Before & After, Master Bathroom
We've been in our house for 26 years. I hated this bathroom wallpaper then and now, but it became invisible to me after awhile. The room was divided into two choppy spaces. The vanity and closet area was carpeted in a lovely rust/brown delight. There was faded vinyl in the tub & toilet area. For whatever reason, I couldn't bring myself to photograph the tub/shower combo and toilet. There was also a linen closet in there.
As you can see, I tried out various paint colors on the wallpaper (it was hard to mar such beauty) before settling on Sherwin Williams Sea Salt for the walls and SW Pure White for cabinets and trim.
Excuse the bad angles. I found it much harder to get good pics of the bathroom in comparison to when we remodeled our kitchen/breakfast/den/laundry/powder room four years ago.
Here goes:
The sinks and hardware are stylin'.
The REAL before picture had crap all over that white cabinet counter. The cabinets had no shelves inside, which rendered them impotent. (Can cabinets be impotent?)
After. Do we think there was a slight improvement? We do!

Before & After $17k Full Master Bathroom Remodel (Modern)
Comments (97)We generally prefer historical cost basis over any time of assessment, so what you paid for an item. However, one problem with the historical cost basis for ad valorem taxes is it adjusts for realized gains and losses while not adjusting for holding gains and losses. This means that two identical houses would pay two different taxes based on the last time they were sold. This isn't quite fair so to remedy this, ad valorem taxes are occasionally adjusted to compensate somewhat for holding gains and losses. In other words, we don't want people who bought 3 acres next to Central Park 65 years ago, to be paying property taxes on $100,000 when an identical property next door pays taxes on $15,000,000. That is the entire purpose of adjusting property values. Improvements aren't simply holding gains, it is putting money into the structure so that it is nicer. If you want to fairly tax improvements you would need a tax on the increased value less a tax credit the amount paid over the marginal assessment value. So, the premise that you have some moral obligation to pay marginally higher taxes because you spent $50,000 for a nicer kitchen that adds only $20,000 to the property value, is one I find questionable. In other words, if you paid more for the remodel than it added in property value you should get a tax credit against the increase. However, that is far too complicated and thus taxing jurisdictions who are acting efficiently and attempting to be fair, avoid increasing valuation for improvements and replacements, but do increase valuation for additions. Now this is completely different than rules that allow select groups to avoid assessment for holding gains and losses....See More1966 straight to 2018 - before and after bathrooms
Comments (10)@Mrs Pete Thanks for the compliments. I'm not that great at envisioning the end result and was a little nervous about it, but wanted to add some pizzazz and our tile guy really knew how to guide me in the selection. The colors don't show as well in these photos, but it coordinates quite nicely. The floor was meant to be the real star of the show. The bottom niche is actually a foot prop for shaving my legs, so yes, I thought the grab bar could be quite handy, especially as we age. I really liked the fact that the mirror would let more of the glass tile show in that area since you can see behind the edges and also that it tilts for a better view of your entire outfit. Thanks for your comments!...See MoreSmall master bathroom - Before & After
Comments (22)Hi Noah, I am so glad that you are pleased with our work. I am very thankful that you decided to go with the renderings that Marblus created for you. I know we all worked very hard on that. I am also very excited that you implemented my of our suggestions like going with a natural walnut vanity cabinet for your Master Bathroom . I truly believe that our ability to provide you, our customer, with an excellent 3D renderings for the Kitchen and Master was an exceptional touch. It was such a pleasure to work with you and watching our ideas unfold into a beautiful remodel. Thank you – Leo Palacios...See MoreBathroom Remodel Before, in Progress and After Pictures
Comments (12)@thisisnotadrill We had the bathroom stripped to the studs, so we installed a 2x6" notched into the framing (note this was not a load bearing wall) the full length of the vanity. We reinforced the inside of the vanity boxes with large L-brackets and screwed those into the 2x6" (behind the drywall at this point). If you can, it's undoubtedly better to buy a vanity made for wall mounting but we made it work and it's very sturdy. Good luck!...See MorePatti

last yearThank you! The shower tile is made by Equipé, the line is Splendours, and the color is White (3154), even though it looks gray. The one below it is the actual gray .

last yearAh! Yes! I’m familiar with Equipé! Don’t think I can afford to do that in our whole shower. 😅.
I like your floor tile, too. I found a flooring place that can order it. Just having trouble seeing anything that goes with my FB countertop. It’s lighter than yours.
