This house has 5.5 bathrooms. All but two of them have carpet for flooring. Most of them are out of date since the house was built in the early 70s. Bart pees in these bathrooms. He doesn't always pay attention to his aim so it has made for a nasty situation. Ewwwww! Also, if the toilet overflows just one time it makes for another nasty situation.
 
This bathroom is the one off my office, and is really part of a downstairs master bedroom suite. We started with it since it doubles as a guest suite.

See the carpet in the tub and toilet area? What a mess it was. It also had  wallpaper that was outdated.

The tub area had two different kinds of tile that didn't even match each other. Also, the faucet handle on the right was stripped and we couldn't even turn on the water for fear of not being able to turn it off. The wall tile on the left had some grout out so whenever the shower was turned on it leaked into the basement garage which was directly below.

The carpet had already been pulled up from the vanity area because our feral tomcat who had just been neutered  and brought inside decided to have a urine accident in this area. Even taking the carpet out did not remove the smell completely. It had soaked down into the sub flooring.
 
A lot of things we did not change. The vanity and sink were fine but the faucet fixtures were out of date. The black bathtub also remained. We had already replaced the toilet, also black, a year or so before.

This is the same shot of the tub area as the first one in the progression. The floor is done in 12"x12" marble in Absolute Black. The shower curtain was replaced and the wallpaper torn down and replaced with semi gloss paint.

The rear of the tub is photographed here. The tile ledge is of the tile as the floor. The wall tiles are 6"x6" ceramic with chair rail.

This is the front end of the tub showing the new fixtures.

The floor in front of the vanity area is here, and we used a beige marble threshold between the tile and the carpeted floor of my office. I am quite pleased with how this bathroom turned out.

Now for Flo's bathroom
