My bathroom

Becky Harris added this to What I Learned From My Master Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom (Before)It all began with this grungy shower stall. I dreaded showering in here. First of all, it was tiled in travertine. Not super-pretty vein-cut travertine but just yucko builder’s-special travertine that was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. No matter how well it was sealed and scrubbed and resealed over the years (an expensive process), it was porous and a magnet for mold. And then there was no cleaner I could use to get the reddish iron marks from Atlanta’s water out of the grout without removing the sealant. A built-in (moldy) bench made the shower feel cramped. The dated framed translucent glass surround never felt clean and made it feel even more cramped and dark. And there was just no way to get some of the grunge out of that frame.I should mention here that I did not receive any discounts or special treatment in exchange for this story. But my brother owns the construction company that completed the renovation, and he passed along his friends-and-family trade discount perks at a few vendors. He also stayed far away from being involved in my project. I can’t imagine why.

With going with a modern farm house, I noticed the vertical slat style siding on the wall between the tub and shower.
