Okay y’all. Whereas we haven’t completed the ground plan of this rest room but, we’re getting VERY shut. We’ve narrowed it right down to choice 1 (one shared outhouse with a partition) and choice #2 (two smaller ones with a sink in between or a conceit throughout in entrance of the window). I’ve a robust feeling #2 goes to win out. Regardless, we predict that the stained glass might be selected, which is able to inform our tile colours/designs, which is subsequent on our record. You all had a ton of opinions, which we beloved, and we’ve narrowed it down even additional.
As a reminder, that is doubtless what it’s going to appear like and the place the stained glass might be. Two classic doorways which have cutouts for alllll these completely different squares to be glass. We are going to paint the doorways to match the buildings. We went purchasing for stained glass at Bullseye in Portland, and you’ll see that publish right here. It was so inspiring.
The clear winners of the final publish had been Choices B and D, however soooo lots of you stated you didn’t just like the glass sample flipped and as an alternative needed it mirrored or uniform.
I like each of those, truthfully. So does Brian (though I wasn’t positive he even observed a distinction till I pointed it out).
Possibility E:
Possibility E is choice D, however with metal blue as an alternative of that lighter blue (which was a commenter’s concept that we beloved). We then utilized it each mirrored and uniform. However I truthfully LOVE symmetry far more than I wish to admit (it looks as if the predictable alternative), but it surely calms my chaotic mind a lot. So I used to be shocked that I didn’t consider that and actually appreciated the concept.
It’s such a refined distinction – mirrored or uniform. I’ve been observing these for thus lengthy that I don’t know why I choose one over the opposite, however I do, however I may be improper. Maintain studying.
Listed below are the identical two, however inside the constructing, in case that makes a distinction to your eye.
Possibility F:
Gretch performed round with Possibility B and utilized the adjustments in each mirrored and uniform. As soon as once more, I choose the uniform or equivalent variations. I believe that mild blue catches my eye an excessive amount of and looks like the one factor that strikes (within the mirrored model) whereas it feels extra balanced within the uniform model, regardless that it nonetheless pops.
See what I imply? In “mirrored,” it feels unintended; in uniform, it feels proper and balanced.
Possibility G:
One other model of D, however this time “mirrored” and “uniform”. I nonetheless so love this one.
However once more, It appears to me that they need to match until every thing feels evenly peppered and balanced. The truth that the 2 fundamental squares keep the identical in mirrored however different colours in different bins modified bothers me a bit. Not a ton, however a bit.
Possibility H & I:
OOOOOOOHHHHH. I solidly LOVE each of those. I truthfully don’t suppose I’ve a desire, and I do know that I might design the lavatory tile round each of those (which clearly have a shared shade palette). Which is why I’m going to want assist…
In choice H, it feels extra tonal with much less daring pops. Possibility I has the large pink and the large mild blue, which isn’t a foul factor!! Possibly it’s a greater approach to go?? I’d truthfully be so proud of each of those.
Possibility J: (Might Nix, Dangerous One)
Just a few advised going with fewer colours total and preserving a extra mirrored sample. Right here’s what two of these choices might appear like…
This felt like a missed alternative to maintain the primary panels the identical. It nearly felt like the one that laid it out didn’t notice that they had been two separate frames. This can be a laborious no for me.
MY FAVORITE FOUR:
So I narrowed it right down to my closing 4 – two that look extra random (though they aren’t – these are the unique flipped/diagonal designs), after which two which can be matching.
There’s something I genuinely love about this random playfulness. Your eye simply dances round, and it feels balanced, however unpredictable.
However having the 2 doorways be uniform and equivalent can also be so tempting to me! I totally combined something that was really “mirrored,” however I like these equivalent doorways. The “random” is extra whimsical and playful, the uniform would possibly learn extra basic. I truthfully don’t suppose I’d remorse both.
Please Vote!!!
Y’all, I actually suppose I would simply go along with what you suppose, ought to there be an amazing winner. I like all of them. Clearly, all of them share the identical colours; it’s simply the configuration that’s debatable.
**And no, we haven’t totally selected the structure but, however leaning laborious to simply have two separate outhouses for now. Looks as if attempting to plan for each future state of affairs is likely to be inconceivable, so sacrifices and compromises might be made that take advantage of sense for our lives and present utilization, whereas leaving some flexibility for adjustments. I’ll fill you in additional when I’ve any definitive, I promise 🙂
