Where can I get ideas ...

[Myrina]

6. Thanks for the tips ...

... I was thinking about tiling 1/2 way up, or maybe wainscotting -- this bathroom hasn't been remodeled since the early 1980's - colors are mismatched (the old walk in shower stall is a grungy beige) and the tile grout is about shot - also beige so half of the bathroom looks like it was vomited on - water damage to the surrounding drywall and baseboards ... I'm sure there's a healthy stash of mold back there too ... so its not about 'showing off' to friends/family ... its about finally doing the remodel to suit ME rather than just tolerating the musty skanky bathroom that came with the house I bought 5 years ago & couldn't afford to renovate at the time.

I'm not at all good at DIY but I do have a handyman who quoted me a reasonable price & timeframe if I supply the majority of the materials (obviously he doesn't expect me to know pipe sizes etc) ... I just can't find any deco ideas that really grab me and say "THIS is MY bathroom". I really like the modern stuff but it wouldn't jive with the rest of the house, which is just ... basic ... hardwoods, clean lines, but not super hi-tech gizmos/gadgets etc ...

Make sense?
