Master Bathroom Finished

The master bathroom project is finally complete (except for a few finishing touches). We started over two years ago when Katie bought the furniture style vanity cabinet at Costco (Four years ago if you start with the skylight and pocket door installation. In March of 2007, we bought the tile. I started gutting the old bathroom at the end of April, removing a wall and a door that divided the space in two. I took out the old shower, the old toilet, the old vanity and all the old tile. I opened up the floor and moved all the plumbing. The toilet moved over seven feet to another wall with hot and cold water, and the shower drain moved from the west side to the east. Then I built a short wall for the shower fixtures, added two junction boxes for lights over the sinks, a junction box for the make-up mirror that Katie's sister Lisa gave her, a water proof light over the shower, an eyeball light over the toilet, a new main light switch on the south wall, a four-gang GFI by the two-sink vanity, a double-gang GFI by the toilet (for future butt blow-dryer) and a combination heat-lamp/exhaust fan. I also built a custom make-up vanity with a GFI outlet too. Then, I tiled the whole thing in travertine.

Katie is the master designer, and she picked out all the colors and materials including all the rubbed-oil bronze fixtures, which really make the whole thing look amazing. She also provided the artistic input for all the tile work.
