hi debinnh, thanks for the suggestion. I did plan to tile behind the tub up to the window, so that wall will have tile to look like wainscotting. But I am not sure how to do the tile on the wall where the showerhead will go. So for the showerhead area, I was going to do the ""panel"" like the pic above up to the ceiling, but then do I continue tiling all across to the toilet? or how to end it? maybe at the door frame?

DawnP, a darker color on the card was what I was thinking but I was trying to use two different ones in the vanity areas. Sounds silly but I wondered if a green or pink in the vanity areas would make makeup application difficult when they get just a bit older. johnatemp, I would love to wallpaper, maybe a toile to go with the shower curtain but I don't think dh will go for it.

Ms222 Oh my, what a great house on the water. You love modern...really nice table and chairs. If you go all modern and plan on keeping the same kitchen floor plan you will have to replace all the doors top and bottom, eliminate the two short staggered cabinets on top and add cabinets in their place on the same line as the others. Eliminate the upper moldings style and backsplash; the countertop would work fine as is. Eliminate the chair rails and replace all interior doors. I would paint your walls in a flat paint and see how you like it and then decide when or if to eliminate the texture. When I painted my son's textured walls in Behr porpoise gray flat paint we had to touch the walls to even know the texture was there. However, it's hard to see how much texture you have in your pictures and we don't know if there is texture behind the chair rails. Anyway, after all that you'll have a good start on transforming it all to a completely different look. I know it might seem overwhelming but once you get a start on it it will be fun. I almost envy you because I'm a gal who needs projects and mayhem; I'm in limbo now just fixing things up to sell for a future downsize. Not fun! In my next house I'm hoping to do a completely different style. I want to buy the little stinky 60's house across the street from the waterfront mansions. Then I plan on becoming their very bestest friend and ride around in their yacht lol. Jill, please post after you go to the NY store and tell us of the quality. I have never actually touched Lillian August furniture. I really love so many things on the online site though and like the fact that there are a few things in my price range. Of course all the sofa's and chairs I really love are at the highest prices... boo Looking forward to your report!

The ones at Walmart are Faded Glory. Yes, they are fitted. The tag says 100% cotton, and than 100% "something with an "A"( but maybe that's Spanish for cotton? :) This season's, i.e. bought in late summer/early Fall, were all scoop neck. Usually there are some V-necks but I didn't see any this year (2016). I prefer V-necks but got used to the scoop. Plus they sell really fast and don't get restocked as far as I know. That's why I buy at least two of each color. Most if not all I own are faded and shrunk up a bit by now. Just awhile ago I washed them and started to bag them up for Goodwill. However I have a strange relationship with old clothes. I'm always thinking I'll need them to work outside in or "around the house" as you say or they are still too good to give away. So I held back four. lol But I have learned to purge over the years. I bought one each of all five colors of the J.Jill tees.
