Bathroom remodels take some preparation. There are a lot of things to consider, after all. If you are having a hard time getting started, here are some useful questions to ask yourself.

This new basement bathroom has a shot of color.  Oak cabinets with Cinnabar stain from Brookhaven set off the Bisazza tiles that frame the mirror.  Finding the tile to go with the cabinetry was one of those “know it when you see it” moments, we just had to have it.  A neutral counter top and field tile in the shower really allow the mosaic tile to pop.  Even though there is no natural light or ventilation,  with pendants, down lights and a good (but quiet!) fan light, this bathroom is fresh and bright.
