Partial bathroom remodel: ideas needed
Comments (28)ORB will technically work with chrome, yes..speaking of your lighting the rest you'll see after you know your other choices. The hardware need to have smth similar..say you have a lot of round, softer lines(existing lights, trim)-so I'd pick it when choosing faucet too. Unless you want to get away from it-and then existing lighting might or might not work. In short, it's not only about finishes. I would try to keep to the current vintage vibe-easier..and is attractive enough, well at least to me. Checkerboard flooring might be cool..I'm just thinking aloud. now, thank you for mentioning your bathtub and toilet are ivory (lucky you..I like ivory)..yes, something to take in the account, definitely, but easier to work with than with the existing vinyl -vinyl is bossier. can you post a picture of gray vanity with white/gray countertop your daughter envisions? There are many shades to gray..some will be too cool and stark while others might work. Lilac gray. Green gray. If warm enough.. I like the idea of a nice woven shade..will slightly repeat ORB as well, since they share this vibe of warmth, you know?.. I like the idea of deep drawers that mayflowers suggested, perfect for towels. Well deep drawers are kinda great to have whenever....See MoreMaster Bathroom E Plumbus Interruptus: 1906 Colonial
Comments (13)Thanks to all! We've had a pleasantly smooth decision making and construction process up until now.. My wife and I agreed on all major decisions including installing 3 zone central ac w/heat pump, keeping an old oil furnace/steam radiators for wintry days, insulating top to bottom and a full knob and tube remediation, electric service upgrade and all the associated fixture and receptacle decisions. Our original plan was to install a shower head and curtain over the claw foot tub so we could move in quickly and do the bathroom reno on round 2. Unfortunately, the pipes are galvanized and sketchy so with walls open and needing new pipes, we decided to do the bathroom now. Thanks to everyone for contributing your ideas. @joseph_corlett @rwiegand We considered removing the chimney as it needs work to be safely functional. In the long run, we intend to get the fireplace working so it's staying put. That said, from Knob and Tube holes, we are able to see we will get another 4"-6" of space in bathroom as there is significant cushion from wall to chimney. @Diana Bier Pretty sure i failed 1st grade arts and crafts so thanks for bearing with my horrible rendering. Our biggest impediment is that b/c of the chimney, the first 4 ft of bathroom is only 53" wide. @Laura Hill Good suggestion and yes, if we keep existing footprint of bathroom, we would move the bathroom door over about 4" and decrease door framing. If we go with option A and kick out shower in master bedroom, this will buy us an extra 6" of width to allow room for a vanity. Currently, there is only 15" from wall to door frame. @roccouple @Евгений Докучаев We are seriously considering this layout but the 77" exterior wall has a 45" window which renders it useless for sink or toilet. . From my 3rd grader floor plan, very hard to see. Here's a picture of the 77" wall. Facing the window, to the left is the 40' wide x 24" deep toilet vestibule pictured above. Assuming we move entrance to master bedroom and the 88" wall is where toilet, vanity and narrow part of shower lives, could use help with the math. Here is what I know: Toilet: From center to side window wall (direct line from existing toilet placement and plumber needs to align with existing waste pipe) is 18" + 15" to center of vanity. Vanity/Sink: Here's where I get lost with trying to measure from centers of fixtures. What size vanity would fit and not make this feel like a first class airline bathroom - and give us some storage? Shower (36"w 55"l): The shower would go where the current door from hallway is. This would give us a nice long 55" shower and assume it will be 36" wide. Is there a lip outside shower/glass that needs to be accounted for? I see there being a fixed glass panel perpendicular to vanity (26") and perhaps a 30" door with handle on right (chimney wall) and fixtures/plumbing on this same wall....See MoreNeed ideas for how to decorate a narrow bathroom
Comments (4)I am going to take better pictures to add to this once I get home, but here is an old picture of the bathroom before it was repainted that may help! And also adding one to show the layout. Really just looking for ALL ideas as far as how to make it functional but look nice as well. We are going to replace the vanity at some point which I know will make a big difference, but the rest of the bathroom I am stuck on....See MoreNeed help with proper bathroom lighting
