    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 ♥️

    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 :)

    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.
