Bathroom Reno

Here's the before picture with an ivory tub and toilet and a nasty brown 3 piece surround. The surround covers a small window. A set of "Over the Toilet" shelves proudly displays our collection of "Bathroom Stuff".
Here's the before picture from the other side of the room.
The tub has been replaced and the surround is gone. After moving a few studs and replacing the header, we have a new glass block window (light at last!). New plumbing was necessary for the new tub and shower faucet.
Tub to ceiling tile was added with a strip of beach pebbles.The curtain rod was replaced with a fancy piece of wire strung just below the ceiling that gives the tub area a very open look.
Plants hanging from a new shelf in the shower really brighten the room.
Phase II starts. The sink, vanity, toilet and floor have been removed. Our cat inspects the wiring for the in floor heat system.
A new tile floor has been put down.
The only problem with in floor heat is that you always have to step over a sleeping cat!
The cabinet behind the door fills the stud cavity and provides lots of storage for "Bathroom Stuff".
New sink and vanity. The backsplash is the same tile and pebble as the shower.
Four more wall cabinets provide a fair amount of storage.
New halogen lights on a dimmer provide lots of light, but can be turned down so they don't blind.
The bathroom is only 5' wide, but since the vanity and base cabinets only stick out about 14" from the wall, it feels very spacious.
Here's the before and after.
