Please help with this powder room

vor 8 Jahren

I need some help with this powder room please. When we moved in a few months ago the tiles on the wall were pink. My husband used the paint sprayer to paint over them with white and now they have a weird texture to them.

I just do not like this room at all and id love to redo the whole thing. We already have another sink and vanity to replace this current one.

I'm leaning towards a beachy theme - subtle- not over the top.

How hard is it to remove all those tiles from the walls? And then what should we do to the walls? Would putting up some of those thin wall panels on top of the drywall work and then painting over it?

We already did the floors in here, just white tile but I would love to put some sort of crown moulding in as well.

Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

If you are going to replace the tile on the wall I find it much easier and faster to cut the drywall just above the tile and remove the entire wall down to the studs and then install a new sheet of drywall or cement board if you are going to install a new tile. If you try to just remove the tile, you will have much more work trying to clean up the wall from the tile residue that will be left behind. If the wall is a lathe and plaster wall, then you may find it easier to just remove the tile. You will want to remove the vanity and toilet to make the job go easier.

The tiles will need to be chipped off and then yes, some wainscoting over the top with a chair rail, plus a different light fixture would really help.

When were the tiles installed? Tiles from the 60's contain lead, please be careful.

Wer so lieb fragt... Eigentlich bin ich ja eher ein Freund klarer, nicht zu vollgestopfter Räume und hätte spontan gedacht, dass man das quergestellte Bett durchaus tagsüber zum Sofa umfunktionieren kann, um dem Raum etwas Luft zu lassen. Nachdem ich jedoch die Fotos aus der Serie gesehen habe, kommt nun doch ein ganz anderer Vorschlag: Die Zeichnung erklärt sich selbst, denke ich - links der Tür das Hochbett, unter dem eine Kommode und ein vielleicht seltener benutzter Kleiderschrank mit Kleiderstange Platz finden. Die Schubladen der Kommode und die zugehörigen Griffe würde ich vielleicht auf Antik- oder Flohmärkten zusammensuchen oder zumindest wie einen alten Schrank gestalten, da sie ja gleichzeitig das Entree zum Raum bilden. Neben der Tür bleibt Platz für einen schmalen Spiegel mit kleiner Ablage für Telefon und Portemonnaie, natürlich aus den 60ern. Das Bett oben dient als Rückzugsort, seitlich ist genügend Ablagefläche für Laptop, Leuchte, Bücher, Getränke und so fort, dort würde ich Steckdosen installieren. Gegenüber an der rechten Wand ist der TV-Apparat so weit oben angebracht, dass man vom Bett aus bequem fernsehen kann. Die rechte Wand wird als Stauraum genutzt, mit einer Aussparung für den Schreibtisch. An der Abkofferung könnte man einen LED-SChriftzug über die gesamte Wandbreite anbringen, der für angenehmes Hintergrundlicht und das richtige Ambiente sorgt. Eine schlanke 60er-Jahre Couch mit Fußteil passt an die Betthaupt-Wand, darüber und daneben ist Platz für die Musik. Wichtigste Anschaffung neben der Regalwand meiner Auffassung nach: Ein dicker, fetter, lederner Schreibtischsessel auf Rollen, der bei Bedarf auch als Besuchersessel genutzt wird und auch von hinten schön aussieht. Und die kleine Couch natürlich. Langfristig wäre ein gediegenerer Schreibtisch oder alternativ eine zum Regalsystem gehörige und dort direkt integrierte Schreibtischplatte schön. Damit die Regalwand nicht zu chaotisch wirkt, wären einige geschlossene Fächer und etwas Ordnung im offenen Bereich hilfreich. Das Bett ist ein Eigenbauprojekt, hier müsste man sich etwas Schönes ausdenken, um den gewünschten Industrie-Sixties-Shabby-Luxus-Look zu erzeugen. Ich bin gespannt auf weitere Ideen und wünsche viel Erfolg bei der Umsetzung.

