Master bath 'update' is now a 're-do' (pics)(xpost to Home Dec)
Comments (0)My "later on" master bath "update" turned into "more" and "now" due to a leaking shower pan. My house is a 1964 ranch originally built with sort of a "french/english country" feel. My "update" plans were to replace the sink/fixtures and countertops, texture/paint walls, re-paint cabinets and frame the mirror, still sticking with the beige/cream/taupe color scheme. Bedroom hasn't been redone. . .now it will follow the bath. The leaking shower pan added a complete shower gut/re-do/new shower fixtures (maybe a multi-head and in-out swing door). I'm afraid just replacing the shower pan and attempting to re-use the tile or match it would just look bad. I would like to keep the original floor tile and for a couple of reasons do not plan on pulling out the bulkhead or re-doing the ceiling (although it's not totally out of the question) the "big bath" for the other two bedrooms has a similar tile in white/brushed gold and the same bulkhead and that trim is all over the house (and I kind of like it. . .guess I'm a 60's kind of gal!!). So, I'm thinking just putting in 3 cans or pendants, probably cans. . .while they are beautiful, I don't like pendants in my bathroom. . tend to bang them into the mirror/wall). Will replace the large mirror with single mirrors over the lavatory and make-up area and add an electrical outlet in the space between them and change ceiling heater to a vent/heater. Probably replace the shutters (like the shutters, the inserts not so much and can't figure out how to get them out. . or how to put something in). My biggest concern is the floor. . .do you think it's salvageable and do you think I can find something for the shower that will blend. I do want some accent tiles in the shower, maybe glass?? FWIW, I'm not a "blue" person. . .more soft greens, taupe, greys, red/burgandy/pink and yellows. Any thoughts on how much, what kind, and what color of lipstick I can put on this little piggy would be greatly appreciated!!...See MoreDo I need a hand towel bar in master bath?
Comments (11)You can have a hook, a bar, lay it on the countertop, or my favorite--a large towel ring. The advantages of a hook, bar, or ring are simple----the towel dries infinitely faster, thus minimizing the chances of any habitable bacterial environment. Damp or wet towels on a countertop are far more likely to harbor a nutrient surface for bacteria. Also, if you hang a towel, it will be dryer next time you use it:-) Greg...See Morei just did a master bath. how do i post pics?
Comments (9)I took a 14x10 partially started master bath, gutted what had been started, and finished my own way. I had a friend frame the shower and tub for me and do the shower floor pan. Once the framing was finished, I had my wonderful brother repair plaster issues I created from removing studs and merge to existing walls and ceiling. He makes it look so easy. I laid 24x24 tiles in the main area floor, 12x24 tiles in the shower, tub top, and sides. The tile was purchased from Vonderhydes in Pekin, Il. The cabinets are custom made, along with mirror frames which were created from Fine Woodworking by Earl Raymond, of Hanna city, Il. The quartz tops and sinks are Cambria and were ordered through KBL design center of Peoria, Il and the shower glass was ordered and installed by JPGlass of Peoria. This is by far the biggest project I have taken on myself and am thoroughly pleased with the outcome. I received bids to do this job from building the shower to doing the plumbing, all astronomical. They may have done it quicker but for 3 times the cost. Im glad I did it my way....See MoreDo these sconces work for our master bath?
