I have a bathroom that is in dire need of an upgrade. There isn't a ton that can be done with the space, but Christ almighty it's a pain in the fucking ass to find anything on bathrooms. Kitchens? Massive amount of design ideas, products, features, whatever. Bathrooms? A couple shitty pinterest posts. If anybody is a non-pinterest user and tries to get anything OUT of pinterest (pictures and whatnot), Seppuku suddenly seems reasonable.
I digress.
Anybody have any features or designs in their bathroom they're proud of?
Essentially mine consists of:
A shower (replaced shortly before I moved in I'm not going to mess with)
72" double sink cabinet vanity
A full length huge ass built in vanity above the sink with bypass mirror doors.
Shit flooring
A closet with bypass doors.
Toilet I probably won't replace.
1 outlet (:-))
The wall next to the shower is just sheetrock with crappy trim that is starting to show some effects from moisture.
I need to get some more electricity in there and probably different lighting. I'm guessing the electricity will require the big wall vanity to come out. If it doesn't I need to do something with the bypass mirrors regardless.
Some dicknose along the way painted all the wood in the house (trim, doors, whatever). Which I wouldn't hate so much if they would have chosen to SAND THE POLYURITHANE OFF FIRST. The fucks. They did not, so it all looks like dog balls.
Don't get me started on venting fucking fans. Whatever fucklehead installed the exhaust fan currently in the bathroom just put the fan in the ceiling and went ahead and put the insulation overtop of the exhaust. What the fuck does that do? Jesus fucking Christ.
Phil made Me a killer bathroom about 10 years ago, and it’s held up great and it’s really freaking awesome. It has a fuck bench in the shower, glass block, and tile everywhere, complete with a custom concrete countertop. I’d give him a call [Reply]

I’d love to but I live in fucking nowhere. I doubt he’d sign on for this commute. [Reply]

Took out floor, toilet, vanity and shower..
Tiled floor and new tile shower to replace the old Fiberglas unit from 1985
Floor had a hump because of a high joist so he had to level it first
Old school tile guy who built the base in place
Vanity matches the kitchen cabinets we had built by a Mennonite cabinet maker, cherry, slide out shelves...countertop is some super $$ quartz, Moen fixtures cause they last forever and even I can replace the cartridge
New toilet is taller....as you get older you appreciate that more and more
Also as you redo bathroom think access when you are 80.....ageproof the bathroom now, seat in shower and great hand bars [Reply]

Fortunately the person that lived here before me got old and spent the old guy money. Talk toilet. Seat in shower. Handle bars. It’s actually one of the reasons that we bought the house. Intend to retire here. [Reply]
6. Don't to crazy with a high end shower panel with jets and all that nonsense, especially if you have hard water (our water is the worst!). It just causes problems with the jets and replacing the valve means tearing out the tile.
You just stomped on my dreams!!! Is it really that bad? [Reply]
1998: master bed room bathroom toilet/vanity and shower/ no window
Gutted everything and installed new floor and walls. Wonder board around the shower and encased the whole thing in tile. New vanity toilet and shower and Put in a heater/fan/light combo in the ceiling
2001: bathroom #2 bathtub/vanity and toilet
Gutted the floor and removed the bathtub toilet and vanity. New floor and tile. Wonder board around bath tub and new tub with tile et al new toilet and new vanity
2009: bathroom #3 toilet and vanity
New tile floor and vanity. Left the toilet.
The first two bathrooms were expensive but were done the right way. if you stay on them (recalk your shower and bathtub) they’ll last a long time
I couldn’t imagine what doing it now would entail. I replaced my hot water heater myself in 2003 and it cost me $400 total for a 50 gallon hot water heater and parts. I drained and left the old one at the curb and the garbage guys took it. And no permit.
Now? Lol I can’t do that anymore. No leaving hot water heater at the curb and you must get a permit. It cost me $1,400.00 for a 40 gallon hot water heater install in 2015. (With permit and disposal)
