Bathroom before and after

Since November, the bathroom has been pretty much done and I've wanted to get this post up.  It's pretty late, but here goes.  All we have left is put some artwork up and some small accessories like a face mirror for the wall, but as of now we pick the most annoying things to work on so these are low priority.

Here are the pictures:

BEFORE: This is a view from the bathroom door.  The white and aqua quilt on the wall covers a window.

BEFORE: This is the front right corner with the toilet in it.  The wet wall separates the toilet from the tub which is in the back left corner.

AFTER: Here is the same corner, which now has the sink in it.  We wanted a double vanity, but there was just no way to fit it given that we also wanted a big tub and a heated towel bar.  Something has to go in an 8 x 8 bathroom from the 1950's!

BEFORE: This is the tub, which is in the back left corner.  From this angle, the door would be on your left and the window on your right.

AFTER; The tub is still in the back left corner, but now it runs along the back wall instead of along the left wall.  The heated towel bar is visible next to the tub and it's protected from water by the frosted glass panel.  The panel also hides the tub spout, shower curtain and shower controls which makes the room look very clean and minimalist which is how I like it!  The shower curtain is clear, and when you shower it feels really spacious because the tub is large and the curtain is clear.  The vertical post is a commercial-quality handicapped grab bar that we had custom made.  The stepover into the tub is both high and wide and we wanted to make it as safe as possible.  It's also in just the right spot so it's really clear you are supposed to grab the post and not the glass, tub spout, etc.  I'm really pleased with how this came out.  It was an absolute bear to figure out and get done, but it did come out really nice.

AFTER: This is what the shower looks like from the inside.  

BEFORE: This is the middle and front corner of the right side of the bathroom.  The door is on your right and the window is on your left.  The storage closet is in the front right corner of the bathroom.

 AFTER: This is the same spot, but looking more toward the floor.  The toilet is where the sink visible in the picture above was, and we replaced the existing closet with a smaller one.

BEFORE: This is the back right corner of the bathroom.

AFTER: This is the back right corner of the bathroom.  We relocated the window more toward the corner.  It was originally where the wall niche is now.  To use up the space below the window, we put in a tiled block that has a towel cubbie and a drawer in it. You can see the towels sticking out in the photo above of the toilet.  This is one of the few things our worst contractor did well.  This was his idea and it both works well and looks sharp.  

Finally, this is a shot of the floor.  The tile is fine, but it isn't what I wanted.  The store made a huge screw up and it was a big hassle to get it fixed.  I ended up taking the tile they erroneously got for me even though I don't love it.  

There you have it!  Overall, we're happy with the bathroom.
