We are in the process of remodeling our downstairs bathroom. We had a contractor come in who gave us an estimate and then set us loose to go find tiles and accessories for the bathroom. For the most part I am a practical person. . . But sometimes I like to go a bit above and beyond. Our friend recommended that we make an appointment with the designer at 84 Lumber. That is what we did. The showroom is on the top floor and let me say that their designs are beautiful. I was honest and told the designer, Kristin, that I didn't have an idea in mind but I would know what I wanted when I saw it. I'm sure for a designer those words are frustrating to hear. However, she was extremely patient with me. She started showing me samples. At first I was like . . ."wellllll these are nice . . .but not me." Then BAM! I saw it! The tile I knew was meant for me! I started getting excited! Kristin saw where my mind was going and started pulling tile to accompany the one I picked for the shower walls. It became apparent that I am big on texture. I wanted texture everywhere! In a little over an hour I had picked shower tile, accent tile for the shower, shower floor tile, bathroom floor tile and grout. I was beyond happy with my choices. I asked the designer what she thought of my choices and she said they were very nice. My husband said, "you have to say that!" She said that if she had not liked a choice I was making or thought it didn't flow she would have tried to steer me in a different direction. That was nice to know. I know that my tastes are different than most peoples. I don't want what everyone else has. It was nice to know though, that she would have been honest if my choices didn't look nice together. Our tile is ordered and will be in soon. I can't wait to see the finished product!!! Now, of course I want to remodel my main bathroom . . . . . LOL read more
