Thanks! Yeah, quick and dirty cat door. Didn't bother trimming it out since the door is being replaced. The yarn art is the wifey's choice, in fairness they look better in person than in the picture. |

Sorry, I didn't take a before pic, we live in an old home in the historic district of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. We've had the house for 5 years and have been doing the rooms one at a time. This is a small bathroom, probably the original as we have two other ensuite's now. This is tiny, 6'x6' with 9 foot ceilings. So I put shiplap on the walls and some rustic shelves up, new fixture on the bathtub, with a new sink and sink on a small kitchen cart we had in a previous house to replace the pedestal sink that was there before and a fresh coat of paint. A big improvement IMHO.

We used azek decking for our project (posted on this thread somewhere a few pages back!) but love the stuff. Very solid and super easy on maintenance. Use their plug fill system and zero screw holes which gives it a nice finished look. Pm me if you want more pics I know some are on here from a while back.

Tiny?! Wait till you see what I've been working with. 8'x4'! We jokingly call it our "airplane bathroom." Will post up some pics soon. Just wrapping up the final coat on the vanity I built.
Love the tile you have on the floor! Did you do it or is it original? Wood paneling looks great. Cozy cabin kind of feel. Nice for those cold winters up there. |

Comfortable seating is worth every penny.
Ask my wife, she just bought the cloud couch from Restoration Hardware. I just can't wait for the plumber to finish installing the toto/washlet in the master bath today. I need to have taco bell for dinner to really see what this washlet is all about. |

Finally finished our remodel of the world's smallest 3/4 bath. Just 32 sqft. A real challenge for 2 people to work in there together and not kill each-other. Did all the work ourselves including building the vanity and milling our own base molding from some mahogany that we salvaged from elsewhere in the house. The only thing we had professionally done was loading up the truck with the demolition debris and hauling it away to the dump!
Had to buy a wide angle lens attachment for my iPhone to get better shots of the "after" results. Wishing I had it earlier for the "before". You cant really tell from the before photos but the ceiling of the old shower was dropped a foot. Made it like a little pink tile cave in there. Terrible. We did manage to recondition and save the original 1965 light above the vanity, the light in the shower, and the wash towel holder to the left of the mirror.

Ha! Don't hate on my Dr. Seuss on mushrooms wallpaper. Yeah, it was admittedly a bold choice but whatever, we will love it and whomever buys the house form us can rip it out on day 1 if they want. |

Both bathrooms we have are on the list, too, with the master getting a small extension so we can actually fit a dual sink vanity in there. I like the wallpaper - we're going with terrazzo tiles and a wallpaper feature wall in our guest bath. We're actually going to be putting pink (not Pepto, more grapefruit) back into our master. Inspiration was from the Eichler Palms master bath: |

We thought about extending that tiny bathroom but ultimately backed off on the idea. The house was very smartly designed with literally every plumbing fixture for 2 bathrooms and the laundry room sharing a single drain line. Bumping the bathroom wall out to gain us a few extra feet of space would have meant moving that main trunk over a few feet and relocating the drains for a tub, shower, 2 sinks, 2 toilets, washing machine, and laundry sink. Oh, and literally EVERY supply and drain line in the house is copper! Even the vent stacks are copper. No kidding. Copper prices must have been rock bottom in 1965. Can you imagine wandering into Home Depot today to grab a 3 inch diameter solid copper pipe to use as a vent stack? |

You should check out the "desert Eichlers" - this developer (https://kudproperties.com/) bought the rights to some original Eichler/Anshen and Allen floor plans and built a new Eichler neighborhood in Palm Springs. Pretty cool - the husband/wife team from HGTV Stay or Sell owns that Eichler Palms house and rent it out on Air BnB. Quote:
Thankfully for us, this bathroom extension shouldn't require relocating any major plumbing. |

I'm betting there are others in the neighborhood that are also vacation rentals, though. If we ever build again, the house WILL have a central courtyard and tons of glass like most of the Eichlers do. |

Not sure why I never posted these. From awhile back we decided we needed a bridge to get to other side of property. Most the year it's dry but when it rains totally necessary
