First Floor Bathroom

Our first floor bath was probably the most labor intensive project we took on last year. We gutted an entry way closet to convert a half bath into a full, since our home only had one other full bathroom. My husband Brent and I did 100% of the gutting and hired a contractor to plumb, drywall, lay floor tile, and install the shower, toilet and vanity. The rest was up to me: paint, install shelving, cosmetic things. We saved a lot of money by finding a contractor who would allow us to outright buy the big supplies, so we were left with primarily a labor only bill. This gave me the opportunity to find bargains and get exactly what I wanted for the price I wanted to spend! Links for the products I used are attached to the photos. 

Here are some before photos

In the first photo you can see the entry closet we removed. In the second photo there is a hall linen closet we also removed to allow more space in the soon to be full bath. In the third and forth photos you can see a soffett that housed plumbing that we scaled down as small as we could to allow more room as well. All vinyl, wood and sub-floors were removed to allow for tiles. 

Here are some during photos
