First I have to tell you how envious I am of your Spanish Revival home!! I'd love to see pictures of the rest of the house if you get a chance.

Can you post a floorplan of the entire room with dimensions, windows and doorways, etc?

OOoh ... this sounds like a fun project.

So first of all, on the size/shape of the shower. I'm not sure what size it is now, but you would be well served to think about what you want for the floor of your shower. If you want tile, you might want to look for shower pans (which are tiled over) and if you don't want tile look for shower receptors. Either way, check out what the standard sizes are and either full rectangle or neo-angle, make sure that you pick a standard size. We're about to build a new bathroom and even though we told the architect to use a standard shower size there was just no way to make it work in the room so we ended up with a custom size and I can't believe how much that is increasing the price for the floor.

Secondly, if you haven't already been to www.houzz.com, head over there and search the bathroom category. This is the best source of inspiration photos I've found and it's been remarkably helpful.

On the toilet, not sure if either of these is what you were thinking as far as vintage goes but here are two options:

Also, in case you didn't know, Restoration Hardware's bath sale is going on now so if you're sure you want those beautiful fixtures, you might want to order them during the sale.

Good luck ... this one will be fun to see come together and I love the vanity/sinkboard you chose!

Thanks for the input. I will get some specs tomorrow when I go for the inspection and post up the floor plan. And I guess that'll help figure out cost and options for shower size and shape.

Here are a few pictures of the house, mostly of what I don't like. LOL!

Thanks, I did find houzz.com last night and went through all 279 eclectic bathroom pictures. I will keep poking around there. Cool site.

Thanks for the heads up on the RH sale. I was aware and checked yesterday that the sale goes through August 23rd. So I'll definitely be ordering by then. Still not sure which faucets I want to go with between, Vintage and Lugarno. And still not sure on what finish, between oil-rubbed bronze and polished nickel.

Agree that you have SUCH a fun project...your vanity choice is beautiful- that wood will sing in this bathroom's fantastic light!

Of course, I don't know the dimensions, but the decision to keep or change the shower shape is a toss up; some considerations- *changing the shape will close off the toilet even more and it is already snug *the shower door angle softens the galley hall-down-the-middle feel * changing it would add a square foot or two to the shower, but going with frameless glass will add a couple of sf also.
Since this is the masterbath, a traditionally shared room, I wonder if you considered a half-wall between the shower and toilet to keep some toilet privacy. Below are images I pulled from past web saves with half-walls and frameless glass; the top first photo just shows your shower's same shape- though it is not frameless like you'll have- it obviously works for the space and the bathroom looks great- may be the same situation as yours.

...and below are low niches for carving out space- eeking out some width by the toilet may help it not feel tight over there- these look modern, but with traditional fixtures they would just look custom; one image shows a low niche in a shower used as a foot rest for washing your feet or shaving your legs- don't think I'll tile another shower without including one of these; and last photo- if you really don't want a half wall on the toilet shower side, then maybe a frosted wall (or half way up frosted wall)? I'm showing my modesty about this toilet thing, I know- it's a thing I have....

I really like what you have already! It's functional, and I think, pretty. A good cleaning would work wonders. And, I would want to live in the house for a year or two before dropping 12-15K on that bath.

kitch,

Thanks for the ideas. I will consider the half wall next to the toilet. I suppose it might be nice to have a little separation. I initially wanted as little blocking the path of the eye, but that would be below the sight line. I will have to see if it saves money on the glass or not too. And the cubby ideas are helpful too, definitely want to work in a small bench and/or some cubby space in the shower.

Live wire, thanks for being the voice of reason, but I really can't handle the gray formica counter top and while it may look good in pictures, the tile on the floor is crooked and there is a line of cut tiles running down the center of the room.

The rest of the house is original or really high-end new stuff, the master doesn't speak to that. I would really like to re-tile the guest bath as I'm not too fond of the blue tile, but that will probably wait a year or two.

First, go buy a copy of Bungalow Bathrooms. She has FABULOUS pictures of Spanish Revival bathrooms. A lot of that tile is still being made, you can have a lot of fun.

Thanks, just ordered it used from Amazon.

Can you tell me about the console you picked out? Will it be custom made or is it a piece you found?

It is the Harvest Double Sink Console from Pottery Barn.

The bathroom is Just off of 9'x6'. It is 107"x74". This is the best I could figure out to show the layout of the shower.

Shower layout

It looks a little too small for dual shower heads and that the current shape is probably the best. But I might consider a "handshower" on the side wall to give a little more functionality and a pseudo dual shower since everyone seems to be big fans of the hand shower.

Hand shower

Also, I have 36" between the outside of the shower and the wall where the toilet sits. I could steal 6" from that and move the toilet over, but I don't think I want to undergo the cost of moving the toilet. I will already pick up 3-4 inches of room by getting rid of the glass blocks and going with the framless walls.

OK, I'm looking at the photos and remembering that you said the photos are mostly of things that you didn't like, and thinking, OK, so you'll have to remove the cobwebs under the cabinets, and wow that's a stuffed closet. And then I get to the photo of the (I assume) neighbor's dog, and had to laugh - I love that you took a photo of the neighbor's dog. And how do you plan to fix that???

LOL! I actually love the neighbor's dog, but I would change it to black. ;-)

My girlfriend love's French Bulldogs as do I. So we'll likely end up with one despite the fact that I am allergic to dogs.

Anyone have thoughts on mixing oil rubbed bronze and polished nickel? I've decided on Lugarno fixtures from RH and have to order them tomorrow night when we get home from vacation since their bath sale ends tomorrow. I'm just not sure if I should go with nickel mirrors too or maybe keep the ORB look of the set up above.

Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.

I would be inclined to keep the fixtures all oil rubbed bronze or polished nickel. Just my humble opinion.

Thanks for the input. Mirrors should match the fixtures.

I'm finally started on the remodel...

Nice surprise under the toilet. All rotted out.
