Bathroom Reno #4: Glass Tile Time
Luckily for us, today’s bathroom blogger took some photos of the “somewhat livable” bathroom in his South Slope co-op before demolishing it to start over with this glass tile theme. The toilet is Duravit, the tub Zuma, the fixtures and sink Lacava. He went with a satin-finish slate floor and a concrete slab countertop from…
Luckily for us, today’s bathroom blogger took some photos of the “somewhat livable” bathroom in his South Slope co-op before demolishing it to start over with this glass tile theme. The toilet is Duravit, the tub Zuma, the fixtures and sink Lacava. He went with a satin-finish slate floor and a concrete slab countertop from Room & Board. His one regret? The amount of grout that’s visible as a result of using such small tiles (which, by the way, are from Waterworks).

12:36 Think that people just have different taste. I can stand back and see the promise of leaving the old tiles/style in place and just updating as you are saying, but it’s just not my thing. I’d go modern too, and would probably love to live in a totally modern apt that was like a boutique hotel. however, realize that you wouldn’t, and that’s OK.
i do have a problem with people on this site absolutely refusing to see any other point of view, so glad that you brought up another point of view.
think we’d all learn something if we pointed out alternatives and then we each actually thought about those alternatives.
too much bickering going on and not enough discussion probably.
Ignoring the issue of whether such a topic belongs on the site… Am I the only one who prefers the place pre-reno? Aside from the wooden toilet seat and tacky cabinet under the sink, I frankly would prefer to have the old subway tiles and tub. I guess I just don’t understand the current taste – do people really want to live with something that looks like the Soho Grand?
The appeal of Brownstoner to me is getting a glimpse inside people’s houses and lives, and seeing how they live in their Brooklyn brownstone homes. So this bathroom feature makes perfect sense to me, and i hope to see more of these types of features!
12:10/12:21 are the same person.
TO the clowns that say this feature doesn’t belong. If it drives you away, then you shouldn’t be here in the first place. What exactly do you think the purpose of this site is?
Trust me, you leave and you WONT be missed. I love the tile color. What a good number of people struggle with is how to maximize such small spaces in their brownstones and find nice, creative ways to finish their bathrooms & Kitchens. So detractors Be Gone!
i’m confused as to where the toiletries go
12:10/12:21 – I heartily disagree. This type of thing is what brought people to the site in the first place. This is much more interesting and where more of us are at, than endless condo development, real estate speculation, stupid arguments about neighborhoods, and the commute to Wall Street.
If running series on bathrooms, kitchens or any other room drives readers away, hopefully it will be the types who have to say everything with over the top profanity and/or general negativity and nastiness.
I agree with the earlier poster, if not his/her tone. This feature doesn’t belong on the site and it will drive most readers away.
glass tiles are beautiful. They require special care in installation though because most need to be set in epoxy grout, which is
a little tricky.
I assume there will be a glass partition going in, unless there is no shower head.
