There is a reason realtors are not interested much in this property. As much as YOU seem to love it, this is a strange property, and probably won’t bring at market what you think it will.

In our area, we have similar issues with earth homes, geodesic domes, or any other type of residence which varies substantially from ‘conventional’. These types of homes need special buyers who also like the same things you like. Do not expect a quick sale, and do not expect offers at anywhere near full price.

As much as I hate to tell you this, your idea of a ‘dream home’ is YOURS, and not necessarily everyone else’s dream. These are the chances you take when you elect to build a house which is ‘out of the ordinary’.

I have a pretty small bathroom. The floors and shower are tiled beige w/ the same color grout. There’s a decorative border of black glass mosaic tile in the shower. The vanity is oak with a black & beige granite top. Bathtub & toilet are white. Shower curtain is beige. Shower rings are shiny black acrylic squares (matches waste can & tissue cover). Two small bath mats are black. There are no windows. What wall color would best complement this scheme?

Sage or celery green would work or a pale yellow. With no natural light, you need to stay with soft colors.

A man has some marbles which is red, green or blue. He picks one marble out of the bag, looks at its colour keeps it. Then he picks another marble and checks its colour.
The probablity that he picks out two red marbles is 12%
The probablity that he picks out two green marbles is 5%
The probablity that he picks out two blue marbles is 15%
What is the smallest number of blue marbles in the bag?

Two.

The probability that he picks out two blue marbles may be 15%, but it is possible to pick the only two blue marbles out of the bag.

Glass tiles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glass tiles are pieces of glass formed into consistent shapes. Glass was used in mosaics as early as 2500 BC, but it took until the 3rd Century BC before innovative artisans in Greece, Persia and India created glass tiles.

Whereas clay tiles are dated as early as 8,000 BC, there were significant barriers to the development of glass tiles, included the high temperatures required to melt glass, and the complexities of mastering various annealing curves for glass.

In recent years, glass tiles have become a popular field and accent tiles. This trend can be attributed to recent technological breakthroughs, as well as the tiles’ inherent properties, in particular their potential to impart intense color and reflect light, and their imperviousness to water.

Glass in tile introduces complexities to the installer, as glass is more rigid than ceramic or porcelain tile, so glass tiles break more readily under the duress of substrate shifts.

Smalti tile, sometimes referred to as Byzantine glass mosaic tile, are typically opaque glass tiles that were originally developed for use in mosaics created during the time of the Byzantine empire.

Smalti is made by mixing molten glass with metal oxides for color; the result is a cloudy mixture that is poured into flat slabs that are cooled and broken into individual pieces. The molten mixture can also be topped with gold leaf, followed by a thin glass film to protect against tarnishing. During the Byzantine era, Constantinople became the center of the mosaic craft, and the use of gold leaf glass mosaic reached perhaps it greates artistic expression in the former seat of the Orthodox patriarch of Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia.

Traditional smalti tiles are still found today in many European churches and ornamental objects; the method is also used by some present-day artisans. In the 1920, mass production methods were applied to Smalti tile manufacturing, which enabled these tiles to find their way into many middle class homes. Instead of the old method of rolling the colored glass mixture out, cooling and cutting, the new method called for molten liquid to be poured and cooled in trays, usually resulting in 3/4 inch chicklet-type pieces.

Since the 1990’s a variety of modern glass tile technologies, including methods to take used glass and recreate it as ‘green’ tiles, has resulted in a resurgence of interest in glass tile as a floor and wall cladding. It is now commonly used in kitchens, spas and bathrooms. And while smalti tiles are still popular, small and large format glass products are now commonly formed using cast and fused glass methods. The plasticity of these last two methods has resulted in a wide variety of looks and applications, including [floor tiles] FCI Magazine.

It has big glass panels in the sides and I will use it for growing plants ETC.It is a greenhouse to me but my good friend calls it a shed who is right? Is it the Lady from over the water or me?

I never heard of a greenhouse being called a building before. Now will this greenhouse need planning permission and will it put your rateable value up x.

Is there something I can apply to it? It is a high gloss shine right now which I love but it is slippery when wet.

I have chosen this vanity and am looking for a mirror to fit… And need advise!

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11312772&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US

we are puting wainscoting around the guest bath, with 3 x 6 brick looking white tiles for the tub, and marble mosaic on the floor (which I love!). The walls are painted a tan color…. with the wainscoting and this vanity, what color or kind of mirror should I go with?

Thanks!!

The mirror in the picture looks awesome.
