Bathroom Projects:

Bathroom 1:

This was a pretty major project to say the least.  I don't have any good before demo pictures due to the bathroom layout, but you can see where there was a large built-in cabinet behind the door.  The shower was an alcove with the old style drop down bulkhead ceiling.  The old shower leaked and caused quite a bit of water damage, so the subfloor needed to be repaired before the cement board and shower pan could be installed.  We also replaced all of the drywall, and added insulation to the exterior wall.  We made the shower stall as wide as we could without having to move the door, and also left a little more space around the toilet as well.  I put in the cement board, water proofing, and tiled everything.  We had the glass enclosure made locally, and they installed it after it was ready.  The flooring is 5/8" thick handmade cement tiles, and the vanity was from Ikea.  There's a lot more that was done here, but those are the high points.

Bathroom 2:

This was another fun project.  We got rid of the old bulky vanity and that made this small bathroom feel so much bigger.  We replaced the flooring with this hexagon penny tile.  Replaced the baseboards, repaired some drywall, and re-textured the walls and ceiling.  The best part was getting to build the custom vanity.  We took this antique piece that was passed down to the customer and we gave it a new life.  I turned the top drawer into a false front and modified the bottom drawer to make room for the sink and plumbing, and still remained as functional as possible.  The countertop was sourced locally.

Bathroom 3:

Another small bathroom transformation.  This started as termite damage in the wall behind the shower head, but we ended up making a more functional and much safer shower in the end.  We already had to remove 1 shower wall to repair the damage, so we went this route instead so the customer gained a useful bathroom instead of paying to fix one that was essentially useless.  We removed the odd shaped corner tub (36"x42"), the wall facade, and the drop ceiling bulkhead.  We only gained about 2 square feet of shower footprint, but the whole bathroom feels much larger now.  I installed the herringbone pattern on the back wall as an accent, and the simple brick pattern on the sides.  I repaired and replaced the drywall, scraped the popcorn and re-textured, and painted.   

Bathroom 4:

Fixing a previous home owners DIY "remodel". The previous owners installed a leaky makeshift bare drywall shower stall that was uncomfortably close to the toilet.  There was also a very large L-shaped vanity that took up most of the already cramped space.  The toilet stayed in place, and we moved the the shower to the other corner.  We fully gutted everything, and moved the drain and waterlines to the new locations.  I insulated all the walls, installed cement board, waterproofed everything, and tiled in the new corner shower.  After I tiled and grouted the floor, I built a cabinet where the shower used to sit.  After I textured and painted, I installed the vanity and shower enclosure.
