Avalon Interiors I love Cape Town, have only been once but would love to come back! Sadly not anytime soon. A glass enclosure can be custom made for any size shower. Often if the shower is large enough you can do a shield without a door. I personally like frameless sliders for a more modern look. Good luck with your project!

Brie Goebel I agree. Avalon, it would be really helpful if you just updated your tag to include this information since so many people seem to be interested in it and you keep telling us all to go find it ourselves. If it were that easy to find in the chain of comments we wouldn't keep asking! Thanks!

Avalon Interiors That was already done!

tdstonge Thanks, that's the colour I was planning to paint it!!!

Avalon Interiors Then it was meant to be;)

jujucampbell Avalon interiors I love the Petra Latina but cannot find a local distributor. If I order off ofvthe net the shipping will kill me. Ceramic Decor I also like the anatoliatile; however, I want the tile in a crema marfil mimic and they said they wouldnt be releasing this line until next year. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I'm only a few weeks away from having to order the tile so if you come up with anything else it would be greatly appreciated. If I can't find the porcelain I want I'll have to go with natural stone, which doesn't thrill me.

Avalon Interiors This cabinet is approx. 24" wide by 12" deep. It s custom made so we were able to work within the space.

dorjohn Was the shower door custom are? This is our bathroom set up to a "t" and your stunning bathroom is the picture I had in my head ! You are awesome!! Wish you lived in Connecticut!
Need to get the door!? Help

Avalon Interiors Sorry just seeing this comment now. Thanks so much, glad you like the space! Yes the shower door was custom. While there are units that can be purchased ready made this was made smaller than standard tub inserts as we used some of the width for the shelving. Nothing beats custom for giving you the flexibility to do whatever you want.

caroldavidson1 I love this concept as I have a very small bathroom and no storage. I need to know what the size of the shower is and also the size of the storage unit. Thank you

Avalon Interiors Approx. 3 x 5 for the shower and the custom cabinet is approx. 30" wide x 14" deep.

Avalon Interiors Typically you install the plumbing between the wall joists and dont normally have direct access to the plumbing. I this case we needed to borrow space from an adjacent bedroom closet to accommodate shelving in the bathroom so you can in fact access the plumbing from the bedroom closet. Removing the shelving would be to destructive in this case and there is an easier option. You can always make you cabinet slide in and out for easy access as well if you do not have an adjacent space. I have never found the need to have access to the plumbing from the behind the tile. By the time there is a plumbing issue it is usually time to renovate and the wall tile is coming off anyway. But there are always ways to accomodate access if desired. I normally only do that for things that require motors such as steam units and whirlpool or air jet tubs.

Avalon Interiors This question is unrelated to the photo.
The design process doesn't work on a case by case basis per room. Suggestions of colours vary depending on what rooms they are adjacent to. Meaning that if your bathroom is open to the bedroom and you already have colours in your bedroom that you are tied to then the suggestion would be to choose one from existing. For example a soft sky blue could look wonderful with your gold and oak combination but if you dont have any blue in your bedroom then I would recommend something else unless you can commit to using the blue in your bedroom as well.
Hope that helps:)

Avalon Interiors Houzz is a great resource for ideas. Im glad that you are finding it helpful! Not sure I understand your question though. What specs are you looking for?

Avalon Interiors ??? Is there a question I can help you with?

Avalon Interiors The product information for the vanity is on the product tag on the photo showing the vanity. Please see "Shieldmark" project for all photos relating to this bathroom.

reolee Thank-you both for clarifying that there is definitely a difference in quality! I went to Big Box store A and found many broken, falling apart tiles. Big Box store B was, interestingly, a little better. In talking with my "Tileman", I found out that many times, what you buy at Big Box stores is irregular as well, with edges which aren't square, and varying degrees of thickness, making your finished product look sloppy.
I do have to say that choosing flooring, tile, patterns, coordinating it all, etc., is pretty overwhelming! The folks at the small, local tile stores were really awesome in spending a LOT of time with me and going over the 'how-to's' about installation, cost, helping me coordinate, etc. The people at the Big Box stores were also very helpful, but lacked the time I needed to get all my questions answered because there were more customers seeking answers to their questions, too.
Thanks again to you both for taking the time to be so specific!

Avalon Interiors No offence to Big Box stores but you'll always get better, more knowledgeable assistance at specialty stores. You'll also get more unique product at not necessarily more expensive pricing.
Good luck with your project. Having a great installer is actually more important than the quality of the tile. Glad the combined advice was helpful!

iza83 what kind of tiles are these?

