DIY & Home Improvement

We have a very small master bath and wanted to replace the tub with just a shower. I googled images first and was able to find lots of pictures with the same configuration as our bath.

My husband ripped everything out. Ordered the shower pan, soap niche, and shower seat online. Took out the drywall around the fixtures. We did bring in a professional plumber to replace the plumbing behind the wall. Husband did part and plumber did the rest.

We found tile in a local store and husband did all of the tiling. Already had a new toilet waiting to be installed. Found a vanity/sink combo that we liked and bought it. We had previously purchased the faucet set. Found a new light fixture and fixtures for the shower. Still need to purchase towel bar, toilet paper holder, towel ring, and switch plates. Husband bought 6 inch boards for the base trim and we still need to look for some molding to cover flaws near the ceiling. We discovered why the previous owner had installed the molding, lol.

We ordered a door for the shower but it has not been installed yet.

I chose the paint and am not totally thrilled with it but it is so much brighter than before so we'll live with it for a while.

I plan to total all the expenses once we're done but as I talked about in an earlier thread, the real cost seems to be labor! I consider this a middle class remodel because we didn't need custom everything or high end fixtures. This was a 50's bathroom so the change is dramatic even though it did not cost a fortune.
