Nasty right? What would it take to rejuvenate this bathroom? Here's what it took:
A trip to the local hardware store:
Dura Rock for the walls
lots of slate tile
a black marble threshold for entryway
new towel bar holder
tissue paper hold
new light fixture
new mirror
new toilet
soap holder for shower
decorative glass tiles for the shower walls
new tension bar for the shower curtain
glue for the tiles
spacers, shims
grout
I advised keeping the existing pedestal sink, faucet and shower plumbing (all redone in 2009). The original cast iron tub remained in tact as well.
Five days later and approximately $750 in supplies from the local hardware store and the bathroom was done.
Here is the result:
More importantly, a contract offer was received immediately following the update. Mission accomplished!
Please note that slate was chosen due to the existing slate foyer and kitchen flooring. Consistency in materials throughout the home was important to the seller.
