Back Up: what happened to our bathroom?

I started this blog with the idea of showcasing the diy projects hubbs and I were doing around the house.  Tackling the bathroom was the biggest (and longest) project we had done yet and every time I go in there, I still can't believe we did it.  So...here are some before photos to remind you of how outdated and dingy the lone bathroom at Hunter Drive was:

                  

Lets just say it left a lot to be desired (and probably wasn't cleaned enough over the years ever).  Here is the bathroom today:

We started the renovation by just about gutting the whole bathroom.  The only thing we kept was the sheetrock and even that mostly came down.  The layout is exactly the same and was probably the easiest way to go.  What we did:

• Wainscotting with trim and a custom "ledge" around the whole room, sink alcove and ceiling
• Changed out the whole vanity and replaced it with a (free) double sink top and custom cabinet
• New mirrors, lighting and fixtures in sink area
• Demolished the cast iron tub and tile walls, installed new tub deep soak tub, imported tile and fixtures
• New toilet and found storage cabinet for over toilet
• Ripped up linoleum floors and rotten sub floor (yuck), replaced with new tile

Cost?  Probably $3,000 in all.  I think the look is much more expensive and luxurious.  Now if we only had a second bathroom...
