Here are the before pics.

WOW, that is so pretty and it has charm. Good job.

Toats, you took one ugly monster and made a beauty out of him! Such a great, fantastic job. Kudos to Fred and your teamwork. This has been a fabulous journey through the humps and bumps of renovation. So clean, bright and delightful. I adore it.

Simply fabulous!

This project was all diy. nothin fancy, nothin expensive, just a lotta blood sweat and tears! Not only did i replace the floor but i built all new trim work and even built the shelf above the toilet and the towel rack from scap wood i had laying around. even the curtain is handmade. so a cute and nice reno is possible on a dime after all :) And i gotta make sure i give credit to my fellow houzzer fred. He walked me thru step by step much of my project. thank you, thank you so much fred, you rock!

I love it. It's timeless design and it fits perfectly what I can see of the rest of your home. I love it when people put in the time and do the research to get professional results. Well done indeed!

What a charming bathroom! You did an amazing job in design and execution. I love the shower curtain and the window shade. And the rest looks like the work of an experienced pro. Congrats!

How fun! Great job!

What's a round number for the cost? (Less extra tile) I'll bet people will be even more impressed. My favorite part is the Nessie on the shelf. :)

I spent around $1300 on this Reno, and that includes everything, even decor.

very talented!
Nice reno with a bit of whimsy!

That's amazing! It's fantastic!

Very cute!

Wow. Nice job on everything, including controlling the budget!

I love the Nessie scupture! :)

funny how the lil nessie stole the spotlight from the giant kraken! she was a last minute vintage etsy find for the top shelf.

Very impressed with your DIY project- love the new space and the monsters that dwell in there! :)

nice work.

Great job, Toats! You nailed it with just the right amount of black accents. I really like the window blind and dark muntins.

omg i totally had to google muntins :)

Methinks you also owe some props to your workhorse...BIL! :)
It is a terrific remodel and very inspiring! :)

yes rred, it was awesome to have a helper no doubt!

Great to see some wonderful creativity.

I've got to say I thought the scariest DIY part was when you decided to paint the tub/shower surround! I would never have had the guts to try that. The Nessie just makes the room. So cool.

toats, it looks amazing!! I love everything about it. You are the best at having an idea and getting it done!

I would be getting my exercise constantly walking by all day looking at it again and again :-))

Could we call this a "Nessie" bathroom?

we could, seeing as how nessie runs the joint in there :)

I love the floor. Want to eventually have a bathroom with this floor

thanks saca, the floor is my fav too and the tile was quite affordable. the thing with hex or penny tile that i learned is that you gotta be really meticulous about lining the sheets up so "seams" dont show. i laid a full sheet down then cut the next sheet in half so the sheets would be installed in a staggered fashion, and it allowed a seamless look to the floor.

nice trick! I will keep that in my sack of tricks. Just sitting down with mr. sacapuntas thinking on where to move to do an active retirement (aka find a business and get out of the crazy commutes he has)

we are in the lower Hudson valley. In northern Westchester County. It is a semi rural town. horse farms, some real farms. well and septic. about 1 hour from NYC where we used to live. but the winters are getting so much worse. Used to be 20 was a cold day. Now 20 is a warm day. seriously on a 20 degree day I do not get a coat when I am outside. We have had -10 f that feel like -25F. Not to mention the tax bills! The ice on my patio was 4 inches thick.

but both mr. sacapuntas and I are northerners. the south feels strange. so we are thinking NC, SC or Oregon. I would love to get an organic farm, small scale just to supply restaurants, or a native nursery and work with landscape designers.
