bathroom hell (blue tub, pink tiles), redo help needed
Comments (6)What a bathroom! What a neat tub and sink! Is this a vacation home or permanent? I'm not sure it matters but it would work better for a vacation home (psychologically anyway), but what about doing the tub/shower plumbing like an old clawfoot with shower added? Full surround shower curtain (or just two sides if you want to redo the tile nice and watertight I guess) with the showerhead piped openly from the lower plumbing and attached to the curtain rod? Wrong terms, I know, but maybe you know what I mean. LIke the one linked below (cheaper versions and different configurations are available--this was just a quick google.) I'd guess there used to be a thicker floor that was removed and nobody bothered to tell the toilet. If you're really being cheap, you could maybe get away with a lot of paint on the cabinets and curtains over the missing doors, but the cabinets would have to be sturdy enough to keep for that to work. Crisp white tile is inexpensive and you CAN put tile on a piece of plywood for the removable countertop. It'll be heavy enough you won't need to anchor it. Maybe you can DIY drywalling the ceiling. It's not a fun job, but it's a good bonding experience with whatever friends you can get to help. :) Here is a link that might be useful: example of ceiling mount shower curtain/tub-to-shower conversion...See Morehelp - bathroom redo decisions 2 parts
Comments (14)My son is just finishing up a bathroom redo. He had water leaking into the kitchen below the bathroom. To correct the leak he had to remove the tub, tile surround and floor tile so that meant the vanity and toilet had to go too. One of his friends told him to file a claim with his insurance company. He was pleasantly surprised when they gave him a check that amounted to about half of the total renovation cost. So if you haven't done so already file a claim with your insurance company. His bathroom is a simliar set up to yours except his vanity is 66 inches long. His toilet is also between the vanity and tub like yours. He has another bathroom with a tub so he decided to do a shower only in this bathroom. He opted for the Kohler cast iron shower pan that is meant to replace a 30x60 tub. His vanity will be natural maple. He found a remnant at a fabricator's and will be using black pearl granite for the countertop. Just for some ideas for you here is his before And here is a during: He used Dal Tiles Ayers Rock Majestic Mound porcelain tile with 13x20 tiles on the wall and 20x20 on the floor. He is waiting on shower doors and his counter top so I can't post finished pics yet but we think it already looks great. My daughter did a small bath remodel this past spring she used Dal Tiles Florentine porcelain tile. She kept her tub and used 12x24 around it with 24x24 on the floors. Since she had no linen closet in her house she opted to sacrifice sink/countertop space for tall storage. Her sink base is 24 inches and the tall cabinet is 18 inches. She used a remnant of quartz for her countertop. Here are a couple shots of her bathroom. Good luck on your remodel This post was edited by badgergal on Wed, Nov 5, 14 at 16:30...See MoreHelp with bathroom paint colors and making a decision please!!
Comments (1)After looking at this picture and researching, does anybody think this color is BM Quiet Moments or is a lighter color than that? The picture when I found it was labed "green and brown bathroom". I would not be opposed to painting my vanity an espresso color or something similar to the color in the pic in order to achieve this look. Thanks again for any and all help...I am in desperate need!...See Morefinally a pic. need help with bathroom corner
Comments (29)thanks guys. still gotta get a mirror for the wall opposite the wall where the towels are hung, glass for the vanity lighting (all 3 broke when the guy was installing the lighting) and a cover for the baseboard heating. when it's all done i'll post pics of the whole room. here's the kinda ironic part of this whole thing. before i even ordered the glass for the shower (the 36x36 base was already in)i was in the bathroom forum and almost everyone suggested that i go with clear glass...if i had done that, i wouldn't be in this pickle! dont get me wrong, as unpopular as it is, i DO like the glass i got, just not the size. but i'm rollin' with it and trying to make the best of the situation....See MoreRelated Professionals
