff is made here and design here.
8:17 I am with you in your defense of Melissa’s right to fight hard and win a renovation… Bravo.
But if it really does suck… in a “oh my, you had the opportunity and you blew it” (bad sucking metaphor)… Check that
if it really does suck… as in “Brooklyn 3 units at a time, is being taken over by a cheap film of badly designed third world product that is caluculated to copy our own history and innundate our own markets, in a flood”(another bad sucking metaphor)…. Check that
Maybe in the shine of those tiles, you can see the vague outline of the ears of Ross Perot, he voice echoing truth about NAFTA… “It’s that sucking sound…” That’s it…
It sucks… not personally, not intentionally, and certainly not hurtfully… but never the less, it is so because it ignores that by degrees, this place which we love, is being erased.
As penance you (8:17) should buy Melissa some local art.
Nice bathrooms. But you do suck at taking pictures. 😉 They are cut off! Wider lens or step back.
