The brand new Vicostone quartz countertop has been put in within the hallway rest room! The colour/sample is known as Elysian, and it’s the remnant from what I bought for our master bathroom remodel. I’ve to confess that once they introduced the countertop in and set it in place, my very preliminary response was, “Oh no! It’s horrible!” 😀
It took me a second to come back to my senses and understand that sure, I hate it with the self-importance colour, however the self-importance colour goes to be modified. And sure, I hate it with the backsplash/accent tile that’s presently there, however that tile goes to be swapped out.
In order of proper now, it’s really form of troublesome to understand my new Vicostone quartz countertop within the rest room as a result of it’s surrounded by issues that also have to be modified. However right here’s a take a look at how the countertop turned out.
Now that it’s in place, you’ll be able to actually see how the time that’s in there now actually must go. I didn’t understand how brown that tile reads till it was subsequent to the brand new countertop.
And I’ve to confess that it was a little bit of a shock to my system seeing that gentle grey in there after eight years of residing with a darkish stained wooden countertop.
I made that wooden countertop eight years in the past, and I keep in mind being informed that wooden in a rest room would by no means final. But it surely lasted eight years, and it’s nonetheless in nice situation! You can see how I made it here.
Now in the event you’re questioning why on the earth I’d begin altering issues out on this rest room proper now whereas I’m neck deep in my studio project and attempting to get the ball rolling on our addition, that signifies that you probably missed this post. This was positively not on my to do record any time quickly, however generally issues don’t fairly go in accordance with plan.
Anyway, I’m nonetheless planning on utilizing this tile (the unfastened tile that’s leaning behind the tap) within the picture under. You’ll be able to see how a lot cooler grey it’s than the present tile, which reads very heat and virtually brown in locations.
And, after all, that signifies that I must swap out the cupboard {hardware} and the bathe faucet and bathe head.
There was a little bit of a snafu within the plan. They reduce a countertop to go on this space as properly, however as you’ll be able to see, I nonetheless have wooden right here.
That they had no thought how one can get that countertop out of there, and fairly actually, I’m unsure how one can, both. 😀 However since I’m the one who transformed this rest room and constructed that space, I feel I’ll have a a lot better likelihood at getting it out of there than they might. And I can assure you that I will discover a approach. So I simply requested them to depart that countertop with me and let me do it.
So I’m fairly excited to have this new Vicostone quartz countertop in right here. What I’m not enthusiastic about is having to reside with this in between state, the place issues are undone and different issues conflict with one another, in the intervening time.
It’s all the time a bit disappointing when a room goes from that “completed” column again into the “unfinished” column. However that’s the character of homeownership, and of constructing modifications because the years roll on. And after eight years of residing with a darkish wooden countertop, that is an thrilling change.
