My remodeled upstairs hall bathroom — Japanese oasis.
Comments (21)Thank you! This is the window film. I chose Petals. Super simple to put on. Only took a couple of weeks to arrive. It was sheer luck that the pattern fit so perfectly https://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com/SearchResult/usd0&key=Window%20screen...See MoreWould appreciate ideas for a 4' by 10' gutted bathroom redo.
Comments (20)Yay, more ideas! We discussed opening the door toward the inside, but haven't decided on that yet. It currently opens into a bedroom, not a hall. This is an old, 5 panel door that matches the other doors in this old house, so I want to keep it. Doesn't lock, unless we happen to find a skeleton key to it. Husband will look at the wall and any potential of a sliding door. We will probably get a heater, vent, fan unit, with a night light. While the heated floor is a nice idea, our other tile bathroom floors don't have this, so I think an overhead heater will be enough to heat this small of a room. We definitely will want a recessed light in the shower. We are lowering the original 12' ceiling down to 10', as is the rest of the house. We do plan on putting up grab bars on all three sides in the shower. Prob won't all around the toilet yet, but but that option will be there. I do plan on a paper holder that includes a grab bar. We have looked at both a fold up shower seat or can put a shower seat in there later on if the need arises. I am not sure there is enough space for a built in one. I don't have any experience with a wall faucet over the sink, but seems like it would have less cleaning around it. We didn't see any at the stores we happened to be at, so had decided on a single handle regular one, and we both liked the idea of mounting it on the side of the sink. There are some examples of sinks done this way somewhere on this site. I like the idea of a recessed mirrored medicine cabinet over the sink. There are some very nice looking ones available, and it also would match the age of the house. I don't think anything too modern looking would match this house. I probably will go with a classic traditional look. Beside the toilet, I am not sure if I want a stack of shelves or just cabinet height. Either way, I wondered about open shelving with baskets instead of making room for cabinet doors. So funny someone mentioned space for a trash can, and have one beside each toilet in other bathrooms or under the sink. I have sort of marked off this space to compare to a bathroom we are now using. We don't have mobility issues, so I can't really tell about how easy it will be to move around as with a disability. The shower floor is a stock size at 3'x4', so I assume it is a common size. I am needing to compare quality and price to various sold surface shower floors and walls. I esp like the idea of no more grout to clean, as our other two bathrooms are tiled....See MoreWhat is a reasonable amount of time to gut & remodel full bath
Comments (14)I think it's a given that high speed bathrooms are going to be used by people who have one bathroom or a pressing need for as speedy a remodel as possible. I have no first hand experience with these companies but they do the job in Los Angeles which is permit city and a bath in about a week was done in a New York City condo - which also would have inspection constraints. Presumably their business model includes being able to precisely time the necessary inspections and be able to start work as soon as the inspector leaves - and I am assuming that these people know how to do things to pass inspection on the first round. I don't think it produces a result that is subpar in terms of quality issues necessarily - except to the extent that as palimpsest posted, you are probably dealing with a nice but not aspirational bathroom since you are choosing from finishes they are supplying - at least in terms of the companies I am familiar with. I had an acquaintance who had her kitchen remodeled by a similar type of kitchen in a week company. Obviously this kind of remodeled kitchen isn't for the kind of people who people houzz forums but for the average person who just wants an updated kitchen, it would be fine. Again, I would suspect that their client base is limited to those for whom prolonged kitchen remodels would really be impossible. For those of us, for example, who live in condos, there is no way to escape the construction - no place to set up an auxiliary kitchen as one can in a larger house - and so the only solution is to move out during the construction as I am forced to do. It's not cheap in terms of paying rent for my crash pad and it's not particularly comfortable to be living with most of one's belongings packed away in storage....See MoreBathroom remodels or gut?
Comments (4)I would paint the cabinets and walls. A great paint for cabinets is a brand called Fusion Mineral Paint. Lots of great colors, very durable, and very easy to use. Then change out the lighting, faucets, and if necessary the wall fixtures to something you will want when you remodel. That way everything can be re-used, and you can update each bathroom for a few hundred dollars. https://fusionmineralpaint.com/...See Moremmmm12COzone5
