21'x11' Master Bath Re-do

11 years ago

Hi All,

I use to be a regular on these forums. Hubby and I have remodeled every room on the first floor in our 1986 home. Everything 95% DIY (not so confident with plumbing). After a two year delay because we bought a boat that we spent WAY too much time on, we are moving to the upstairs. First room was the guest room - easy just a paint job really. Next master bath. It's huge and very 1986 with a Jacuzzi tub, sheet vinyl, brass fixtures, etc. I have all the materials being delivered and will only use a contractor for the shower stall. The rest hubby and I will tackle. Wish us luck!

Here are the current (before) photos.

    Materials and ideas. Will probably do bead board wainscoting and still trying to decide of the gray for the walls.


    Vanity (2)

    Faucet (2)

    Vanity pulls

    Replacing linen closet doors with divided light french doors. We will frost the glass and backlight with can lights. Like we did for the kitchen pantry doors photo below but with Polished Nickel hardware:

    Shower will be white subway, platinum grout and marble hex floor/niche - we will be doing the same marble hex on the floor throughout the bathroom with the platinum grout

    Vanity Mirrors (2)

    Wow your choices so far are awesome. I love that hex tile you chose for the bath floor/shower floor. Who makes the towel warmer?

    Thanks! It's just from Home Depot. Brand is Kensington.

  • 11 years ago

    Is it the towel warmer that is from HD Kensington brand, or the hex tiles. I would be interested in both.

    I was just thinking that I need a holder for my squeegee. Can you share the details on yours?

  • 11 years ago

    What's the brand of the freestanding tub?

  • 11 years ago

    Love your plans! Just a heads up though on the marble hex shower floor, do a search here. Many have had issues with it not drying out underneath over time and then it requires replacement. That being said, it is beautiful though.

    This is a complete DIY using Home Depot materials. We are keeping our budget under $10K. We plan on selling our house in a few years so don't want to over invest but also want to do a decent job on the remodel for re-sale value. We're pretty handy (re-modeled our entire kitchen for $7500).

    Here are so before and afters of some of our previous remodeling projects:

    Progress has been a bit slow on our DIY bathroom due to work travel schedules. Tomorrow I will be finishing the paint inside my Makeup Vanity Closet and tiling a backsplash in there. This week we will be pulling out the vanity/sinks and rough plumbing for freestanding tub filler and freestanding tub. While DH is traveling after next week, I will tile the floor.

    Here's some progress pix. Cabinets below will be painted white. DH handmade the top.

    DH installed can lights.

    Mirrors removed and DH drywalling

    DH's handmade shelf for above the freestanding tub (will look awesome with apothecary jars filled with bath stuff)

    DH installed upper cabinets which I will paint white and added french doors which we will frost the glass.

    And tomorrow I paint and tile. White subway tile backsplash with white ceramic chair rail.

    More pix tomorrow.

    A quick question though... do you think I could take the shower doors off and use this tile saw in there so as not to make too much of a mess. I hate the idea of going downstairs and out to the garage to use the saw.


    Tile Saw

  • 11 years ago

    I think that is a good idea. You have easy access to water to keep the pan filled. I would wash any solids down the drain though.

  • 11 years ago

    Here's my tiling job. I think it looks good - considering it's the first time I've ever tiled anything in my life!


  • 11 years ago

    hi azwildcats, what a wonderful job you are doing! I love seeing your progress pics! I am wondering where you got your cabinets? i plan on putting cabinets in a closet opening also! thank you!

  • 11 years ago

    They are stock Home Depot cabinets. I will paint them BM White dove.

  • 11 years ago

    Wow!! You are doing a great job!! Love all of your renovations.

    can you tell me how your DH made & installed the shelf?

  • 11 years ago

    Coat #1 of paint done today.

  • 11 years ago

    Paint is done.

  • 10 years ago

    We had a bit of a delay. Took us forever to find a plumber willing to rough in the toilet, shower and tub... let me do the tiling and then come back to set the tub, shower faucet & toilet.

    Meanwhile, since we were waiting, DH thought it would look pretty cool to install a wood wall for behind the toilet.


  • 10 years ago

    Love that wood wall!. So cool.

  • 10 years ago

    I wanted to do that too! Love it! What kind of wood is it?

  • 10 years ago

    It's just random wood left over from demoing the Jacuzzi tub.

  • 10 years ago

    Dry fit tiling. Spent a better part of the day getting all the prep work done before actually installing the tile. By the time I got around to actually installing the tile - two rows in, I was beat. I will be back at it tomorrow.


  • 10 years ago

    Those hex tiles look great. Are they real marble or porcelain?

  • 10 years ago

    MS International Grecian from Home Depot

  • 10 years ago

    Two Days tiling... I'm pooped. Tomorrow evening I will seal, next night, start grouting.

  • 10 years ago

    Outstanding work. It is beautiful!

    Carol

  • 10 years ago

    Thanks! Hopefully it will look good after the platinum grout!


  • 10 years ago

    I'm so envious! Your renovations are beautiful. What I'd give to have a bathroom that's bigger than a closet!

  • 10 years ago

    Grout done in he main part of the bathroom. Can I just say, my hands still hurt!!!

  • 10 years ago

    Just wondering what the purpose of the french doors are.

    Diane

  • 10 years ago

    That is a lot of hex! Have your arms fallen off from doing all of that grout?

  • 10 years ago

    Diane - French doors lead into the master bedroom and there will be frosted backlit french doors on my makeup closet/vanity.

    Errant - they nearly did fall off!

    Guess what I'm doing today - more tile and just taped shower and going to do primer coat of RedGard.

    Toilet is to the left, shower to the right.

  • 10 years ago

    This bathroom is going to be spectacular when you're finished. Can't wait to see it.

  • 10 years ago

    Wow - looks great! I'm slightly jealous - your Master Bath is only slightly smaller than my kitchen (14x22) !

    Always ;-)

    azwildcats70, any updates?

  • 10 years ago

    Yes indeed! I've been working on the shower. It's been a bit of a slow go due to switching jobs and DH traveling for work. Still have a third wall and shower base to do.


  • 10 years ago

    More bathroom progress...

  • 10 years ago

    Love this!! Your other "after" post is stunning. Thank you for sharing!

    Do you recall details for your subway tile and vanity mirrors??

  • 10 years ago

    Everything in the bathroom was purchased at HD.

  • 10 years ago

    What shower door did you purchase, $, etc. I need a shower door for our recently renovated master bath. Our opening is 45 inches wide. Thanks so much.
