If it wasn't for people with design degrees my job would get really boring. I can only sell so much cheap beige carpet. |

BTW, here's the bathroom my wife is using as inspiration. I'll not comment on the choice of fecal brown as a wall color...okay, maybe I will.
http://chicago.apartmenttherapy.com/...rn-bath-013538 I actually love the clean lines of the bathroom and like it as inspiration. Just not sold on the brown. |

Brown is a really hot color right now. We're using a lot of chocolates and oranges in our place. I like it.

Thats a cool bathroom. Im not keen on dark colors. Also the cabinet space for that sink sucks. I think that sink is way too overated for practical purposes. But the bathroom does look cool overall. |

Painting over that to hide the color would be a bitch. |

Oops, I just forgot... She had me paint our accent wall in the master bedroom a very dark green. I hated it. She hated it. I think we're gonna go over it with chocolate. |

I get the idea. Straight lines and uncluttered, it's a cool look.
Dial that brown down to taupe and you probably get the same effect without being trendy. Metroflor has done a great job creating retro/industrial/modern/loft type looks. I'd bet you'll find something there that you'll both prefer to VCT. Problem with VCT is that you won't update your home. The looks today are basically the same as the looks in 1965. |

I have a feeling that I will be too in 3 weeks. As stated earlier, the lady in the house now is a heavy smoker. I am thinking it will take a good coat of primer before we paint to kill the nicotine/smoke smell bleed-through. I hate that runny stuff too. (I'm giving serious thought to taping and spraying). |

I'd open every window in that sucker and let it air out for a few days as well. |
