At long last, bathroom renovation pictures



Our new bathroom! Woo-hoo! We are so happy with the change that the renovation has made. These are the new mirrors and lights along with the vanity and quartz top. It is a big change from the wall covered with a frame-less mirror , white painted cabinet, and gray Formica counter-top.



The shower wall on the right was moved so that the shower is now about a foot wider than it used to be. We can't get over how much that small off a change is such a big difference. The shower walls are tiled to the ceiling with a great border. The soap dishes are high, recommended by the tile guy, so that things are out of the water. I guess some might not like them so high, but we do. The shower floor is two inch matching tile, small so it is not slippery, the walls are six inch tile, and the room floor is done in the same tile at twelve inches. So much better than painted-over wallpaper and peach (broken) floor tile. The shower sprayer is such a huge improvement with a valve in it that prevents bursts of hot or cold water when someone runs the water in other parts of the house.



Instead of the old gray jacuzzi, we now have this claw foot tub with a wand sprayer in the faucet. Love it, love it.



While our bathroom isn't big, and we didn't change the footprint of the room except for the shower wall, it is like a whole new room. Next up, ugh, foundation repair. But then we will contact Stanford Home Renovation again and get the other bathrooms updated and move on to a few other ideas we have simmering on the back burner.

  1. Its amazing how just a slight change to a shower.... can make all the difference in how refreshing and comfortable they are. In Chicago, we still have tub/shower combos, and if we have to go back to that house.... remodel... in the Master bath for sure. Trading in the combo for a walk in shower!

  2. I LOVE your tub! It looks so comfortable for soaking in and so much more attractive than some of the big hideous jacuzzi tubs that you see.

  3. I absolutely LOOOOVE it! Great choices in color and simplicity and sophistication. It made it up to date and neutral for any others in the future. I am crazy about it! My favorite part is the claw foot tub. I have always wanted one but it hasn't fit in the budget just yet. Maybe one day! So happy for you guys!
