    When you do your bathroom renovation, put outlets for blow dryer, electric toothbrush, and water pic in a large drawer or cabinet. Then you don’t have to unplug and hide them when the housekeeper or guests enter that room.

    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.

    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.

    • @JulieKhuu

    Painted my 25 year old bathroom white (BM Cotton Balls). Beautiful! Then the light fixture looked bad, replaced ugly brass bulb monster with sleek modern silver. Replaced vanity knobs. Looks great! 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. After watching this video, I think I can pull it off. Thanks Julie!

    Go away from your home for a couple of weeks, observe the bathrooms, rooms you are using during those weeks and compare with how yours are right now. It’s the best way to get your mind re-seeing, rethinking what you have back home. I have been visiting my daughter and I can see many of the opportunities to improve my living space. Now to carefully think it all through before starting. So thanks to this video

  • @landonedwards7504
    @landonedwards7504 Před 4 lety +23

    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.

    • @janeseymour509
      @janeseymour509 Před 3 lety +5

      Wow! That’s the kind of detail I like to see! Discerning colors takes practice. Only after months of pouring over BM Fanbooks which I purchased for about $30 each & painting my own sample boards from broken down drawers out of the gutted kitchen was I able to discern undertones & other subtle differences from one color to another. I just learned from this comment that cool lighting is better than warm for blue. Thanks very much. Jane

    I love all your suggestions and idea photos too !!! I love DIY projects. I’ve done so many in the last house. A master bath Reno gave me a 6 month headache. 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! Lol.

    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.

    Very inspirational video with many great ideas. We just purchased a home with a circa 1970 beige 4x4 in tile bathroom. There is nothing I can do, other than keeping it very clean, to make it better except get the sledge hammer! They repainted the vanity black and did some sort of finish on the countertop that is black and fading in spots. Gold and white plastic mirrors over the beige, rusty sinks and a medicine cabinet off to the side that looks like the door to a saloon! It's a horror show.

    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 🙏🏻☺️

    Now I’m curious if you can touch on the subject of all things “laundry”, like laundry room decors, hacks, and such. Also, for those with limited space, small homes, or live in an apartment, where or how would you “hide” your dirty laundry, because it can become an eyesore.

    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.!!

    Also instead of a Schluter strip a good contractor can cut and install tile at 45 degree angle. It looks much better than Schluter strips :)

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Před 4 lety +9

      Yes this method works to butt two tiles together, but for exposed edges you need a bullnose for a cleaner look (without Schluter). Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated 🙏🏻

    I have only just found your fabulous site & had to laugh when you touched on shower niches. I had 4 builders & my husband all giving their input about where to put 1,2 , 3 or 4! I argued & won. We just had 1 & I’m glad to say I instinctively put it where you advised, which also enabled us to utilise the space below to create a shallow cupboard accessed from the other side. Both were created from a door entry. I have my niche in the shower & a shallow cupboard. Neither were planned because we thought the entry would be boarded up so it was a double bonus.
    You also mentioned using the same tile but changing the direction. We did this & it works beautifully. It’s so subtle.

    Loved your video!! Struggling with a windowless basement bathroom. Just don’t know how to finish it - inclined towards tile but want something that will brighten it. I was thinking keep it a little raw and show some concrete, but also love the expensive flashy acrylic panels I found. I just don’t want to spend a ton of money but want it to look good. Also, prefer a timeless look so that it doesn’t look dated in 5 years!
    I welcome any and all ideas. I think I will make a inspiration board, that was great advice bc there are so many options out there!

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Před 3 lety +1

      Keep it light and bright Jen- that means whiter finishes as opposed to darker grays (concrete) or natural wood unless it’s light. If you decide on something darker, layers of light from the ceiling and the walls is how you bring more brightness in

    This is a great video, thanks. One small correction is that certain through-body porcelain tiles can be used like stone and have an exposed edge
    This is handy if you prefer the look of a squared-off edge rather than bullnose or Schluter but don't want the expense of natural stone. The effect can be quite striking if done properly.
