This looks so pretty! Could you give us an update in like 6 months about how the tile held up? I would like to try doing something like this on my bathroom, but I'm worried about the water going through the edges and causing issues later.

@YodiRoberts 4 года назад

do you shower inside or outside your shower/tub? Water on the floor? why?

@mckennamjohnson 4 года назад

YR sometimes water escapes the curtain lol, i’m sure that’s what she is worried about.

@annaeeee7516 4 года назад

@@YodiRoberts no of course not 😂😂 but water sometimes escapes and in the long run that could cause some issues.

I was wondering the same thing. Not just water but steam.

Oh ok I understand now! Duh!

@rachelyamada2794 4 года назад

Love how the tiles pulls together all the other black details in the bathroom, looks adorable! Just wish you had put some of it on the baseboard as well, to cover the rest of the terracota tiles. But amazing transformation nonetheless ♥️

@jemma50 4 года назад

Rachel Yamada, I was thinking the same thing about covering the tiles up the wall.

@miccixcore 4 года назад

Or paint them white to match the molding on the other wall.

@molly_lf 4 года назад

I think she didn't anything because she didn't hate them 100%, so she like a little reminder, maybe? Since there is the dark wood shelf I think it doesn't disturb so much

@laurrdawg 4 года назад

Eek! Floor tiles going up the wall is a pretty outdated decor trend. I think using a white tile paint would look great, though!

@sadie8165 2 года назад

I’ve been watching Alexandra for a while now and remember when this came out. Now I’m buying a condo! And am going back through her videos for reminders on how she did her projects. It’s so wild coming from a Serena and Joe makeover to baby AG in the treehouse! So proud of how far we’ve both come! ❤

@tuffywuff 4 года назад

I just did my small bathroom floor last week. I used 12 x12 inch peel and stick tiles from Amazon. They look beautiful! I caulked all around the perimeter and it looks so nice! I wish I could add a picture here,, for you to see.

Tag her in Instagram if you have it , she will share it. I see other people doing it all the time 😊

@marlenek3412 4 года назад

@christi6934 10 месяцев назад

@tuffywuff how did the peel and stick tiles hold up? I'm moving soon and am thinking about trying the same thing. It's rental though so am worried about damage. Or worried it will wear down quickly and not look good anymore

@CanalMariLand 9 месяцев назад

@@christi6934even Alexandras, if you watch her videos, she mentioned that the tiles hold up pretty well.

@tammy4him42 4 года назад

Looks great! Maybe you could paint the tile that goes up on the wall just a few inches with the baseboard color, it would mimic the other baseboard.

@cerwelt 4 года назад

Looks good. Does it bother you to have the tiles show going up the wall? Can you cover those as well? Did you caulk?

@catarinatcrc 4 года назад

Yes!! I was going to comment on that, my ocd would go nuts 🤣

@madeliefhelena 4 года назад

I have the same kind of tiles and used a special warm water resistent paint to make them white (wall is white too). I would hate it too to keep it in that color.

Oh my goodness. It is so you. The whole room comes together and looks so good

@chrisvolkoff5819 4 года назад

All I can say is WOW! The difference the flooring makes in the before and after picture is so much more than I expected! WOW! You have to smile when you go in there!

@leilareyes7437 4 года назад

Alexandra, take a look at a “ticking stick”. You could use this to pre cut anything with a strange shape like a toilet!

@kathleenannmodina-angue4540 3 года назад

I just looked it up because of what you said, and WOW what a great tip. Thank you!

@alexh1642 4 года назад

I'm just not sold on these peel and stick tiles :( you can see the tile through the paper, wouldn't it feel like stepping on plastic?, it looks difficult to install perfectly, I'm not sure how durable it would be over time, and then you also have water and mold to worry about as it's for the bathroom. I love the design she chose but yeah I'm just not convinced this would be a good product.

@hodgepodgedesign 4 года назад

My same thoughts . Isn’t this just contact paper?

@LittleVintageCottage 4 года назад

I put some in my bathroom about 4 years ago and they are holding up perfectly.

