The bathroom had to be completey gutted down to the studs. This was the largest renovation job I've every tackled. Considering this was the only bathroom in the house, the 3 weeks it took to redo was challenging to say the least.
I splurged on the bathroom. Kohler tub and toilet. Delta Victorian bronze faucets. I switched the vanity and toilet placement. Originally, there was no window where you see one over the toilet. I used subway style tile over most of the tub except for the two rows of 4x4 at the top. There was orignally a window over the tub, but I replaced it. The big bargain was the vanity top at $119 from Home Depot. It looks like marble and I love the lip around it! The inset nook was a last minute find and I love it - by Racor Nooks, but they said they were discontinuing them! What a shame. The nook has shelves not shown in the photo.
The original ceiling was not sloped, but at only 7 feet high, it felt cramped. To achieve a more spacious feel, I following the roof line to get the sloped ceiling. The lighting is antique and pretty bargain-priced from ebay.
I tormented over the floors, but ended up putting in heart pine. The floors were a little disappointing because I did not realize that new heart pine floors did not have the richness of old ones. If I had it to do over, I would buy salvaged heart pine flooring. They're ok, though. You can't see them in these photos because the painter's paper is still down.
