Master Bath

A couple of months ago, we looked at a bathroom that we were asked to redesign, and I showed you several design options that had been presented to the client. Here are some "before" pictures to refresh your memory.

Before a final plan was even chosen, the homeowners stripped down the wallpaper in anticipation of getting underway...I guess they had had enough of the spring green pattern! With a couple of more sessions, a final plan was agreed on. As is often the case, it involves elements from more than one of the original design choices offered. And now, work is well under way.

Since the bathroom is over their garage, the homeowner had the terrific idea of opening a hole in the floor so that the demo material could be dumped directly into a construction trailer below.

This was also a great way to bring in new construction materials, and avoid a lot of mess and tracking through the house...well, all except the bathtub, which wouldn't fit between the floor joists. This 550lb. fixture required 4 men to maneuver it up the stairs and down the hall. It has found it's temporary home in the adjoining bedroom.

Everything has been ripped out, and new framing is in for the shower (which will now be glassed in on one side), the water closet and sauna. New overhead lighting is in as well.

And when the mess and fuss of a construction project like this gets you down, what helps?

Frankly, there is very little that a good box of mixed chocolates can't fix!
