Sorry guys…is it already the end of the week? Where did it go? I had some posts to put up, but that got neglected. The good news for me is that my bathroom is done and it’s clean and beautiful. A room to now enjoy.
A bathroom renovation is certainly no piece of cake, so you might see it fit to utilize the services of professionals, like Remodel Works Bath & Kitchen , where needed. We ended up keeping the tub, and I spent an afternoon scrubbing all the stains with Lime Out. Seriously, I scrubbed until my hands were raw, but it worked. And it now looks new. I’m so glad we decided to keep it because that tub style is very hard to find. And I’m glad that we didn’t have to re glaze the tub. After doing some research we found out that it’s not so great with children and everyday use.
Since we had to have a plumber re-pipe the whole bathroom, I had them take out the large radiator and move the sink to that opposite wall. Good decision because we acquired more vanity space. We put a toe-kick heater in place of the radiator, which is located under the vanity. You could consider doing the same if you are looking to make more space in the bathroom. Just make sure you get a professional plumber, like Sarkinen Plumbing, to do the repiping and removing of the radiator. We reccomend, if you’re looking for heating solutions for your bathroom, that you check out the reviews for such products over on AnyHeater.com.
I bought many of the fixtures from Vintage Tub–great online resource if you want the vintage bathroom look or need to replace vintage bathroom pieces. We learnt so much throughout the process of renovating our bathroom, as it may not have been surprising that we were required to overcome a number of different obstacles. We were well prepared for most of them and even had some advice given to us by friends explaining what plumbing mistakes to avoid so it was probably a good job that we got in touch with a local plumbing in our area to help us when it came to having new things fitted. You should keep reading to find out what some of them were. Prices are good. Below is a list of other resources and before pictures.

WOW! Looks fantastic. You did an amazing job. The radiator/vanity move really did give you a great layout.
I LOVE IT!! Love how everything came together perfectly. I can't wait to see it.
Beautiful! Such a soft and relaxing room. Our guest bath is getting a face lift this month and you have helped me get some great ideas and resources. Thanks!
Wow, what an amazing difference! You did a great job in orchestrating the reconstruction.
I'm just so impressed with how quickly you guys got this done. And also the whole scrub the tub thing with Lime Away – how are you possibly doing this with an expanding tummy in the way?? I'm dying when it comes to weeding, painting projects – pretty much every bending exercise on the planet. You are awesome!
Thanks for the link on the bathroom fixtures. I will definitely look at that in the coming months…
Oooh, I love it. Everything you picked goes together so well. It looks simple and classic.
Gorgeous!
What a big project, it looks wonderful!
