Congrats!

Just from following you on your travels with your camera, I would think you’d save the house and bring back some of its old charm. Looks great..love the plantation shutters..they transform any room

Lotta work but what a payout... excellent

Our new flat is 25 years old. We are going to be ripping out the tub and replacing it with a walk in shower, old age. The toilet cistern will have to be addressed also. Open teh wall to get the old one out and the new one in. Can't wait.....

I just finished, for the most part the kitchen from our move in.

Always a joy to remodel houses.

I had a house built in 1904 and the before picture is just like what I had to work with.

updating. (Too bad the same principle is apparently being lost at the White House by you know who)...

Want to see the whole house.

improvement projects behind you.

Maybe these pictures will help propel me into action on my second story bathroom too.

Very impressive.

Active knob and tube?! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

The before shot looks like little more than a closet, but maybe it's a wide angle pointed more toward the floor?

In any event, you've got an incredibly satisfying "new" bathroom. Very executive!

=============

Quite an improvement!

What did you do for insulation??? Is the only ventilation through the windows???

It looks fabulous!!!

I also realize that the real lasting quality is hidden behind the surface the homeowner sees.

I hope you've found a truly good contractor who takes pride in their work! Trust me, they're rare in this business.

I hope that you have a second bathroom. Five months is a long time....

And great job on the bathroom. I have never dealt with hand-poured concrete between the joists. That had to have been a bear. How did you get it our without using a jackhammer?

The picture makes it look huge. The floor of the shower is interesting. Is that a mat?
Our house was built around 1900 as well. I love these old houses. I wish we had a really good contractor like yours.

... the basket-weave tiles in the shower floor!

We're doing a similar project using as many grab bars that double as towel rods as we can manage--we have a TP dispenser that doubles as a grab-bar as well. Beautiful project!

Work to be proud of.😊

Must have cost a lot of money!

Our home is less than 80 years old, but the kitchen and bathroom got the makeover too.

Your reno is a work of art though, ours is more of the 'basic but practical' school of thought.

Bathroom workers, them of Middle Eastern descent, worked their butts off in the bathroom, never even stopping for lunch.
Worked out later it was the time of Ramadan!

Did some work in there myself though - grab rails, and plenty of them, some vertical and some horizontal to double as towel rails, shelving.
Just to put my personal touch on it.

I'd suggest one grab rail near the shower, for when you close your eyes, and one near the toilet, to make getting up easier as you get older.

What a transformation. You must be very pleased.

I share my friend’s 1830s brick house. The upstairs bathroom is on the renovations list. It has an old cast iron tub which has to come out.

I had one put in while I was recovering from a major medical issue....sure beats climbing over a tub through sliding glass shower door. For good measure I put in a folding teak bench and a a grab bar.

I hate these newfangled bathrooms that practically shout in your face.

Major kudos for a gorgeous restoration!

Love the rug, it pulls the whole room together!
