Downstairs Bathroom Remodel Before & After

We decided to remodel our bathrooms this winter.  We started with the downstairs one because it was easiest and needed it the most.  This was the shower before.  It was three sided and the door opened out and hit the bathroom door which opened in.  The floor is painted concrete--the paint didn't last well.

 The vanity and mirror.  Probably the the think that looked the best in the bathroom originally.  If you can't tell very well, the walls were yellow.  Just to make it cheery because the bathroom was kind of dark.
 This was the commode and the shelving behind it.  Notice that it is all open.  The top shelf used to have these wooden shutter doors on that we took off several years ago.  Right behind the toilet it used to be wood paneling which I painted yellow a long, long time ago.
 This is where the shower was.  The bathroom was torn down clear to the studs.

 This is the side wall before.  

 This is the side wall after.  A bit similar but does look better.
 This is the shower before the tile was put up.

Note the cement floor has been stripped down to the bare base.




These are new lights we put in above the sink.


This is the new tile that was put up in the shower.


 This is the base of the shower and and the floor tile that we picked out. We changed it to a circular shower stall instead instead of the sharp cornered one.
 This is the new vanity.


 The new shower looks pretty amazing I think.  Neat glass stall the door slides inside so there isn't a conflict with the door into the bathroom.
 We used the same towel rack and toilet paper dispenser because it fit into the style of the bathroom.

 New shower head in the new shower.  It's like a rain shower.  Really love it.
 New lights above the vanity.  
 New cupboards above the toilet.

 New mirror above the sink.

So all in all it turned out pretty spectacular--at least compared to what it was before.  We went without a ceiling in this bathroom probably for about 2 years.  It has been really awesome to have it it redone.  We love it.
