After months of planning, the master bath finally made it to the top of the priority list! Taking what I saw in my head (scary place, just sayin') and bringing all the individual pieces together was no less challenging then the rest of the house. However, the learning curve was significantly higher as we were both stretched well beyond our comfort zones in an attempt to create a spa-like retreat while keeping it functional for daily use and planning ahead (hopefully WAY ahead) to make it ADA compliant, as we did with the rest of the house.
The bath features a partially enclosed toilet, custom built vanity and linen closet, unique "European" style faucet and "wave" sink bowl. A built in whirlpool tub with heater and matching unique "European" style faucet. The shower features include no-step, barrier free with double shower heads and diverter, allowing the use of one, the other or both shower heads. The complete bath has been custom tiled and trimed.
Mounds of blessings and thanks go to hubby for meeting each challenge with me, finding solutions we can be happy with and meeting the appraiser's timeline! I love this man...especially when he takes such attractive photos of me (see below)! :/
For those interested, I used a Schluter Kerdi Shower kit (link here). I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to tile a shower or tub surround. They have lots of other neat little pieces I didn't find until it was too late to incorporate them (like corner trim pieces to help with visual appeal and cleanablility) so read up and ask more questions then I did! It took me almost a week from beginning to end (they recommend doing it in a day or two) but it still made the process SO much easier.
I still want to add some tiling detail around the tub and possible replacing the trim around the shower with more tile...but not for a while...I need a break!
