Remodeled Basement Bathroom


We have been working hard to get our basement bathroom all remodeled. We needed to get it done before our Club came to our house on 12/10. We worked on it for about 4 weeks and finally finished up the afternoon of 12/10. None too soon huh?


After having Heather tell us again (and again and again) how to do a new blog we are hopefully finally having success. We will write it down and will maybe find the instructions when we need to do it again. It might be easier if we did this more than twice a year.

Here are some pictures of the finished project.



Here is a new picture we put on the wall over the tub.


We had the cabinets painted graphite which is a dark gray.  This picture is lighter than it really looks. Notice the new knobs that match the fixtures.  The fixtures are called pewter and the knobs are brushed nickel.  You can see the new tile here that we put on the floor.  This picture shows the color better than the other pictures.  It took about 4 hours of hard labor chiseling up the old tile off of the concrete floor.


Here is our new counter top with the new faucets.  Notice that the countertop now matches the window sill that started all of this!



The counter top again with the new picture.  We made two frames and had beveled glass put in.  Of course, we had to tear down the large mirror first,


Here's the cracked glass tile we put around the tub.  The two sides of the wall are dark brown and the other side is light brown.  We also replaced the plumbing fixtures.  By the way, this tile was a real learning experience to put in.  Painting is another of the remodel that was a pain for your dad.


Here's our new double towel rack with towels.


The old tub with the new tile and new fixtures.  It is no longer a shower.  That opens up the room a bunch.



Here is more of the bathroom with the square sinks.

Yay! It looks beautiful! Why was the painting such a pain? I thought that would be the easiest of it all.

Yup, the bathroom looks great!! Didn't you say dad didn't like all the corners he had to paint? And that was what made it so hard?
