Bathroom #1

This bathroom had a number of issues we were aware of at purchase, and some we discovered after purchase.  Nothing time and patience couldn't fix.  This bathroom went from beastly to beautiful.

Bathroom (9' x 6')

 BEFORE
AFTER
 12" porcelain tile floor, 5" floor baseboards, new walls, new toilet... NEW EVERYTHING!



BEFORE~
The double sinks were faux blue marble, with this space not having adequate storage for towels and toiletries.




Fixtures on both sinks are outdated, leaking and corroded. 


AFTER~
For the sake of much needed storage, we chose to eliminate one of the sinks and add a linen closet.

WOW... it's so much nicer to wash up and brush teeth in a sink area that doesn't have "crusty- black stuff" growing around it.
 
Below, Shower stall- BEFORE
Many leaks in this small vinyl stall and the floor tile was no longer adhered to the floor from the many years of use and moisture.


 

Below, Shower Stall- AFTER
Porcelain tile throughout with all updated fixtures.
...several built-in's for soap and shampoo.



When the door got moved over to enlarge the shower stall, a transom window was added above the door to create a special touch in this bathroom.  The window is handcrafted by an artist in Canada (found on Ebay-creationeuropeenne -superb craftsmanship!).
