Pls help, mosaic doesn't match with wall tiles, how can I salvage this
Comments (13)Hi Rubypumps. Unfortunately you have made the common mistake of mixing undertones. I see this a lot as a colour consultant. Mistakes with your hard finishes are the worst kind because they are very costly to change. Right now your walls have a pink undertone and your walls behind the tub and counter are clearly blue grey. Since blue is complementary to pink, it brings out the pink in the tile even more and the clean blue makes the tile look dirty. It may be hard for you to see this, but this is what's happening and this is probably why you don't like your bathroom. Since you chose such a busy mosaic, it has become the boss (and focal point) of the room and I would now keep your other finishes as simple as possible. If you can, down the road, change the beige tile. Because unfortunately, there is no magic colour combination that will make it disappear. Working with what you have, I would most likely go with a more neutral cabinet like Uniboard G21 Viva Walnut. It will help warm up the space. Black is too stark for this bathroom....See MoreTheir Stories Behind Our Story - before and after!
Comments (2)Constance and the Creative Mind Design team, you've done an amazing job in restoring a heritage house, and shining a light on a precious family story! The original house is clearly well built for the environment: large overhanging roof, windows tucked neatly under. Love the rusticated exterior and the big arches in the porte cochere too. Haunted only to those who don't know the story! I also love that the original house has been updated to serve the needs of the current, without forgetting the past. Those pink mosaic tiles and wrought iron grilles fit in very nicely in the new house. The airwell seems to bridge the new and old worlds perfectly too....See MoreAre homeowners responsible for maintenance?
Comments (2)From the picture its is rather evident that there is a moisture issue from unit above. You can try and patching up on your side a little. I can see from the picture also that there has been a patching job in the past as well. Seems to be a water sea page problem from unit above. This is usually caused by tiling the floor without proper water proofing or can also result over time from grouting coming loose and water seaping in slowly through cracks. This is a common problem with older apartments. My advice is to take a gift to your neighbour upstairs and approach the problem as constructively as possible and hopefully your upstairs neighbour will take responsibility and fix the problem. Most effective way to fix it is to attend to the water proofing or 'lack of' from unit above. Whatever little patch job you decide to do from your unit below, will only be temporary and often pushes the water elsewhere. Hope this helps?...See MoreTell us about a kiasu moment in your life!
