Marble poultice
posted by: jaedwards on 05.01.2008 at 02:03 am in Kitchens Forum I'm trying to get a stain out of my 50+ year old marble window sill. I know I saw the recipe here a while ago and I did a search, but can't find it. Did anyone save it? I did try letting corn starch sit on it overnight. It is polished carrara if it matters. Thanks!

Pictures of completed bathroom
posted by: dedtired on 08.30.2010 at 04:52 pm in Bathrooms Forum Hi. I took some pictures of my new bathroom. It's still missing accessories (& a TP holder!) so it looks a bit bare.
Here are the details for those who may be interested: Tub: Kohler Expanse (I adore this)
There were a few glitches along the way, but not many and I am very pleased with the result. Tub / Shower area:
Close up of niche and subways:
Vanity area with glass shelves to the right:
Detail of backsplash and Kelston faucets:
Kohler Ladena sink
Switches and dials! Thermostat for floor
Floor and my toes (I'm Not a Waitress by OPI):
If I can give you any more info, just ask. I got plenty of help by reading this forum. Thanks for looking! NOTES: <none>

Cleaning oven door between glass
posted by: SouthboundTrain on 09.17.2004 at 11:00 pm in Cleaning Tips Forum Help, please. I have a standard GE oven and somehow dark streaks of something have gotten inside the oven door, it looks like it's sort of between glass panels. Nothing in the oven directions speak to this. Has anyone else had this problem? It looks like I can unbolt the inside glass panel but I'm concerned about the insulation looking strip. Any advice would be most welcome. Oh, the self cleaning cycle has no affect. Thanks.

RE: Is Kerdi needed? (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: shaughnn on 09.20.2010 at 01:04 am in Bathrooms Forum Some form of vapor barrier Is needed. Kerdi is only one brand, albeit a good one. Bare bones would require a 6mil sheet of plastic, fastened to the studs, before the cement board is installed. That's enough to keep moisture out of the wall cavities as long as there aren't any odd angles like from recessed niches, benches or knee walls. Another alternative is to install the cement board without the plastic sheet and instead roll a paint-like membrane onto the surface. This liquid-applied membrane method works well for niches, benches and attached tubs but requires some downtime to allow the 2 (two) coats of membrane to cure properly. Another system is a "sheet membrane" which is fixed to the cement board's surface without plastic sheeting underneath. Kerdi is just one of several sheet membranes which can be used.
These are examples of cement board installations. There are many other ways to build a shower though this is the least expensive method, regarding materials AND labor. Shaughnn NOTES: <none>

Bathroom Remodel Complete (w/Photo) - Thank You
posted by: catherineri on 01.30.2011 at 11:26 am in Bathrooms Forum Over the past year we have planned, changed our minds a dozen times, and finally finished the bathroom renovation / expansion about a month ago (not a DIY project). The reason for the project was to gain a bathtub since there was no tub in the house, and to upgrade a hodgepodge of mismatched and deteriorating items. This forum was very helpful for many items and issues, like the air tub, fan, light switches and for putting to rest the anxiety of using marble in the first place. Thanks to all who took the time to share their valuable experiences and knowledge. This is a much better bathroom for it.
Here is a before and after pair: Before:
After:
Here is a list of the products used:
Once again ... thank you for all your suggestions, etc. --Catherine NOTES: <none>

A Question About Niches
posted by: doggiemom on 04.05.2011 at 01:54 pm in Bathrooms Forum Are you or did you design more than one niche for your shower? Did you design a specific niche for soap and would you change your niche dimensions if you had to do it over again? My niche wall will be 7 feet high by 3 feet whide so I have a lot of flexibility on what size and shape to make my niche(s). I'm trying to decide if I want to have one super tall niche with 2 or 3 shelves or to do maybe 2 wide niches like maybe 2.5 feet wide by 15 inches high.
Would also love to see pics of any unique niches especially if you love them. Here are couple of examples of some interesting niches: TIA!

Outlet and cover in the island: What color?
posted by: hungryheart on 02.24.2011 at 08:37 pm in Kitchens Forum I'm trying to figure out what to do about the outlet in my island which will be quite visible. My cabinets are cherry pecan and all of my outlets/switches are white. My first inclination was to put a brown outlet and cover into the island to try to blend it in with the wood, though of course it won't really blend. Then I thought that perhaps I should do a black outlet and a stainless steel cover. Or should it just be white to match the others? Now I'm thinking that I'm just really obsessing! Thoughts?

RE: Herringbone backsplash ideas (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: bill_vincent on 01.20.2010 at 07:13 pm in Kitchens Forum I still would like to somehow incorporate some tantrum crushed glass somehow, either by liners or some tiles worked into the actual herringbone pattern. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your time
This is easy. Do a row of subway tiles laid straight across at the counter. Do a row of glass, and then take a measurement. Whatever that measurement is, draw a line that far down from your upper cabinets. Do your herringbone between what you've got so far, and that line, and then reverse it-- a row of glass, and then the straight row of subway tile. No problem! :-) Then the straight rows would set off the herringbone, and vice versa. NOTES: <none>
