One Day Bathroom Re Do

 

This is my bathroom before picture when we moved into our town home.  The bathroom was outdated and the tub was so high that you had to really step over to get into the shower.  Since we now live in a 55 and older community I wanted to take out the bath tub and have a walk out shower put in.  Since we only have one bathroom I needed this work to be done in one day.  My friend used Bathfitters and was very pleased with their work.  We have used them in our Wheaton home a few years back and loved their work.  Out of all the estimates they had the best price and best reviews.  Since my friend loved them and was pleased with her bath redo we had them do ours.
To make this post clear only the bath tub and shower were done in one day.  The painting and door changes and cabinet painted and new counters were done when we moved in.

This is the final results after one day of them tearing out the tub and shower and replacing the plumbing and shower in one day.  The plumber arrived first and did his thing to make the plumbing work for a walk out shower.  Then the bath fitter guy came and took out the old tub and shower and replaced the walls and floor and then installed the shower.  They were fast clean and I had this completed in less than a day.

I did not want shower doors.  I hate trying to keep the glass clean on those doors.  So I opted to go with a higher walk in base and then I could have a shower curtain instead of doors.  Down the road if I ever want to install doors I can do that.  For now I  will be happy with a pretty shower curtain. 

Simply French Market where I got my bedspread does beautiful work and I  had her make me a custom Shower Curtain like the one shown here.  Teri from Simply French Market on Etsy has some of the most beautiful French chic items she hand makes.  If you would like to see some of her work you can go here.  She does not disappoint with her pieces.  I have not received anything for giving her a shout out.  I just love to share talented sellers that I have used in my home.  
Supporting small business is the best.

Teri will make the shower curtains in any length you want.  I had her do mine at 84 inches.  That is how high the new shower walls were.  I also found a shower curtain liner on Amazon that measured 84 inches so I did not have to have anything custom made for a liner.  

We went from this....

To this.

My bathroom is bright and pretty.  I love having a walk out shower instead of that bulky high tub.  With this being a 55 and older community walk out showers are favored over bathtubs.  I think we made a good decision to have a walk out shower instead of a shower and tub.

I will have my post up this weekend on the Found Cottage Christmas Open house I went to this past weekend in Michigan.   I will also show you Horton's Christmas Market in Indiana.  I will show you some of my treasures found and how cute the shops are.

Have a great week
Hugs.
