This was a bathroom in search of an identity, it
didn't even have a vanity to start with. This
small 1/2 bath needed some help in the worst way.
I
began by tearing out the floor and replacing it
with a nice green mid-priced tile. I knew the
flooring would make or break this bathroom so I
used a larger tile and
a simple pattern to make the room feel a bit
bigger. The darker color pulls the eyes down and
helps fool the senses that the room is bigger than
it is.
 This
room had a lot of problems to deal with. There was
an exposed big black main sewer pipe running down
one wall with a clean-out that by code could not
be simply covered up. So I built out the
wall about 8 inches and used a simple and
inexpensive extra cabinet door face to provide
access to it. It was a compromise but was
beautiful compared to the way it was before, which
was a bathroom that looked like a boiler room!
Budget
was important on this project so everything was
stock items right off the shelf, but with careful
selections and splurging a bit on the faucets the
room ends up looking like a million bucks.
