There have been a few luxurious bathrooms in our travels, one in London, another in New York City, another in Estonia, that when we saw them, M said, one day, she wanted a bathroom like that. The styles were usually open, a walk-in type shower without a door, lots of tile, glass, multiple shower heads, and towel warmers. I never thought we'd actually ever have one of those bathrooms, it was more just a pleasant fantasy. Then when M's mom gave us a gift so we could remodel the bathroom, we had to try to get a special bathroom. This picture above is a basic bathroom walk-in shower that we thought might fit our budget. We weren't sure if we had space for it.
M and I had to agree on tile. She wanted something basic, modern, and clean looking. I wanted something traditional and classic that would fit the age of the house. I was thinking a black and white bathroom, M was thinking grays. We both agreed on subway tile, kind of like this picture above.
When we went to pick out the gray subway tile, we also picked out this mosaic tile for an insert to break up the solid wall of gray tile. When we had people come give us estimates to remodel the bathroom, we thought we might need to expand the bathroom to get what we wanted, which is what ended up happening. We ended up gutting the whole bathroom down to the studs, which was a good thing considering past disasters the previous homeowner left us, and considering what we found when these walls were removed. Okay, honestly, the next post will be the demolition.
