Before the wall came down
Before the remodel, the interior of bathroom was dark with golden harvest fixtures! A wall separated the bathroom and a laundry room that was the exact footprint of the bathroom. The two rooms shared an adjoining wall so I took it down
I was able to keep the toilet in the same place, as well as the washer and dryer. I built a beautiful closet for it with bifold doors and crown molding.
I raised the ceiling to the roof and built a drop down wall to give the tub some separation.
I put in a discount window I found (and the only one that would fit the space) for 25 dollars. I decided to do a pushed out window to have a little shelf.
I picked up the tub for $300 at Home Depot marked down and it sat in my shed for 3 years til I got to the renovation.
I encased the entire tub area and floor with a Tuscan Bone tile and added electric radiant heat to the floor.
I used 18 inch granite floor tiles for the vanity top and managed to get it done in very few pieces.
All in all, I spent about $8500. I love it! It has a very 'spa' feel to it.
