I would have sworn that this sink was the original in the house...or at least the vanity. Also pretty gross... one of the previous owners tried to make an improvement by adding the bead board. It was just a bandaid for a much needed remodel.
Our floor was a tile laminant on top of some other laminate. The pieces were loose and would sort of squish under your feet. This toilet overflowed on us once and after that, I always had the bath mats down. Squish...squish...
Demo...
Removing the cast iron tub was the toughest part of the project. Now, notice that in the original picture, it was some vinyl tub and shower over the orignal tub and tile work. They have these guys come out and give you a new bathroom in a day. Another bandaid solution...
Ahhhh...sweet progress...I went with the subway style tiles. I love it. You can't see it but I had them tile out two ledges for shampoos and stuff. They're about 8"x 12" in size. I also had them put the floor tile on diagonally. I really like how it turned out. New toilet...comfort height. Granite counter with undermounted sink, java colored cabinets, and Delta Victorian hardware. I'm so pleased. The color looks baby blue in these pictures but it's more of a light blue gray...close to Restoration Hardware's silver sage color. It's a great contrast.
Still working on finding the right hardware for the vanity and the wall storage cabinet. These are not the final pictures. We still have to hang the mirror, light, and wall cabinet above the toilet and the bathroom accessories. So although the major work is done, we are still not using the bathroom. And it needs a major cleaning too.
And here is our new entryway kneewall and column. We will have two more just like this upon entering the dining room. The painters have done an amazing job at fixing up the walls. We have painted wallpaper in every room of the house. (one of the those things I wish our real estate agent would have picked up on. ) And all the flaws are showing. It was a ton of work to fix up the walls in the hallway, and soon the living room and dining room walls will both be smoothed as well. Demo on the kitchen starts towards the end of the week. I'm suppose to be packing up. It's been really exciting to see the transformation. The new trim work looks wonderful. I love the new base trim.
