Second Bathroom Makeover

We haven’t completely moved into our newly finished bathroom. But finished it finally is  After 3 years! All the work – Me and Brian (mostly Brian) and my uncle Uno helped with sheetrock and friend Karel helped gutting. We only hired a plumber to do the pipes.

Before & After

 So we totally gutted the place..

We gained extra space by using a built-in cabinet from the room next to the bathroom. We insulated the walls, covered with plastic, sheetrocked, spackled, painted, installed tile on the floor, installed a tub, Brian built a box around the tub, also a drawer on wheels for storage. Brian did all electric wiring and built “floating shelves”. We tiled the box and the walls, new sink from Ikea.

 Mirror from the Thrift Store $2.99

How to make the A/C disappear?

We decided to build a cubby around it. It came out pretty sweet I gotta say. Definitely serves a purpose. Used 2x3-s, 1x2-s, Aluminum vent sheet and pickled oak stain. It opens if needed and is wide enough to hide the electrical outlet.

Bathroom Makeover

This is was our bathroom before

Here's the plan - Get rid of the bathtub, install glass mosaic tiles in the shower area and add glass block half-wall to separate the shower area.

Hidden mirror inside the wall?

Bathroom - totally gutted. The floor was rotted and wood needed to be replaced in some spots.

We made two little ledges into the wall for the shampoos and stuff. I did the tile again but realized that this time it was much more difficult to get it straight. Got the tile again from www.cooltiles.com. I looked at everything on clearance and found a nice yellowish color for $5.00 per sheet.

Thanks to our friends who helped at the end to get it done. Mirror - Thrift Store $2.00, Vanity cabinet - Thrift Store $5.00 Refinished it, sanded, stained, clear coated and waxed.

Storage was an issue, so in between two beams we left this opening for the rolled up towels.

And where that hidden mirror was, we created a tiled hole for.. well, there are always things to put there

It was hard to find a fexible shower head that mounts on the wall. Ordered it online.
