It’s time. No extra false begins. We’re diving head first into our main toilet renovation and taking you alongside for all the factor. We have heard your fears–„you are going to renovate your toilet after which transfer!“ And whereas we have now finished that previously two homes, (unusual eventualities and had nothing to do with simply ending our toilet truly), we have now no intention of shifting after this one. I promise. And I feel that is one motive why we have now been actually taking our time to verify we get it precisely proper. We even have the insurance coverage of so many different unfinished areas in our home that we will not wait to sort out (extra on that here).
So, to kick it off, I wished to share a number of earlier than pictures of our toilet (notice, these have been taken earlier than we moved in, so there’s not any muddle wherever, however consider me once I say the drawers in our vanities are so shallow that we each have a lot ON our counters that do not slot in our drawers.), however nothing else has modified. We by no means painted. The cherry flooring are nonetheless in place. The mirrors on each angle. It is a journey.
The angle beneath is from the lavatory searching into our bed room. The bed room view has positively changed–can you consider there was once a door into the research from the bed room? We closed that off and put our mattress on that wall for extra privateness.
You may also see the his and her closets within the tight hallway that we’re additionally going to be addressing on this renovation as nicely, and that may impression our bed room sq. footage. Under is a tough drawn flooring plan of our present toilet format. The squares on the high of the drawing are our closets.
That is the brand new format plan:
I am excited to stroll you thru all of our plans! We labored with Stoffer Cabinetry on these they usually have been great to verify every part off on our wishlist. Even the issues we did not really feel have been potential, like a bathtub and a sit down self-importance. We have now been modifying and including to those plans for months and I feel we’re lastly to a spot the place we really feel very excited to star! Most lately, we added loads of hidden storage and bumped out our closets into our bed room 24″ to realize extra area. However let me present you the elevations and discuss you thru every part.
One factor that is not so apparent within the new elevation drawings, however you in all probability seen within the earlier than pictures–our ceiling is presently one million totally different angles. It is fairly excessive in areas and decrease in others and no angle is identical. As wanted as a vaulted ceiling might be, I feel constant angles assist that. We have now determined to flatten our ceiling to 10′ all through our toilet and closet. That also provides us loads of luxurious peak with out the bizarre angles.
(Elevations A, B, C labeled above, correspond to the labels beneath the elevations beneath)
This primary elevation is wanting into the lavatory on the arch window. You may see we moved our vanities to this wall! I can not wait to not be backlit all the time I am preparing!!! Every of our mirrors will probably be medication cupboards for extra storage. We saved the bathtub in its present place, and are even leaning towards doing an undermount tub, surrounded by stone slabs. You will get a a lot bigger tub for those who do undermount which is interesting to us, as is the veiny stone slab I am envisioning. (However, I do LOOOVVVEE a free-standing tub, too, and I’ve really been forwards and backwards one million instances on that call.) The bathtub nook can have a cased opening within the renovation. Possibility 1 (above) has a wider opening that also permits for the paneling on the partitions to proceed.
Possibility 2 (beneath) has a gap that mimics the form of the window. Chris and I are nonetheless speaking via which we favor as a result of we every favor totally different ones! Haha! I like choice 1 and the continuity of the trim on the partitions and the broader opening to see a bit extra of the tile work that will probably be within the nook. He prefers the pure arch designed to match the window form. When renovating, you are certain to return up in opposition to one thing you’ll be able to’t agree on. We simply discuss it out till we’re aligned. (And he stated, „I do not actually care that a lot, I feel each would look good“)…so we will in all probability guess which course we’re going with! However I would love to listen to your desire only for enjoyable!
In case you flip round from this view, you will notice an arch main into the hallway that may home the sit down self-importance and our closets. Extra on these in a minute. You may see we moved our bathe right here, mirrored by the water closet on the opposite facet. We liked having a sink in our final house’s toilet’s water closet, however we opted to make use of that area for a sit down self-importance as an alternative right here. And! Completely satisfied to report we have now realized {that a} single glass bathe door actually provides you the perfect of each worlds. No cleansing a whole glass bathe, however it nonetheless permits gentle to stream in. There will probably be a transom window above the bathe door for air motion when we do not have the steam bathe on.
And a few fairly in-shower particulars. No kidding–the DETAIL that Stoffer cabinetry places into their concepts and elevations are unmatched. We wished to create the identical paneling impact within the bathe as the remainder of the partitions of the lavatory and I can not wait to see this come to life. We’re going to do a sensible bathe, so the controls will truly be on a panel proper exterior of the bathe.
The final view, for in the present day, is the hallway view. On the fitting, you’ll be able to see the sit down self-importance space, with a pocket door main into my closet. The self-importance space has a drawer and hidden storage in both of the partitions. On his facet, you’ll be able to see the place we carved out some further area for towel storage. It truly cuts into the bathe bench!
All of it appears like a dream come true!! I will share extra concerning the finishes and the closet in an upcoming submit. However for now, this appears like loads of particulars to drool over. Simply me??
