The brand new Vicostone quartz countertop has been put in within the hallway lavatory! The colour/sample is named Elysian, and it’s the remnant from what I bought for our grasp lavatory transform. I’ve to confess that after 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 return to my senses and understand that sure, I hate it with the self-importance coloration, however the self-importance coloration goes to be modified. And sure, I hate it with the backsplash/accent tile that’s at present there, however that tile goes to be swapped out.
In order of proper now, it’s truly type of tough to understand my new Vicostone quartz countertop within the lavatory as a result of it’s surrounded by issues that also must 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 mild 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 instructed that wooden in a rest room would by no means final. Nevertheless it lasted eight years, and it’s nonetheless in nice situation! You possibly can see how I made it right here.
Now in case you’re questioning why on the earth I’d begin altering issues out on this lavatory proper now whereas I’m neck deep in my studio mission and attempting to get the ball rolling on our addition, that signifies that you in all probability missed this publish. 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 possibly can see how a lot cooler grey it’s than the present tile, which reads very heat and nearly 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 lower a countertop to go on this space as effectively, however as you’ll be able to see, I nonetheless have wooden right here.
That they had no thought learn how to get that countertop out of there, and fairly truthfully, I’m unsure learn how to, both. 😀 However since I’m the one who reworked this lavatory and constructed that space, I feel I’ll have a significantly better probability at getting it out of there than they’d. And I can assure you that I will discover a approach. So I simply requested them to go away 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 dwell with this in between state, the place issues are undone and different issues conflict with one another, in the interim.
It’s at all times 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.
