Bathroom Take Two

I tried posting this a few months ago with before and after video walk-throughs of our bathroom remodel, but the video upload took forever and I gave up on posing this until now.
Back in March, Chris really tore into our bathroom, which needed some work. It felt small, the shower enclosure was tiny, the wall had some rot, the counter top was crummy, etc.

To increase the sense of space, Chris ripped out part of a wall so that it would be a half wall. He removed the small shower and a tiny vanity next to it, removed another portion of wall that was doing nothing besides filling space, then he made a gigantic shower finished in travertine with super nice fixtures and a made in Germany rain shower head. It's really sweet!

Instead of fixing the vanity, he painted the old one, added drawer handles and finished the top in large granite tile and put a vessel sink on top. A lot of work and expense went into the project, but the bathroom is amazing now. We turned one of the home's eye sores into a real selling point, and every time I take a shower it feels like I'm vacationing in a fancy resort.

My husband's skills continue to impress me. My dad and Christoph were also a huge help.

Our old shower enclosure was small, the shower head was broken, and the adjacent wall was rotten.

We're really happy with the linear drain.


Three shower heads to choose from, all made in Germany. Christoph helped install them using the German language instructions.
