Master Bathroom Transformation


This was back in June before we move into the house. We have total 2 and a helf bathrooms in the house but due to limited budget, we only remodeled the master bathroom. This was a nothing-will-stay project. As you can see the original bathroom was extremely small, the toilet was in a wired position that you can't even close the door without standing next to it. The draws and space next to the toilet were also a totally waste because you won't even be able to open the drawers...

Our plan was to remove EVERYTHING in this bathroom, relocate the toilet, install a new tub/shower combo, new glass door, new tiles, new vanity and install some recessed lighting. It was a big project especially when it involved plumbing and electrical, we better not mess up so we decided to hire a contractor for this project. 

Before:





As you can see in the picture on the right, there's not much space you can stand, not even for one person.



In Progress:


EVERYTHING's GONE

Toilet was already relocated to the corner 

Putting up wall tiles around the shower

Floor tiles done! Love the color of the tiles!


Finished:




Viola !


DONE! yeah! I can't believe it took less than 2 weeks! and the outcome was amazing! Although we have hired a contractor, we did pick and purchase almost everything ourselves. We could not be happier with everything we have picked!

Here is a complete list of where we got everything:

Toilet: Lowes
Shower door: Lowes
Vanity sink: Ikea - hemnes
Faucet: Ikea - LUNDSKÄR
Mirror cabinet: Ikea - hemnes
Wall paint: Valspar - Moonbeam

You can also find these item at my Pinterest :)

One thing we did ask the contractor to modify is the vanity mirror. Because I am a small person (5'1), the original mirror from Ikea was too long with the shelf space at the bottom, I won't be able to see myself without standing on the stool... (I know..)

so that's what we asked


and it comes out beautifully :)