Unique kitchen layout

Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen. Cheers, TH

Hello Heidrun, (I will write in English since it is my native language - so I hope it translates well for you 😊) I love the comments from the community so far about incorporating textiles - so many valid points about sound absorption! Have you considered a machine-washable area rug? Due to the practicality, this can be an excellent option for having little ones in the house without sacrificing colour. I recommend a light area rug for the living room to break up the visual weight of the dark floors. To add some personality to the space, I recommend considering furnishings that bring in colour - specifically in sage or blue tones. If, for instance, your sofa or dining chairs are sage or blue, your eyes would be drawn to the pop of colour instead of the dark floors. The walls would instantly feel less bare and act more as a complementary backdrop to the furnishings whilst keeping the space feeling open and airy. Your silver-grey USM shelving would also fit very well with coloured furnishings because it would stand out instead of blending in. For lighting 💡- don't be afraid to add a statement flush-mount lighting fixture in the living room to complete the space. Choosing a light fixture that softly directs light up toward the ceiling will add a warm and spacious feel to the room. And lastly: Consider adding colour to the kitchen to make it feel more warm and inviting. Some budget-friendly options would be to add a backsplash or paint the walls in the kitchen, which would help define this space and bring in personality. Another idea to consider is to paint the kitchen cabinetry. Adding in some form of colour in the kitchen will help bring in the warmth you are missing and develop a sense of dimension so that it doesn't look so "flat". Best of luck and please feel free to write me if you have any questions! Amanda Madu Interiors

I'm not sure when the tiles were installed. They had a very 70's/80's look to them before we painted over them. Possibly could be from the 60's but were pink tiles popular then? If they do contain lead, what is the best way to remove them?
charleee
vor 8 Jahren
If they contain lead you do not remove them yourselves, you need to call a hazmat company to do it for you. Lead is a poison. You might try calling a company like Miracle Method that can come and coat the tiles for you in whatever color you choose.

Lead is usually only in low fire glazes and most USA made commercial tiles are fire too high for lead based glazes. It more of a problem for ceramics for serving food. I would just wear a dust mask and wash hand before eating.
Why chip it out when you could bead board right over it if you want a wainscoting? For such a small space I would chip off tile, retexture the whole wall and repaint a solid light color. trying to match the sand color of counter could get tricky, so find a water or sky color you like.

We took tile down in 2 bathrooms from 60's lead not a problem. But the wallboard/sheetrock )or whatever you call it) gets damaged even with care, so you may need to replace walls.

Agree with Dan! We removed backsplash tile from behind our fridge in the kitchen and after painstakingly removing each tile, we ended up ripping out the entire sheet of drywall due to holes and damage. It would have been easier from the beginning to simply remove the entire piece of drywall and replace it.

Zyas, we just recently worked on a space very similar to yours. It was a small powder room similar in color. We did add some beautiful wainscoting to the space which you can do as well. If you are going to remove the tile, I also agree with Dan it will be a lot more work for you later by just removing the tile. I have attached a photo of our recently finished powder room for some inspiration.

yes cut it out re drywall the whole lower space. the whole wall behind the sink and toilet actually, so you can move the power source for the light fixture. but keep the cool med. cab. is this just powder?

that old vanity/ medicide cabinet, is what people die for these days its a total keeper. just move the light source out if you can and re wood around it. love that little drawer.

also lower the other plug and power once you are in there and think about some floating shelves over the toilet.

Hi Zyas: I removed tile from a kitchen backsplash a few years ago and it truly made a mess of the sheetrock. I agree with previous comments about either just cutting it out or wainscotting over top - I tried to just spackle/patch the damage but then ended up just cutting it out. Re the bathroom, my recent reno on our main floor bathroom is along the same theme you're looking for. We used textured paintable wallpaper (looks like grasscloth) from the ceiling down to 36" off the floor (painted a very pale turquoise blue), installed wainscot on the lower half of the walls painted fresh white, and topped the wainscot with a row of 4" tumbled slate border tile in shades of brown, grey and taupe. We completed the look with brushed nickel accessories and a custom window blind with 2" slats that are the colour of faded driftwood. The result was exactly the beachy feel we were looking for. Using wallpaper in a steamy bathroom was my only concern, but has been on for 2 years now and is standing up well, seams aren't peeling. When it's time to reno again, the tiles will just peel off with the wallpaper with no damage to the sheetrock below when I'm ready for my next "look". I did this for about $500.

recently had beadboard put directly on top of a pinky taupe tile as well. painted white and it looks a thousand times better. no mess and easily done.

Add me to the group who suggests going right over it with beadboard. You will need to find a bit heavier molding to make the transition but it can be done. Ply cap molding works for this purpose.

I think the part of the problem is how high the tile goes in that tiny bath and up around the mirror like that. If you want a clean bead board look like H2H, you should remove everything and get new drywall and lower bead board. Unless you want beautiful tile for the look, you really don't need it in a powder room. I'd do just like H2H. It'll look brand new.

