Small bathroom before and after pics
Comments (34)Thanks for the info dpowlan. We had actually planned to put the toilet under the sloped roof and put a small shelf behind the toilet; essentially bumping it out about 6-8 inches, and then put a curbed skylight above it to combat the lack of headroom. Our contractor (at the time) seemed to have no problem with that. We were also going to run our shower all the way back to the roof and put in a shelf and a bench. However when the plumber showed up he told us he was pretty sure that that was not to code. My contractor then called me and said that all the walls in the bathroom had to be at least 5 ft tall per code. Which meant building a wall out from the sloping roof and losing 12 sq ft. Soo our small bath just became much smaller. It is good to hear that the internal dimensions of your lovely shower are 36 x 45. Our "new" dimensions will be approx 42 x 34. I looked at your pics and stopped hyper-ventilating a bit and thought, "Ok that looks roomy and do-able, if we are somewhere close to that size-wise we may be ok" Anyway, thanks for the help. You give all of us small bath people hope!!...See MoreBefore and After - Avocado Bathroom Update
Comments (99)Rjinga, I hope you see this, since it's not moving to the top. I was out of town for the holiday, but I found your posts in my email. Thanks so much for your lovely compliments! The painted top held up well. We sold the house a few months ago, and all the potential buyers thought it was granite! Even many Realtors (who have likely seen plenty of the real thing). I never did redo the poly to smooth out the brush strokes, and never even had to touch it up. My husband and I aren't hard on things, but I did have water, perfume, hairspray, curling irons, etc. on and around the counter with no problems. It wiped clean with a spritz of 409 and a soft cloth. If I ever do it again, I will try the oil poly with a pantyhose applicator, but I definitely recommend this easy technique if you want a faux granite top....See MoreFinished bathroom window finally
Comments (21)Thanks, everyone. The cat is a ragdoll, so she's spot-on as far as the colors are concerned, and she always seems to slip into the photos (at least way more than the dog does). I cannot believe that someone commented about the bathroom being nice before. It looked like a hospital bathroom complete with a hotel-style vanity ledge and sterile white everywhere. The only things it had that I liked were a giant (but incredibly awkward window) and a heatlamp (both replaced) and a linen closet that I kept. All else was terrible (to me anyhow). I cannot even believe it's the same room, and I had multiple contractors fight me on my ideas (since I designed it myself and was told that it couldn't be done and still get 30"-plus by the vanity and a 5' x 3' shower). I told them so, and I got 33" of distance between the vanity and the knee wall. Anyhow, enough of memory lane. But the color, as I've mentioned elsewhere, is Benjamin Moore Mount Saint Anne (CC-710) (I used the Aura bath/spa paint). My kitchen project and granite replacement from the crack caused by my hot mac and cheese dish last December will be the subject of a post in a couple of weeks, and the final master bedroom items should be in then, too....See More2nd bathroom, before and after.
Comments (8)Love it! What a good idea to recess the toilet a bit for a clear path through. Is that a window or a niche in the back wall of the shower? I can't quite see what's going on there....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoThe floor tile is Emser Europa Bianca Glazed Porcelain. The countertop is Superwhite granite. Tub is Aquatica Purescape Acrylic 014a. Toilet Kohler Cimmaron round chair height. Tub faucet is from Signature Hardware - Leta Faucet. Sink faucet is Delta Olmsted. My splurge item was the trim kit recessed chandelier light over the tub....it is from Beaux-Artes...here's the stock pic of it. I just adore it! It is elegant but understated. You have to click on the pic w/the art to see it all.
Mine is in white below:
I used a gray paint from Walmart called Country Fog...it is a light gray w/hint of blue.
Here's the stock photo of cabinet hardware:
