That's right. We are creating a bathroom. We chose the basement because it the least expensive place to add livable square footage. Originally, I wanted to create a "rustic" bathroom while we gut and remodel our main floor bathroom. But, the risk of never returning to complete the temporary bathroom is high. Depending on the cost of creating the bathroom, we may also finish the laundry area. So, we'd have a 1/4 of a finished basement!
There are so many decisions to be made. Because the basement feels about 20 degrees colder than the rest of the house (Scott says the official temp reading is 61°), we plan on using in-floor heating below tile. Tile is harder to pick than I thought! I am going for a clean, bright, fun look since it is in the basement. I was thinking of a white and yellow checker look.
I ordered two 12" sample tiles - one mustard and one biscuit. I put them up against the light yellow paint and white baseboard in the main floor bedroom and now I am not sure I like the look. Of course it is hard to get a full understanding of the look because I need more tiles to create the checkered look.
Ugh. I may be back to square one. Any ideas?
