Our new upstairs bathroom!
Comments (17)At last, we are done with the second bathroom, and this finishes up all of the home remodeling we did this time around. The finished shower is a Style Selections (link above) from Lowe's. It is faux carrera marble, a standard center hole drain pan, and frameless sliding glass doors. We used a duplicate of the toilet that was installed upstairs, the Kohler Santa Rosa one-piece. However, we had a weird thing cause us a little problem. The upstairs bath had a 12" clearance between the toilet's drain pipe and the wall; the downstairs bath had a 10" clearance! The choice was to move the drain pipe 2", or get a different toilet. We opted for the 2" move. Unfortunately, this took place AFTER they had already put the tiles on the floor (sigh). The floor tiles, btw, are ceramic tiles in a carrera marble pattern. Where the shower walls are gray with white veining, the floor is white with grey veining. The biggest hold up in the completion of bathroom had to do with the bathroom medicine cabinet. We had our contractor, who is also a carpenter, make us two corner medicine cabinets with a mirror in between. Hubby wanted beveled mirrors, which call for a different hardware that our local places did not carry. They finally found them, and finished it off today. Our contractor used extra facing and wood that we'd purchased when we ordered the bathroom vanity, so that they would match. And finally, here is the bathroom vanity. We also covered a pocket door. While having one wasn't bad in the bathroom, the door left us with almost no wallspace in the adjoining master bedroom. One wall was completely closet, another wall had a window in the center, the third wall had the pocket door almost directly in the center, and that left ONE wall that was uninterrupted. Covering the pocket door gave us another wall. The only con was that the bathroom seems a little smaller, a little narrower. Fixtures: Delta faucet in satin nickel, which was improperly marked so it gave our installer a run for his money. An intricate shower water system was made of three different brands, all in satin nickel, working together. The towel bars and grab bars were all Delta. Hubby claims this bathroom as "his" to decorate, so he chose haze grey floor mat and toilet mat (both in memory foam). These go really well with the carrera marble. I tease him a little, that he chose grey because of his time in the Navy, which of course he denies. Donna...See MoreAck! Bathroom paint color disaster. Help please!
Comments (5)Busybee ... Thank you, I'll check that out. I can't believe I forgot my fan deck today. I carry that thing with me everywhere these days. Caminnc, I did cut the wall color 50% for the ceiling, but now that I'll be changing the wall color we'll have to see how the ceiling looks....See MoreOur new bathroom drywall is super soft.

Comments (8)We were installing the vanity and doing the tiling so a lot was going on in the bathroom. Anything that hit the wall left a dent, even lightly, and I can scratch the wall with my finger nail leaving a mark. I misspoke in my post and he actually finished it with a light weight compound which is why our walls are so malleable. The drywall is brand new. We gutted our bathroom and started from scratch on the remodel....See MoreOur New Contemporary Bathroom Remodel
Comments (4)Looks really nice! Very contemporary. How are you liking the sliding shower door? We have one in a guest bath but it’s not curbless. Wondering how that works with water, is there a linear drain?...See MoreKelli Kaufer Designs