Avalon Interiors They are porcelain tiles with a glass insert

Avalon Interiors Unfortunately this tile is no longer available.

PoshHaus You can get special bases, and wet room kits. Email me sizes at sales@poshhaus.com and I will be happy to assist you.

Avalon Interiors What you dont see in this picture is the door into the shower (visible in other pictures posted from the same project). Water does not get out as the door is closed during showers. Most of my clients prefer handheld shower heads as they are great for shaving/cleaning etc.

wendylbg in your line of business as it is a service rude doesnt come into the equation...you are providing a service that can easy be provided by any number of designers eager to bend over backwards for their clients...remember the economy is a disaster do if there is a potential client asking questions it behoove you to give them answers....maybe then they would seek you in a professional capacity....you wont make it long if you reply that an item is no longer available or that you dont know the answer....thanks lzd33

Avalon Interiors Actually Wendy I have been in business for over 23 years and been very fortunate to have worked with wonderful appreciative clients. If you click on 'more info' you'd see that there is a suggested substitute and where to buy them that I had already provided. So my rude comment still stands. Admittedly working with a designer is a luxury and that is why sites such as Houzz are great to provide inspiration to those that cannot afford to work with a designer.

Avalon Interiors Shelves are roughly 14" deep. There is no hamper below but this was custom made so if the client needed one there certainly could have been one incorporated.

carolnyc Thank you for your reply! What a beautiful and functional use of space.

PoshHaus Grohe usually offers the best combination of quality and value in the custom shower setups. http://www.poshhaus.com/store/m/19-Grohe.aspx

Avalon Interiors It is from Rubinet

Avalon Interiors Porcelain. Unfortunately this tile is no longer available.

taramccarthy Thank you so much!

lafxcas There are a number of other questions posted about this beautiful bathroom on Houzz's, including me, all awaiting a speedy response! Many thanks! Laurie Schwartz

donislaine What kind of subway tile is this? Looks soft and pretty not like the other subsay tile I've seen. Could you tell me the brand name? Thanks, Donis

jessicagriffin I used repose gray by Sherwin Williams in a few of my rooms and it looks like it would match this well. It's a very pretty greige that can look either beige or gray depending on what's around it. If you want a darker shade, try Benjamin Moore's stone harbor.

Avalon Interiors ICI’s Chinchilla White

Avalon Interiors It is a custom made cabinet. You could probably make one similar by yourself using stock cabinetry.
Designers ignore rude posts as they get paid by their appreciative clients for their services.

Sandie Kimball The initial question was not the least bit rude. I had the same question because I like the cupboard. Unfortunately, five months is a long time to wait for an answer.

hofmannbj What are the dimensions of the entire bathroom??

Avalon Interiors Roughly 6' x 9'

3D-Tile-Design - Bertram Tasch Hello davetrave,

For sure the glass can be glazed ore etched. Your glass supplier should be able to etch. If not, he works mostly with somebody together who is able to etch the glass. But there are more possibilities. The new trend is to laser engrave the glass. Almost every motive is possible: Have a look for some examples:

Avalon Interiors It is a custom glass enclosure. We kept is clear to make the space look larger. You dont need frosted glass if there is only one person using the bathroom at a tie which is the case in a small bathroom like this.

Stone Trend Toronto Marble Granite Depot has it too in travertine

butterfly32 You can find these tiles on floridatile.com website. It's the Renaissance Tile...Color Grigio.

Donna Thomas Vintage Chic Furniture if its the second bath in the basement, its fine as long as the main bathroom has a tub

Avalon Interiors If the shower is large with a glassed enclosure it is definitely a selling feature. I would not worry about the tub. Alot of my clients are taking them out anyways and putting in large showers.

Walker Zanger burguera- Also keep in mind that if you are selecting your products at area businesses, they can provide you with reputable contractors that they frequently do business with. For example, if you were to come into Walker Zanger and needed a tile installer, we would provide you with 3 options of contractors that we do business with on a regular basis and let you receive quotes from them and then decide. Most times, when a recommendation is given, the company giving it is not responsible if something does happen, but 99% of the time, if there has been an issue before, they are less likely to recommend them again. So that's one way to know you are getting genuine information.

sharleeg I redid an older home in area of country i didn't live in and didn't know anyone and used all Angie's List contractors and was very, very happy! Good luck!
