My brother Josh {an avid NON-reader of this blog...thanks bro!} and sister-in-law Molly live about 2 miles away from us in Reston. In an odd coincidence, their house number is "Sixteen Forty-One," which is pretty close to good old Sixteen Fourteen.  :-) 

They've been in their house for about 3 years, so they’re starting to get around to some pretty major projects...including the bathrooms.  They completed the master bath a couple of weeks ago, and plan to tackle the guest bath next.  

The Lowdown
Floors: Dated linoleum
Walls: "Builder white"
Shower: Old, peeling white plastic
Vanity: White vanity with extraneous "columns"

Like the good blog-relative she is, Molly had the presence of mind to take "before" shots! 
Here are the old linoleum floors:
Here's the shower before.  Clearly, there was a peeling problem!
Here's the vanity, which is just outside the room with the shower and toilet.  
Apparently someone got creative with the...columns? 
 Also, the off white wall-to-wall carpet wasn't ideal for a bathroom area.
And now...the fabulous "afters!" This was a true gut renovation {my favorite kind, of course!}
Here's the shower, with the beautifully done tile work:
Here's the shower floor.  Isn't it gorgeous?
Everyone loves a brand-new, shiny toilet, am I right?
I love the floors:
And the brand-new vanity, minus the half-wall and spindly column things, 
with tile instead of white wall-to-wall:
The project summary is quick: They used an awesome contractor who took care of everything:

Josh and Molly, thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous master bathroom renovation!
I can't wait to see how the NEXT bathroom comes out {you know I'll be there, camera in hand!}
Love you both! xoxo

What a fabulous improvement! That had to be a gut job in order to fix all of that. I had no idea those showers would peel...goodness. Their contractor should read your post!

Thanks Kelly! I agree with you...I'd seen it before, but never noticed how much work it needed until it was gutted and redone! :-)
