Adventure to date - final touches + pics

16 years ago

Ok the toilet flushes. the sink runs, the tub works, and I finally found out how to unfreeze the blinking blue eye of the steam shower (FYI just like a computer, cut the power by throwing the breaker for one minute until it comes to its senses). The thermostat handle on the regular shower fell off but HD can fix that when he installs the steam shower door which should arrive late this week. EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINISHED!!! right down to the bath mat. So I have to share pics. The first 5 are before the renovation; then shots of the various steps, and final 4 including 3 on pg 2 are of the final bathroom. Hope the link works. Many thanks to all who helped us through this process with your information and suggestions.

Here is a link that might be useful: Sally's bathroom.

    Very pretty! Love the floor and the accent tiles - good choice for wall color. I'm going to miss the updates on your "adventure." Are you planning on renovating any other rooms - a kitchen perhaps? If so, please start another thread and keep us posted on your next project. (I just read your "Washlet story" and was hysterical.)

    Thanks Kitchenkrazed. It has been quite the venture. It will take a while for the nerves to mend, the wallet to refill and the husband to calm before I start on the downstairs bathroom!!
    cheers

    You've inspired me to finally put my pictures on the wall for the bathroom. Congrats on finishing the bathroom including the final touches. I love the way you had such a neutral color but managed to make it unique with the tile accents. What was the wall color you used for your bathroom? It looks really good on the wall.

    Ooohh, I really like the transformation! That looks awesome! I hope you and dh thoroughly enjoy your new look.

    The funny thing is I really didn't want to change the original blue and white look - I just wanted to add a soaking tub. then one thing led to another. I am more than happy with the result though, even if it was not the original vision. DH just snorts and says all he wants is to be able to have a a functioning bathroom.

    I love your transformation. You and hubby must be very proud and happy of your work. Do you mind sharing the name of your accent tile strip in bathroom. I love it.

    Beautiful! Enjoy your lovely new bathroom. The colors are gorgeous and your tile accent is striking.

    Good to hear your finished vision wasn't your original vision. I am having trouble zeroing in on my look!

    Accent tile - I got it from an ebay store
    http://stores.ebay.com/Lands-Warehouse
    T.hey have gorgeous tiles. The one I used was called Crystal Glass Mosaic Tile Mix w/Natural Stone Bath Wall
    There is a beautiful mosaic in tones of maroon that I am thinking of using as an accent tile in the window wells of my dining room. Except I am so gun shy of starting another project I might just lay a chunk of the raw tile on top for a while!
    Paint - I usually use Ellen Kennon, but couldn't find the right tone, so I went with Beauty tone Designer Series from Home Hardware - colour Nougat. The white is Ellen Kennon Blush
    Tile - walls COEM travertino romano walnut; Floor - Mother Nature Jet Brown
    Fixtures - mostly American Standard
    Tub - Maax bubble tub
    Toilet - Toto drake
    Steam shower - Thermosol

    Hey Sally,
    I was wondering what size are the dark rectangular floor tiles and the square tiles on the wall behind the toilet and in the shower? Your bathroom looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

    Hi Constanceann
    The shower/wall tiles are 18"x18" and the floor "wood" tiles are 26"x6". If I were to try tiling myself I would not struggle with tiles that big the first time. The shower floor are 2" mosiac.
