And we're finished!
Finally got that first shower last night, so I think we can safely say we are finished! Thanks for everyone's input, advice, and suggestions.
Difficult to photograph, but it's basically a "galley" style bathroom with the sinks on the right, the tub/shower on the left, and straight ahead are the WC, linen closet, and master closet doors.
There were several issues we were trying to resolve with this remodel.
1. Update the awful brass fixtures and perpetually mildewed seams.
2. Upgrade the tub to something I'd be willing to bathe in.
3. Enlarge the shower while keeping a tub in only 108" of space.
4. Increase privacy in the bathroom. There was no door into the bathroom from the bedroom, only an arched entry. The shower was right at the entry and it felt like you were showering in the bedroom. In fact, if someone were standing outside the master bedroom in the hall, or in the front entryway, it seemed like they could almost see you in the shower.
Our GC also happens to have an architecture degree and we feel like he listened to our needs/wants and was able to accomodate all of them. We ended up moving the wall that the existing shower was on into unused space in the bedroom about 14". We used about 4" of that to make a "double wall" that now houses a pocket door. The rest went toward a larger shower. Also by pushing out the wall, the entry into the bedroom is not on the same "plane" as the bathroom door, so it feels much more private.
You've seen it previously, but here is the "before"
Here is the after:
Sinks, counters, mirrors done 2 years ago:
Tub/shower just finished.
We solved the "where to hang two towels" dilemma by putting in a 36" door with a 30" towel bar.
Color enhanced shower floor:
My favorite: the hidden shampoo and soap. By adding a short wall for the glass door to hang from, we got hidden niches, so when you look at the shower, you only see pretty stuff!
Thank you all, I'm so grateful to have discovered this forum and all of the helpful people who are kind enough to reply to questions and issues.
