So I got a wild hair one day to demolish a small guest bath in my home. I really had NO plan of action, just that it was really bugging me. It was actually the only room in our home that had never gotten a full makeover. When we moved in we had the tile painted and put in a new sink and toilet. The shower was SO small, about 27 by 27! If you dropped the soap, you practically had to kick it out to bend down and retrieve it! This was originally the master bath. The tile was set in concrete 3 inches thick and the floors were 6 inches thick. Just by removing all of the tile, and taking it down to the studs, we gained 2 inches on two sides of the shower. The last 8 inches were gained buy stealing from a very deep [24"] linen closet.
Here are some before pictures.
This is the pedestal sink we added before we had the yellow tile painted.
The small shower area. I believe that these pictures were taken the day they were getting it ready to paint. The blue you are seeing is the filler for the cracks.
That was the window fan that was there! Yea...like that will keep you cool in "steamy" Atlanta!
Looks like they had started painting.
Don't you just love that shower curtain!
Gutted!!!
OK...it is about to start looking a little better!
"Oyster Bay" 8 by 16 gray limestone. After it was put down, I panicked. It looked so PINK to me! Seriously, I almost ripped it out that night.
Small 1 by 1 for the floor of the same product. After the grout dried, I started feeling a little better about the color.
OK...so here is the same sink. I almost replaced it but because of budget constraints, I decided to keep it. When the faucet was installed, I couldn't believe how good it looked. SO glad that I kept it!
It was a better idea to spend the $$ on the frameless shower door. They are expensive buy oh so pretty!
I did get a new toilet, not expensive, but it flushes SO much better!!! Also, you can see how the horizontal wood turned out!
I did add a little feature on the back of the shower. In hindsight, I wish I had not done this. I was so afraid it would look too plain, but then I remembered that I like plain! I could have saved the money and spent it on something else. I used a gray grout instead of white on the 3 by 6 subway tile. I do love that decision!
Closeup of the window treatment! Burlap, plumbing pipe, and I forget what these things are called....but they worked perfect for rings and gave it a sort of industrial feel.
Just another view of the window.
I painted the whole room, wood, ceiling and trim Ben Moore White Dove. Love that white!
2.95@ yd for white burlap...gotta love it!!!
Last picture!
Whoops, one more! This was an old picture frame which I painted and then took the glass from a mirror that I had and inserted it.
I am so happy with the way it turned out.

Sarah....she was so cute!
One little shot of the coffee table took over an hour!
They move everything around...I probably won't even recognize my own room!
