Modern bathroom reveal

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

We didn’t
like our master bath from the very beginning.
Useless bathtub, narrow layout (we could hardly squeeze between
the sink and Jacuzzi), boring tile, the list goes on... The ”BEFORE” pictures
tell it all.


We’ve
already had some remodeling experience when we renovated our guest bathroom.

Guest Bathroom Remodeling Do's and Don'ts, Mission Completed

Though we
liked the outcome of our first remodeling project this time we wanted a modern style bathroom and Houzz
happened to be a great source of the design ideas. After hours and hours of surfing
we came up with two bathrooms designs.
We liked them both and picked the best from each of them.

    Very nice! The clean lines, the sculptured faucets and that light fixture make for a very sharp bathroom.

    Amazing transformation! Love your selections and like how you carried your shower wall panels onto the walls. Is it solid surface or tiles? We are removing our unsightly garden tub and expanding our shower too. Beautiful bathroom!

    Beautiful! I'm also interested in knowing about the walls and shower pan.

    We used 12" x 24" Italian tile for walls and bathroom floor, INDIA collection by Isla Tiles

    Shower pan is pretty standard, we used 2" x 2" matching mosaic tile for the shower floor.

    We bought our mirrors at Lowe's!


    125-in x 36.125-in Silver Polished Rectangle Frameless Contemporary Wall Mirror

    Our contractor has criticized our choice - too cheap for our stylish bathroom!

    I saw those at Lowe's last weekend but didn't think yours were exactly the same. I think they look nice! Thanks for the info. I'm building a house and have lots of decisions to make!

    To be continued...


    After 7 years of happiness shower base started leaking causing a serious damage to the subfloor.



  • 2 years ago

    That is truly sad. Have you pinpointed the failure in the shower base?

    I can't imagine the grief you are going through with demolishing a fairly new bathroom.

    I wouldn't say "grief" but it made our life extremely uncomfortable.

    The root cause was a damaged insulation around shower threshold. We didn't notice any signs like mold or specific smell until guy from the termite inspection found dropped pieces of subfloor in our crawl space.

    The only positive outcome from this disaster is our decision to lower subfloor and get rid of threshold entirely. It's not a big deal when you build a new house but could be quite challenging in the existing one.

    We invited a structural engineer to evaluate our floor support structure and luckily he suggested a solution the would allow lowering subfloor by adding additional reinforcement joists.

    You are saying damaged threshold?

    Do you think the shower clips penetrated the curb?

    My daughter is doing curb less and they strongly recommend u channel where the glass meets the floor to avoid problems with clips possibly penetrating the waterproofing.

    Do you have enough tile to redo all the shower walls?

    Luckily we do!


    Insulation failed where marble frame was attached to the curb.


    Installing the heated floor...



  • 2 years ago

    I don’t see any waterproofing on the walls. Destined for failure again.

  • 2 years ago

    Walls were OK for 7 years. Leak happened across the wall in the area where marble frame attached to the curb.
