Any help is appreciated as I have never done a remodeling project before
House remodeling help! Is it okay to have different floor tiles in the bathrooms than in the kitchen? We have a tile picked out for our entire downstairs- including kitchen, bathroom, living and family room (except 1 bedroom which is wood) and the master bathroom upstairs, but my daughters don't think that the tile will match with what they want to be a contemporary bathroom. Is it okay that one bathroom in the house is a different tile? And how about cabinets? Is it all right that the kitchen has one color cabinets (say a coffee color) and the bathrooms are all a darker color? Thank you!
Remodeling bathroom, will no tub prevent me from selling? We moved into the house I grew up in. We're fixing it up and remodeling a number of things. The bathroom is the current project, and we don't want to put another tub in. From what I've been hearing though, I may not be able to sell the house without it. The house is 2 bedroom/1 bath. Is there anyway around this? Like maybe building in a tiled bench into the shower?
Looking for the correct term/keyword for bathroom remodeling? I'm remodeling my bathroom and looking for the correct term/keywork so I can do on-line shopping.

Does anyone know what it calls? Many thanks.
How to start remodeling 3 bathrooms with structural mold damage.? Need to remodel 3 bathrooms with structural mold damage. Thanks for your answers. I have no remodeling skills.

Buying a 104 yearold house-the radiators were removed from remodeled bathrooms-asking if i want to keep them? So i am in the process of buying a 100+ year old house.

Any suggestions for remodeling the bathroom for aging parents? A few months ago my mom fell down while getting out of the bathtub. This worried me.

We are remodeling our bathroom and have asbestos tile in it. How do we remove it? We are remodeling our bathroom and while we were tearing out the cupboards we found that there are three layers of linoleum, the bottom layer of which is asbestos. We can't afford to have a professional come out and do it. Is there any way that we can remove the tile ourselves? We don't want to encapsulate the floor either, we just want to get the asbestos out of there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What are the best selections for remodeling/decorating a small bathroom, specifically, best colors/patterns? I am remodeling my bathroom in my roommates house. So I can't get crazy with the look. My selections should be appealing to the masses. However, I dont want it to be boring. I have always loved the black and white checkered floor look but I dont know if it will work in a small space. I like black and white because i think it can be feminine and/or masculine, contemporary and/or modern and youthful or mature/classy all at the same time. If i went that route with the floor i think i would paint the vanity black and possibly give it the distressed look. But again, i am not sure if such a bold contrast with the black against white will be good for that small of a space.
Are there any places that will assist in bathroom remodeling for the elderly in Northwest Ohio? My father has had 3 strokes. It is hard for him to balance himself to get in and out of the tub.

Can anyone help me in finding assistance with these needs?

Why? the tub will be replaced and I do have a second bathroom to use.

We are kind of concerned about this mesh. Should we replace it by dry wall? Or do something else? Or how should we prepare those walls for laying tile? Does this wired mesh needed? by the way. We are doing complete remodeling. We will change everything there.

Help me to make a choice with my bathroom remodeling!? Ok, I already have a brand new faucet for the bathroom sink that I picked up last year for very cheap on clearance. It's color is polished brass. Now I am in need of a shower head and handle to match. The only problem is that polished brass is not a popular color and is very pricey. Also, our vanity handles are a dull gold color. I have found a color called brushed bronze, which is a dull gold as well. I was thinking about just buying a new sink fixture and then a shower one in the brushed bronze, since I feel it looks nicer than the shiny gold. But, would it be silly to buy a new sink faucet, when I already have one? My husband thinks we should just get a polished brass shower kit to save money. Would using the brushed bronze increase the value of our home at all, or should I just save money and go with the polished brass?
