What is not flush with the tile???

The tiles are 120cm (47 inches) wide, just like the shower – on both sides, the LED strips in the corners for shower lighting are still missing, as mentioned, as well as in the niche.

I also think the handheld showerhead is a bit too close to the edge – but only from an aesthetic point of view. When showering, it is actually very practical because it’s never in the way. But visually, I initially criticized it. The installer did it deliberately, and in hindsight, I have to agree with him.

We requested the stool exactly like this. Not too large, so we don’t lose space, but big enough to sit on. And we didn’t want a sharp corner in the area where you stand while showering, to avoid bumping into it, hence the slope. And it is very practical as it is. My only criticism in retrospect: the rain shower is centered in the shower – with the stool, I would probably have aligned it more in the middle between the stool and the right wall. But as the stool’s position was not finalized during the shell construction, this was unavoidable, and when showering, it is not a drawback that the shower is visually a bit too far to the left.

The recess: how would you have stored shower gel etc.? I would even make the recess a bit bigger now…

We like the anthracite color. We would have preferred slate, but as a natural stone, it would have required too much maintenance. The tiles are not completely uniform but somewhat varied, just like natural stone. As I said, we like it. The electric radiator, which is yet to be installed, will also be anthracite.

It’s actually great that the tiles around the bathtub are dark and not white. Because the double casement window lets in a lot of sunlight – with white tiles, it would probably be glaringly bright.

The top edge is not flush; the (drywall?) wall at the top is no longer a full tile height, which you can also clearly see in the picture from the sink in post #6521. There, the wall is flush with the mirror but not with the shower tiles. Is the light fixture at the same height as the tiles? Or was the mirror height limited?

I can understand the angled stool, but for my broad backside, I would still have made it bigger.

And the niche... I’m not sure. Would it look better extending the full height at the width of the stool? Or maybe inside the wall on the left? Or recessed and painted a different color? I can’t say for sure...

In the end, it’s all about what you like, and I’m saying the house is great. For me, I would have just planned the bathroom differently. And the couch.

Our only sink at the beginning was the one in the guest bathroom – and that only because my husband installed it (we simply liked the IKEA sink best – also for the value). Otherwise, we would have kept using the outdoor tap in front of the door…

This was our lifesaver:

Very pretty! What exterior color is planned?

Ah:

…although I can’t really picture this description, and if anything, I’d imagine something quite unusual *lol*, but I’m sure it will work out. Now it sounds like coffee blend with sea buckthorn juice



NERD!!!!


Also, I wanted to throw something into the pantry yes-or-no debate.
We have a pantry – no question for me.

If you remember: hidden behind a kitchen cupboard door, it leads directly from the kitchen into the pantry:

And honestly, all the stuff I stored there, I wouldn’t want to put into drawers or cabinets.

And the freezer cabinet is also conveniently within reach (which saves me from needing a freezer compartment in the refrigerator, keeping it bigger).

Also, our lighting technician was here again yesterday. Now we have our outdoor lights on the balcony too:

The small dark boxes on the right and left of the large window are up-and-down wall lights with individually adjustable angles. We would install more if we had power there *grmpf*
Our electrician is coming again today to just turn on power everywhere. If he’s concerned about safety, then all cables should be protected with terminal blocks.
The balcony railing won’t stay like this – solar panels will be installed on the front, surrounded by our façade cladding. I also don’t find the inside of the railing very attractive; we’ll see if I come up with something else.
The open side of the balcony will be extended to the property line and will turn the corner into the terrace on the left. But that’s still a future project. Since there’s still construction behind the house and masonry work needed, the balcony will stay as it is for now. We still need to drive construction equipment back there, so it makes no sense to continue building now. For now, the balcony’s main purpose is to provide a place to install the solar panels.

And in the main bathroom, we finally have our main light!!!

As you can see: it works! Hip-hip-hooray!
It was a good choice – the upward light really illuminates the roof peak nicely and creates great lighting.

This week, the electric towel warmer for the bathroom is supposed to arrive, and the towel holders for the shower towels will be attached there; then we can finally hang them up instead of draping them over the shower partition and bathtub edge.

And here’s a picture of my two cats who moved with us, in their current main hangout, our bedroom:

At least not UNDER the bed! But it was pretty quiet in the house yesterday, only the lighting guy was here in the morning. That was rather relaxing for them.

The pantry was planned perfectly … and the rest was done with lots of love!!

The top edge isn’t flush,

Well, when the drywall was done, we hadn’t decided which tiles to use yet – so the shower wall was set at 220cm (86.6 inches). Then we chose the wall tiles, which are 40cm (15.7 inches) high. That’s why the last tile is only half-sized. The other option would have been to use a half tile at the bottom, but then that pattern would have continued throughout the whole bathroom, not just on the shower wall. So this is the better solution. Honestly, I don’t find it bothersome at all.

well, primarily I would say it’s orange, but it leans a bit towards brown-beige and is rather pale, so not a bright, vivid orange

I am looking forward to it!