This is a powder room I've just finished. There is no window in the room so we kept it atmospheric with the dark wallpaper and added a bit of glam with the light fixture and panelling. We also used panelling to include a mirror that reaches the ceiling. We did remove wall tiles that were originally were the panelling is now. It is a small area but we are very happy the way it turned out.

We didn't like the tile in our bathroom and we googled if it was possible to glue and grout tile over existing tile. We did, and it looks great. It saved us such a mess of ripping old tile and Sheetrock out.

Here's a picture of my powder room with a shelf I picked up at a vintage shop at the beach and painted white. It's simply fence pickets and 5 narrow shelves. I've put some shells and other beachy things on it. We used pink as an accent since the floor is red travertine tiles we got for a bargain at Home Depot (our red travertine is actually pink.) Think they were $2 each. Good luck with your project.

Hi Zyas,

Congrats on redoing your bathroom! It can be a daunting task but it will most definitely be worth it. Powder rooms can be tricky due to the lack of space.

I can't see the pic for some reason, but I saw something on tv you might consider. If you can't afford to have the pros come in and remove the tiles...since you don't know if they are lead or not. I wouldn't be able too. Just go over the top of the tiles with bead board or whatever you like. I'd use construction adhesive to attach to the tiles and put trim on top. They did this on the show. It looked great!

Tiles made in America DO NOT contain asbestos. The thin set or mastik may but in very , very small amounts. Those tile are not hand made or clay so you are probably safe.

Omg. Why is everyone focused on the tiles. They are the best part of this room - the only aspect worth keeping. Add a lovely stand alone tub (claw foot if you have the room) and a cool vanity (pottery barn Parisian style is nice) and you will have transformed this room into a wonderful bathroom. Get ride of the horrible medicine cabinet, vanity and mediocre toilet and upgrade these items. Then add beautiful items. Then you have a nice powder room. The tile is fine.

I agree that beadboard would be the easiest replacement for the tiles. That's what I have in my guestroom bath, as you can see in the photo. What jumps out at me from your picture is not the tiles but the vanity, which is cheap-looking and can easily be replaced. I recommend Restoration Hardware or Ikea. A good toilet (I just re-did this bathroom and added the Toto) is well worth the money.

What I'm concerned with it covering the tile around the medicine cabinet. Should we just do floor to ceiling paneling?

If the tile was installed in the 60's it may have been done in the old and best way using metal lath and grout. You can usually tell if this is the case because the tile will stick out from the face of the wall about 3/4" to 1". Removing tile installed using this method can be a back-breaker. If the lath is attached to the studs there is no way to remove the tile without a chisel and pry bar. Wear safety googles and gloves and good luck!

Nlsf-everyone was focusing on the tile because the OP said she hates it. It was pink and her husband spray painted it white and it now has a weird texture. Everyone was trying to give suggestions for an easy way to cover it without ripping it down to studs. There's no sense putting money into fixtures, etc. if the tile doesn't suit the homeowner's needs or taste.

Zyas-It looks to me as though there were just a few tiles put around the built in medicine cabinet. Those shouldn't be too hard to remove and replace. It's hard to tell from the picture, but if that's the case, just some joint compound sanded down should cover any imperfections caused by removing the tiles. If that's not the case, let us know and I'm sure we can come up with something!

Dan's Home Improvement has the best way to handle it, provided there is no asbestos concern manipulating the drywall. A likely scenario if lead is the worry.
wainscotting and panel overlay is a great idea. leave the hazard intact and veneer the veneer.

When you veneer the veneer is there a problem with the toilet hookups? and the clearance for the sinks? Seems like you would need extra extensions to clear it.

Renovation is all about change. Challenges are part of the deal no matter the path chosen. As result, there are solutions to everything. To arrive at solutions that work best for any budget, one has to do the research along with truly qualified trades, who must also be researched before using or following any of their advice. Be certain costs will always become what they have to become, be it a project done right being more than our original idea, or one that goes wrong and needs to be readdressed. The later is more costly in the end.
Shop well. Make your remodel a good one.

When I remodeled my master bath, the handy man carefully cut out the drywall, tiles and all. So the tiles and the drywall came off in one, neat tidy sheet. Then it was really easy to put up a new piece of drywall, tape/mud, and retile. SO much better than trying to chip off the old tiles without damaging the drywall underneath. It Also gives you a chance to put up one of the modern, water resistant drywall products. Do what the pros do!

I know that's an antique med cabinet and you may not want to remove it. However it looks too high, small, almost awkward. Perhaps if you can sell it if it comes our in one piece.
