"Before" picture: Tub area266 viewsAnother shot of the tub area. The old bathroom was in good condition, just quite dated, and no shower facilities.

Finished product239 viewsHere's a view of much of the right side of the room. We installed a new ceramic floor (which this is about the best glimpse of that these pictures show), new toilet, a safety grab-bar for the toilet, and repainted the baseboard heat register. We also made some repairs to the vanity bottom to make it look and work better (Mom's still deciding if she wants new drawer pulls -- they match some other ones elsewhere in the house)

During: Tub area226 viewsOne final picture at this stage: you can catch a glimpse of the old carpet here (man that stuff was nasty/toxic to remove)
|

"Before" picture: Vanity and Countertop223 viewsHere's a view of the original bathroom's sink/counter area. The old tile was pink. Above the mirror was a very dated flourescent light fixture that wasn't connected to the wall switch -- you had to turn it on via a switch on the side of the light (the wall switch controlled an overhead light).

"Before" picture: Tub area221 viewsHere's the original tub area. No shower, and lots more pink!
|
|
During: New tub surround217 viewsHere's the rear of the tub area. As you can see, we removed the old tile from the entire bathroom, and were able to avoid putting in new sheetrock outside of the tile area (once we cleaned up a bit better after this picture).

In-progress: The tub area213 viewsAt this stage of the picture we had torn out the walls from the tub area, plumbed in a new shower valve, and lined the walls with Hardibacker underlayment.

"Before" picture: Toilet209 viewsThe old, water-guzzling toilet.
