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 MoreOur "new/old" bathroom window

Comments (8)Suggest a small white, cream or grey mat hung over tub which can be used for either tub or shower. We have the type below and it is super soft, drys quickly and washes really well, this one comes in dark grey as well If intetested https://www.cb2.com/cirrus-white-bath-mat/s571940#modal You could add a 3x5 patterned washable rug - don’t suggest oval (measure first to see what you think) in white, or cream with grey.

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 Morebreezygirl
