Bathroom Before and After

Before: we had a bi-fold door that was always in the way
After: they cut through the sheetrock and put in a pocket door (plus re-painted our bedroom wall)


Before: nasty old wallpaper and insert plastic shower with brassy gold framing



Ghetto




After: new wallpaper and custom tiled shower with new hardware and framing


They made the shower taller, a bit wider and added a travertine ledge





tiles on the shower floor


Before: big, boring bathroom tub



After: travertine decking, new hardware and jetted whirlpool tub with custom cabinets


You can kind of see the new tile on our floor in this picture. We replaced the 12x12 old tile with new 18x18 ceramic tile (you can also see the antique french detail on my tub cabinets)


After: we replaced the wallpaper and all of the crown molding (plus scraped the popcorn off of the ceiling and painted the ceiling and all of the trim)



Before: old mini-blinds and old counter tops around tub


After: travertine counter tops around tub and we took down the blinds. We're replacing them with Plantation Shutters but they won't be ready for another couple of weeks (they're custom)...will post picture after they're installed


Before: old closet door with brass framing


After: new closet door


Before: old ceiling fan on popcorn ceiling


After: new ceiling fan on freshly painted ceiling


Before: old potty and old potty room with cheap cabinets


After: custom cabinet and new (taller) potty


We even have a new toilet paper holder :)





And I threw out all of our old towels and bought new


Before: old lights and one gigantic mirror


After: new lights with individual mirrors


Before: old counter tops and cabinets (plus look at old floor)

Old counters didn't extend out to tub

Old cabinets

After: new travertine counters, two new mirrors, new lights, new sinks, new hardware...the counters and cabinets were built longer to take up that extra space

Up close to new cabinets, custom built to look country French


Andrew's side with new medicine cabinet built in

New medicine cabinet (they cut out the sheetrock and built it in)


3 long weeks, lots of workers, even more dust, tons of noise, some money :)...all worth it to have the bathroom we wanted. Yay!!!
