Purchased 1950's home and have been working hard on the renovations. Knocked out wall between toilet and sink (see before picture. Shopped sales and had fun selecting accessories while staying on a budget. Will post pictures of other rooms soon. Guess we never quite finish...always a work in progress! Suggestions appreciated.

We updated a late 80's bathroom which had a large jetted tub with tile surround that encompassed most of the bathroom. We used a free standing tub with floor mounted plumbing fixtures. The shower was enclosed and very claustrophobic. We opened it with frameless glass shower doors and beautiful tilework. The mirrors were updated by framing them and the countertops, plumbing and light fixtures were all updated.

This bathroom was in great need of a remodel. The tile in the shower and on the vanity counter were dated and ugly peach. Even the tub and sink were peach and the fixtures were tarnished brass and old. The floor was a fake looking stone linoleum in peach and gray. It had a box light over the mirror.

We started the remodel by selecting the vanity first which came with a black granite counter with white porcelain sink already attached. We stuck to white porcelain tub and toilet to match. To keep the small room from looking smaller, I decided to go with grey contemporary 12 X 24 tiles for the floors and the shower wall. We went with an liner of black and grey glass tiles mixed with some natural slate, which matched the wood in the vanity. I then found some lovely towels of blue and grey and matched the paint color to the blue. We also removed the light box and installed a vanity light over a framed mirror in brushed nickle to match the brushed nickle fixtures. Lastly, we had a 3/8" "S" curve glass sliding door installed.

Another parcial gut job. This house was bult around the turn of the last century. It is in the front yard of the Kentucky State Capitol building. We wanted to return it to it's original glory. Marble floors, lots of chrome, a tile design from years ago, wainscotting and a vanity right out of the 20s. Fun project!!
