Here are a few before and after pictures of our upstairs hall bathroom! While doing the renovation, the contractors found a newspaper from the 1970s in the wall.... clearly the last time the bathroom was touched!
The old tile was horrible blue all the way up the walls. However, after we moved in, we discovered that there was no cement board or other waterproofing layer behind the tile. As a result, water had found its way through cracks in the old grout into the wall and was causing a little bit of water damage in the wall.
The new shower actually has all of the plumbing in the wall, instead of this weird hand-held showerhead.
I also love the "nook" that Gene installed in the front of the shower. He had to route the plumbing around the shelf, but it turned out great and is so convenient to have right in the front of the shower.
I think Cillian was a little sad to see this old sink go, but it is so much better to have the new sink and vanity for storage below.
This picture is a watercolor of the local one-screen theater in our neighborhood. It looks perfect with the new bathroom.
Local one-screen theater? I think you mean the world-famous Uptown Theater, home to the world premier of, among others, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Dances with Wolves! Ignore the fact that the projector broke down twice during the latter.
