98% finished bathroom pix

15 years ago

Below is a link to some photos of our almost finished bathroom renovation. This was a complete renovation, down to the studs and sub-floor, in a house built in the 1960s. The only things we re-used are the two chrome framed bathroom mirrors. Except for cutting and installing the granite countertop, this was a DIY project.

    Here are the pictures (I hope!).

    The room appears reddish/pink in the pictures, but is actually a warmer, more golden, color.

    Bathroom looks fantastic.

    Great idea building out the little shelf under the mirrors!! What are the dimensions of your vanity width-height-length?? and the sizes of your sinks??

    Thanks...

    Wow ... that's gorgeous! Love it.

    Very nice--sleek and stylish!

    I built the vanity using Ikea kitchen cabinets. The dimensions are:
    width 25"
    height 35.5"
    length 87.5"

    Sink dimensions
    width 18.25"
    length 24"

    Thanks...I was wondering because I'm trying to decided if I want to do 2-30" vanities with a 15" bank of drawers or do 2-27"s with a 21" bank of drawers.

    My decision has been weeks coming...I'm still looking at door finishes!!

    Nice! And an impressive DIY result. No more 1960's in that room! I'm sure you are loving it.

    WOWOWWW! It is so modern, clean, sleek and it is DIY! you know, i give double thumbs up to DIYers. You have done an incredible job. A professional couldnt do it better (except mongo and billv).

    Please dont take this negatively but why did you go with a shower curtain instead of a frameless glass bypass door?

  • 15 years ago

    We considered glass bypass doors, but decided against them for three reasons:

    1. We have two young children, 2 and 4 years old, and getting them in and out of the tub with glass doors would be challenging.

    2. Arm room when showering. A curved shower curtain rod provides far more arm room (and is a lot softer when struck) than glass panels.

    3. Ease of cleaning

    The shower curtain rod is adhered to the tile with Kerdi-fix, so we could, in the future (when the children are older), remove the rod and install glass doors without having to fill holes in the tile.

    Our children are also what drove our decision to install an American Standard Princeton tub. It is the shallowest tub we could find and both of them can easily climb in and out of it.

    Also, the tub filler spout on the Hansgrohe Interaktiv shower panel is higher than most. This additional height allows our kids to sit at the tub filler end of the tub without worrying about hitting their heads on the spout.

    This was our first bathroom project (first tile job, first plumbing job, first wiring job, etc.) and I learned a great deal by reading through Mongo and Bills posts to Gardenweb. I also greatly apreciate their time and patience in answering my specific questions.
