When some floor tiles outside our shower came loose, we knew we had a leaking problem in our master bathroom . We had to do something! Living in the Pacific Northwest, it gets quite cold in the winter months and our master bathroom was always the coldest room in our house. I longed for heated tile floors , so we decided to take this shower leak as an opportunity to re-do our master bath so it worked for us. Here's what our master bathroom looked like before we started: Vanity area before: We put tons of thought into our new bathroom design - I was thinking "glammy spa". We ensured we had every decision made on all fixtures, tile, etc. prior to demo. We had everything we would need for the new bathroom in-hand prior to the job starting to avoid any unnecessary delays in our project. We planned it to every last detail. How does that old saying go? "We make plans, and God laughs." Yeah, that applies here... in spades! The first contractor we hired said the full m...

Announcer: Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford , the voice of home improvement , with projects, tips and ideas to help you improve your home. Danny Lipford: We’re right in the middle of a two part renovation called Today ’s Bath, it involves the renovation and updating of two different bathrooms, one being a very small master bathroom that was in this area and then on the other side of the wall even a smaller bathroom that was kind of the guest bathroom and we’re making them a lot larger by encroaching into this area which was once the master bedroom . Now, by taking up this space we were able to create this very nice custom walk -in shower than a very long vanity, two different sinks, and this cozy little niche for the whirlpool tub. Also the existing guest bathroom ’s a lot larger, a lot more functional and we had enough space left over by encroaching into this bedroom to create a very nice...

Master Bathroom Redo   With Tile Shower and Tub  Surround Hello, Dear Ones! I have an exciting post to share with you today. Well, it's exciting for me anyway. We've just remodeled our master bathroom ! Whoopee!! Now I'm going to warn you – you're going to see some pretty scary nasty looking pictures. Turn away now if you're squeamish! Our home is olden – 1970s olden – disco, mirrors, avocado green and harvest gold – keep those things in mind. Yep, I painted the bathroom red. Actually I painted over some nasty wallpaper which I couldn't get off the wall then I added a border! Don't hate me! 🙂 Tadah!! No more red walls and floral border and no more wall to wall mirrors. Now this was just finished last week so I have got some decorating to do but I couldn't wait to show you! Are you excited for me? There's a great big old piece of wall to be decorated. I'm thinking maybe two good sized pieces of art or maybe four? I don't know. The huge mirr...

One look at that big ugly Block tower would be enough to give even an experienced renovator the willies. But trust Suzi, the Blocktagon’s worksite bombshell, to keep up the mood. “And I looked up at his big crane and I said, ‘wow that’s a big crane’. He said ‘I’ve got a lot bigger than this one’,” Suzi says. master en suite ." /> Kingi and Caro’s master en suite .

Hey, what’s it called again when you buy a bigass house with three full bathrooms and none of them contain a working shower ? Oh, right. Irony. That was the story of my life for the first two weeks I owned the Liberty house, and it was mostly due to the fact that the house hadn’t been winterized properly. None of this, by the way, was the fault of the previous owner. In fact, other than some questionable layout decisions in the master bathroom (which you can see photos of here, or with a video impression of just how awkward that toilet placement is here), all of the work the previous owner is exactly the type of work I would do myself. Which is to say some of it was pretty high-end, and a lot of it was half-finished. On the high-end side we have this jetted shower from Delta faucets, which isn’t exactly a cheap throw-er-on-there kind of fixture. When I turned the water on in the house and this thing did it’s best impression of a car wash possessed by demons, my heart sank a little… I...
