Master Bathroom Renovation

Almost a year ago, Brian's parents generously offered to pay for our much needed master bathroom renovation.  It took almost 6 months to get estimates, but we finally got the project going and our contractor (Darin Hudgins of Oak Ridge Carpentry) started work on September 1.  The project took 2 months, which was a bit longer than estimated, but the work was well done and we didn't really have anything unexpected come up.  We LOVE the new bathroom!  Mom and Dad P, thank you so much!!

Our original master bathroom kind of had an odd set-up that involved a lot of  space that felt like it should be in the bathroom, but it wasn't.  The old entry was carpeted and had a linen closet.  The new entry includes a door where one should be and the tile of course covers the entire bathroom floor.

The old space had brass light fixtures and a lovely floating counter top without sinks or cabinets.  It was always a mess because we had no where to store our stuff out of sight.  We decided to knock out the linen closet and put in plenty of cabinetry instead.

Here is the old view of the entry to the original bathroom compared to the view today.  We got rid of the doorway, opening up that entryway.  We opted for a walk in shower where the tub and toilet used to be.  We moved the toilet to the former location of the sink.  Brian's closet was something we weren't willing to lose, so that remained in place.  It may seem a little strange to have a clothing closet in the bathroom, but it works perfectly for us and we were used to it being in that location!

Here is a better view of our shower and new accent tile.  I just love the accent tile!  It's really hard to take pictures in the bathroom, since the space is so narrow, but the shower does include a built in bench on the left.  We are thrilled to be using our new bathroom!  It is so bright, clean and organized!
