Cheap bathroom almost done (PICS)

18 years ago

Well, I posted here a few months ago with my ugly (but in good shape) bathroom:

Took some advice here so far we re-tiled:

'cheap' marble tile:

'cheap' ceramic.



I think it's coming along great...

What do folks think???

    It doesn't look cheap to me. It looks like it is going to turn out to be very elegant. Can't wait to see it finished.

    Looks great!

    I'm interested to know what sort of rad cover you're going to do.

    Keep posting pix.

    Looking naaaaiiiiceeee!!

    Fabulous - love the marble tile you are using!!!

    I need to take and post some more pictures.

    Everything is grouted (is that a word?) and boy it looks real nice.

    We have the shower curtain up and the shower head and what not up now. It's now usable. I thought the marble tile might be too dark for this small of a bathroom, but it really looks good - very luxurious (making the rest of the house seem NOT SO luxurious!!):)

    The wooden 'accents' are gone - thankfully... I've purchased brushed nickle 'accents' and I'm happy with them - boy those puppies aren't cheap either!

    Toilet is gone - new one is not in yet... (thank goodness for a half bath!!) I DID go with the Cadet... I'm worried about the startle factor... anyone have any thoughts...?

    I AM having trouble finding the 'right' counter/vanity top. I really like my 'pump' fixture so we'll be keeping that - BUT it's a 4" fixture - and now a lot of the bathroom vanity tops are 8" fixture (holes). I did find one at a discount box store - Grossmans - it was granite and 4" holes for the fixtures, AND it was 37" wide but the width was 19"!! I need something in the 22" range! Does anyone have any thoughts regarding vanity/counter tops?? I'd like to be in the $150-$200 range for this... Thoughts?

    Attached is the link to my original post (it offers a few more pictures of the 'old' bathroom).

    Thanks!

    May I ask the name of your floor tile? Speaking of cheap (which your bathroom does *not* look like) I'm considering a tile from Lowe's and it looks rather similar to your floor tile.

    Bravo! Keep up the good work!

    Have you looked into getting a countertop made from a remnant at a granite place? Might work with your budget.

    What a great bathroom. Like weedyacres posted above, I got a BEAUTY of a granite top for my BR vanity by using a remnant. It was only $300 for a piece of Blue in the Night granite and another $100 for the sink (undermount) and install. Check around at different shops...If I got a granite top and sink from HD or Lowe's, it would be closer to $1,000.

    looks really beautiful. I'm doing the same right now. Keep the pictures coming!!

    I would also suggest a granite remnant. You'll have to still find a base but would go well with the shower tile.

    One thing I've learned, the price of the materials are nothing if the installation isn't well done. Yours looks great. Can't wait to see it finished.

    to:

    forgot to share the old light fixture/fan:

    So paint is done - new commode, new vanity lights, mirror...

    All's left is the rad, baseboard/trim, painting, toilet seat cover (don't ask!), and putting up the accessories (I think)!