@LittleVintageCottage 4 года назад

@badgerinabluedress4866 4 года назад

also, it looks really slippery.

@bluefox99887 4 года назад

There's a brand called Floor Pops who make peel and stick vinyl floor tiles that actually feel like linoleum (I've seen them in-person at the hardware store). They'd probably be more durable than the wallpaper-style flooring Alexandra used.

@sashac7002 4 года назад

Can I say, I love seeing the new flowers in the vase behind you. It's such a sweet touch.

The floor really makes the whole thing POP! Wow, what a difference! It looked super cute before in part one, but with the new floor it just sparkles ✨ 💫 🌟

@Richard-oc3vt 4 года назад

The flooring idea is 👍, it being waterproof is brilliant but the design choice 🤔 , anyhow waiting for the next update of this series !

@annaryan4803 4 года назад

To discern the difference: Linoleum is made from linseed oil which stinks. Yulk! So when it is cut or torn you smell linseed oil. Vinyl flooring doesn't stink when you cut it or tear it.

@elsieglue1328 4 года назад

But linoleum is sustainable, it is not plastic. Vinyl is plastic.

@hannahcrumley3103 4 года назад

That’s a good tip to know- I didn’t know that linoleum had that smell. I actually have a linoleum kitchen floor that is 40 years old. The pattern goes all the way through so you can’t see scratches. I have wanted to change it since I bought the house 20 years ago but other renovations took priority, and still that floor has lasted! I wish the new floor coverings were made as well!

@jackiedecoma4637 4 года назад

I have to admit I wasn't sure about your choice of flooring as I thought it would be too busy or wouldn't look good but I was wrong; it looks great and I love it!

@amyprusa5086 4 года назад

Your summer freckles are looking so cute! Also love how you are finding little ways to improve your home during quarantine! It is inspiring me to do the same

@deborahtorres6783 4 года назад

I read all the negative comments, and I also was dubious, but it looks so good I would give it a try - especially in a rental. I don't mind seeing the layer of old tiles showing through....it looks so much better than the dirty old tile. Perhaps ask DIY Danie to cut some custom white baseboard to cover the terracotta baseboard tiles. A visually stunning transformation...and you can just remove it when you move someday.

@gingerprice9221 4 года назад

It's so fun to watch your design evolution. I've been a fan since you started this channel and loved (and still do!) your first transformations, but it's fun to see your style change. I love this entire bathroom makeover: the long shelf is a vision, that painted wall makes the room feel more substantial (at least how it translates to video; hopefully that's not mischaracterizing what it's like in person), and the pattern on the flooring is very beautiful and fun without feeling overly trendy to me. I'm happy to hear you left the terracotta underneath rather than paint over; it's so much more versatile for future renters :)

@r_27P 4 года назад

@kiki29073 4 года назад

There is a tool I saw ads for on YT all the time that makes patterns easily for around Any shape like your toilet. I bought for my husband because he us a pro cintractor. I used to work with him but can't anylonger because of health. He laughed when he saw it. I finally talkrd him into trying it and now he uses it all the time. It is the most versatile tool ever.

@MsSneaky0815 4 года назад

I loooove it. The floor really makes the pink pop. It looks awesome!! I have recently painted my bedroom a similar pink and was thinking about spray painting the black frame of my vanity mirror. But luckily I reconsidered and painted all the accessories black. It gives the pink a grown up sophisticated touch... btw: since there is no homesense near me I will try and diy the hanging planter. It's so pretty!!

@mrhschick 4 года назад

For the side tiles that you didn't want to cover, you can paint them white using just basic acrylic paint, just add a couple drops of dish soap into the paint and when you want to take it off all you need is hot water and a scrubbing sponge. That's how people paint windows for businesses and since you won't be walking on it the paint would hold up.

Ugh, I so want to do this for my horrible bathroom floors! Only two problems: first, my only mop is a steam mop and I'm sure that will ruin the adhesive (and we do not have space for another mop). And second, my bathroom is so small that two of us will not fit in there with the door closed. So I'd have to do this alone. 😂
