Some "Before" Pictures

Here are pictures of our current master bathroom, which had a low-cost remodel done shortly after moving in.  The primar focus was to expand the shower from the original 3x3 stall.  In addition, the original vanity and tiled counter-top (with huge grout lines!) had to go.

First, a shot from the master closet:



 
You can probably tell that the expanded shower pan is a standard sized fiberglass unit, which are a little too short for the space, so about an inch of gypcrete (?) board was added under the tile on the far wall to make it flush.  But otherwise it was easy to install, at least compared to our remodel concept where the shower floor starts level to the rest of the bathroom and slopes down to the drain (which may not even be feasible).


The main issue with this shower is that I should have raised the height of the showerhead, because we have to duck under to get your hair wet.


 


The vanity cabinet was actually custom built by a friend-of-a-friend that does mostly kitchen cabinets.  The countertop is a standard 48-inch Corian prefab unit that was relatively inexpensive.  This setup is very functional with lots of storage, but not very attractive, despite the cool drawer pulls I found.  Just too much white, and somewhat hulking.
