Wow, it's amazing what a tiling and paint job can do for a bathroom! I personally love the pumpkin color you chose. Like you said, it goes really well with the white tile. My wife and I are looking to get our bathroom renovated this summer. We're not handy enough to do it ourselves like you are, though. Hopefully we can find a good bathroom renovation service in our area that can do a job this good! Thanks for sharing! http://www.oakvillekitchencentre.com/gallery/bathroom

Hi Liz, I found your post after searching for help on my exact same size bathroom in a NYC coop. My bathroom however does not have a window, which I would have liked for light and air. You did an amazing job, I am so impressed. You probably have already mentioned this, but because you have so many posts on your article I can’t find it: can you please tell me that name and color of your floor tiles and your subway tiles? Thank you!

@angel re: kitchen. Herringbone pattern, and the contractor was not great. He didn't remove thinker, so subfloor wasn't level. We do have some intense lippage at certain spots. Of course, I chalked it up to the subfloor issues. @flo good call on material. We are tight. I'll have them do a serious dryfit with overage calculations included. The subfloor and durock is all brand new, so it should be level.

Excellent points ACM. I would like to keep the tub because it is darn expensive to replace the surrounding tile is in perfect condition. Yes, we will replace the toilet because it makes sense. We actually need to move the toilet 6 to 8 inches because it is just 15" from the tub and while it makes code, it is jammed. NKBA says 18" is much better. So, we are changing the floor tile, toilet and countertop for sure. We will leave the tub and MAYBE re-glaze it. The room looks darker than it really is, but I am going to add or change some lighting. You have made me realize that I should look at shower curtains as a starting point. Just like other rooms, we always look at the fabrics first, then choose the tile..... While some people have suggested that I convert the bath to a shower, when we sell the house someday, it will probably be a children's bathroom. So, we will leave it for next owners to decide if they want a shower only.... Thank you everyone for taking the time to chime in.
