Nice job! See all those stats that say you get less than 100% of your money back on a bath remodel are wrong. You did it the smart way by updating finishes and not changing the footprint at all. You did a wonderful job and it paid off in the end. Congratulations on the sale of your home - and the extra $40k for all of your hard work. :)

Very nice and congrats!

Great job.

Wow...Very Nice Job. Did you also install the Frameless shower glass? Do you mind proving details where you both the frameless shower. We are building our home, and the frameless shower is an upgrade through the builder. However, the upgrades comes with a price tag of 1300.00. I am hoping dear husband can install it for cheaper.

Can you share the materials choices like floor tile and granite color?

Love the B4 & after. Inspires me as I plan to begin ours! I do hope you post some details per other comments :)

Ursula - I did not install the glass (an oversight in my intro copy). I've seen far to many internet video's of shattered glass in doing my research. I contacted many, many glass shops and finally found one who brought in a reasonable price - I think it was about $930. Installed. The installer went through two drill bits to get the holes in the tile. Said it was the toughest he's ever seen. They did an excellent job. $!300 to $1500. was about where I started in my search.

The floor tile is a 12 X 24 ceramic that mimics the polished marble - I chose it as the patterns were very random and varied. Its set on a herringbone pattern on the floor and a vertical stacked pattern on the walls/tub. Typically, ceramics in large format should be offset 30/70 or 50/50 as they are never completely flat and corners are prone to either rise or sink. This "lippage" is OK in a vertical situation (you can tell by the shadows in the shower Niche shot). I bordered the perimeter with 3 X 12 tiles cut from the big size or from waste pieces. The baseboard is actual Polished travertine marble in a 3X6 tile. This was used in the insets as well. All tiles were purchased at Floor & Decor (a So.Cal retailer). The large is Tarsus Beige polished. (approx 2.39 a SF) and the Marble was Cappucino polished travertine. I used unpolished pencil to outline insets and niches.
Countertops are Santa Maria. The actual colors in that name category varied quite a bit and I had the shopowner's dad actually make the selection (I tend to trust others far too much). my only caveat was a to make sure it wasn't too pink). These were pre-made countertop slabs - far cheaper than choosing a slab & having it fabricated. As the master bath is an oddly long 11' piece it would have been difficult to get slabs that length. He purchased 2 and used a portion of the shorter kid's counter to make up the length in the master. As these came with "6" backsplash, I elected to have him use that in the tub (existing tub) surround. and the floating shelves in the shower niche. He cut & assembled it and I installed after I tiled. I think it was 875. per slab (installed).

Shower Floor

Here is the boy's bathroom. This is an interior bathroom with no window. I don't have a before photo (it was bad, let it be known). It had a white builder-grade cabinet, the huge mirror spanning the 2 sinks and toilet. The fiberglass insert was used by 3 boys who have never held a can of scrubbing bubbles in their lifetime. Oh, the light future was again, builder grade with 6 globe hollywood type. I had the tub reglazed (so worth it). I stained/painted the cabinet and installed hardware. Sinks were similar to MB but were 4" spread rather then 8' spread. I had a plumber install the shower valve (which necessitated he access it from my main entryway wall - 13' up). I had a team of 3 plumbers that day for 6 hours. I could literally see the time ticking away like a taxi meter - lucky we negated for a not to exceed price of $600. Floors were done prior. I found a perfect beveled mirror that I framed with moulding from Lowes and stained to match cabinet. I had to move the new light fixture up and over 3 inches each way to center it. I bought a narrow shutter system and painted it white and framed it in to give the appearance of a window. I did install a new fan (prior was way underrated for room size) and also install a halogen light near tub. Having repair/replaced so many shower rods, I installed a ceiling hung track for the shower curtain (hospital style) which required 13" chains. It works great!. Bathroom fixtures - Delta, Sinks - Kohler.

Wow, that is fantastic news. Your hard work definitely paid off!
