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:
Don Knowles @ Knowles Contracting 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 Joining: Between Naps on the Porch

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!
