What's your dream (small) "master bath"?

[wguy123]

@Dung_Beetle

Well, guys, after approximately four months and twenty thousand dollars, our master bathroom went from this to this! I think we will be happy with it.

My husband got his tub, which I probably won’t use but it’s very beautiful.

This is the walk-in shower with the linear drain. I like it now, but I’m a little worried that as the weather gets colder it won’t be as much fun. It doesn’t hold any heat, which won’t be a problem ten months of the year, but during those other two months might be quite painful! :eek:

This is where the magic happens. It’s got one of those fancy European 2 button flushers on it so you can customize your disposal.

Sicks, thanks for giving me the opportunity to post this stuff! Quite possibly no one cares, but it was exciting for me. And I’m looking forward to seeing your project completed also.

Everybody else, stay tuned at some vague future time for the next home improvement project, “Putting a New Roof on the Barn”. zzzzz

Wow, looks very nice!

What brand is the toilet? Same question about the hanging sink vanity?

I need to buy the next round of parts for my down to studs (actually more than that since I moved walls) remodel. My sink vanity will only by 4’ wide and I like the looks of the Ikea hanging vanity…I’m just questioning the non-standard drain plumbing.

Thank you! I will endeavor to find the answers to those questions for you by Monday.

One thing about those cantilevered cabinets, though: they ain’t whistling Dixie about the reduced storage space. I’ve got a bunch of toiletries packed away in the closet which I guess I can either get along without, or allow them to remain in the closet forever. Could be a blessing in disguise.

I should’ve also mentioned: We are going from a small 3’x3’ enclosed shower stall to a 3’x6’ walk in shower with no door and we are also concerned about the lack of trapping heat. We live in the northern part of the US, so it’s about 6 months of the year we have cold. I will have the ability to put a glass door in later (I framed in the backing for it), but I really don’t want to have to do this. We shall see.

Well, I never did run across the paperwork for the cabinets, but the toilet is a Swiss Madison. (I got a chuckle out of that because it sounds a bit like Funk and Wagnalls, or at least could be used in the same sort of phrases. “Flush that down your Swiss Madison!”)
I think you’re probably going to wind up putting a door on your shower. Myself, I’m already wondering if I’m going to have to shower in the guest bathroom this winter. I’d like to see your project when it’s finished, if you feel like bumping the thread down the road…

Dung Beetle, that is gorgeous!! Did you do the design and fixtures? And I love the grey, it’s so clean-looking and bright in there.

I’m still thinking about starting a “post your home improvements” thread. I think it would be fun to see what everybody is up to.

My concrete countertop is in. Now that it’s out of my garage, I can paint the doors and drawers, and that’s about it!

[Dung_Beetle]

Thank you, Sicks, it was a whole lot of fun.

I love those concrete countertops, too. I doubt we’re ever going to get around to fixing up our kitchen but I could really go for that. Looks classy.

10. Charging station for gadgets. Most bathrooms these days have rechargeable razors, toothbrushes and trimmers. Give them a home somewhere other than the tank of the toilet, ideally someplace covered and away from the dreaded toilet plume.

11. Storage for hair dryers and curling irons. Another biggie for my wife. Pretty much every vanity has a ugly jumble of cords and devices that are impossible to store easily. I don’t know what the magic bullet is here, but anything you can do to create a designated space for these things so they aren’t spilling out all over the place will be a welcome addition.

I’m coming to this thread late, too.

When we remodeled our bath, we put slim upper cabinets on each side of the vanity. I can try to find a picture of what I’m talking about if anyone is interested. The vanity itself is wide – normal double-doored cabinet underneath, flanked by a drawer unit on each side. The upper cabinets are not as deep as the vanity, and sit on it. This is where we store our electric stuff.

Most importantly, we had outlets put in inside the upper cabinet. Toothbrushes, razors, etc. can recharge without taking up any counter space.
