The storage it gives us is such a necessity! The half wall gives us more light and shelf space. The paint is Valspar's Signature line, semi-gloss, Oatlands Subtle Taupe. It's a nice neutral color, grey-ish with a bit of green.Diem Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045341089709984062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-6210165681752364002015-05-25T10:28:57.698-07:002015-05-25T10:28:57.698-07:00SO glad I found your post!

I luv what you've done to transform and beautify -- especially with the tub & tiles, flooring, ½ walls, and color scheme! And speaking of color ... what shade of grey(?) did you paint the walls?!?!?! Thanks for sharing your project ideas and results (**proof that there IS hope for little spaces!)

We've had about 3-4 clogs, but it was easily removed.

Because we bought the wrong base cabinet for that particular sink we had to drill our own holes for the brackets. We also added a wall brace, wood beam behind sink, to make it a little more sturdy. All this weight is put on a floating cabinet, meaning no floor/feet support, so we wanted to make sure nothing will fall off the wall! <br /><br />If you lose a part you can get them from Ikea, unfortunately you'll need to know the product name or number and you have to go to the Ikea in person. Their customer service sucks big time and the website is no help. You might be able to make that bracket out of a plain "L" bracket and some expansion bolts?<br /><br />Good luck!Diem Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045341089709984062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-34752623872209723892013-03-30T12:49:23.265-07:002013-03-30T12:49:23.265-07:00Your bathroom came out awesome! one question: what...Your bathroom came out awesome! one question: what are the sink brackets called and where did u find them?

I just assumed that all Ikea stuff was designed to fit together, but when we installed the base we realized it was too big for the sink. My husband was NOT going to take the hour drive back to Ikea for another sink... so we just make it work. I'm very happy with the result too. The Godmorgon sink is much nicer and sleeker looking. It's also the best in terms of storage.Diem Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045341089709984062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-50171072285093447422012-08-23T06:20:39.873-07:002012-08-23T06:20:39.873-07:00I'm so glad I found this post.
