"It looks like one of those bathrooms you see in a fancy Spanish hotel" remarked the tile installer. "It's nice to see something different being done. Classy," he expressed with pride admiring his work and thank us for the chance to work with again.
We moved into a house that was built in 1972. It hasn't been updated since the trendy owners/builders put up the gaudy butterfly wallpaper and installed fluorescent bar lights on the sides of the mirror. (You should see the harvest-gold festival in our kitchen...
We would LOVE to renovate this space into a contemporary guest/master bath if such a quandary is possible.

We wanted to bring the feeling of the beach to our old 1962 bathroom. I got my large shower under tile heat and low flow toilet. We love it. Mark & Dan

Master bath cabinet renovation using Rustoleum's Cabinet Transformations in Espresso w/the optional glaze. Then gutted the shower surround to the studs and installed a Kerdi shower system. Sparkling glass/travertine/marble mosaic tiles and new fixtures transformed space. A frameless glass shower enclosure is the "piece de resistance." A crinkled tissue paper technique and taupey-gray paint, new linens, rugs and accessories (mostly from Home Decor completed the room!

The second DIY project we took on in our 70's house was the master bathroom. Before it was another small, dark room in the house with a mix of 70's and 80's fixtures. We brightened up the space by adding recessed lighting in the ceiling above the vanity, toilet and shower. We couldn't create more space, but we created the illusion of space by taking down the shower wall and having a glass shower enclosure installed by a shower door company (splurge. We saved by purchasing a "spa like" shower unit on-line. It fits onto existing plumbing so we didn't have to add extra plumbing for shower jets. We also saved by doing our own tile work with porcelain tile that looks like stone. Another save was using kitchen cabinetry to create the vanity. We made the vanity feet with about $35.00 worth of spacer, a cabinet company wanted almost $500.00 for just the little feet! We used inexpensive sconces and an off the shelf faucet, sink and toilet from a couple of the big home stores Our final save was buying a granite remnant for the vanity top; the color is verde peacock. We splurged on the glass and stone accent tile and heated flooring. The master bath may still be small, but now it looks like it belongs in the 21st century.

Former mother-in-law kitchen and small vintage tile bath fuse to make a luxurious modern spa-like retreat. Howard Elliot mirror and custom Susan Jablon glass mosaic tile play off of each other to ignite this lusciously semi-retro remod.

Completely gutted bath. Was 8ft ceilings now up to 11 ft. Removed tub and added a shower of Golden White quartzite tiles with Turquoise River Rock shower floor and wall detail. It feels if you are showering in a cool cave. Comments?

Our 60's bathroom has double sinks and a funky vanity in a mirrored room with blond cabinets and wall to wall carpeting. The toilet is behind a pocket door and you must go thru that tiny room to get into the shower. The steam shower has a bench and a glass tile wall but you have to step down into the space. Running parallel to this space is a walk-in closet and a large storage room with a sunken broken jacuzzi tub near sliding glass windows. We would love to use that space to expand the bathroom and make the layout more functional and contemporary
