Ok, so this is what I've really been working on. In February, my dad and I bought this duplex in the neighborhood and have been renovating the top apartment ever since. Here are some before pictures of the bathroom.
The tub "surround" is a DIY job that someone saw on HGTV with brown paper bags and some kind of clear adhesive coating that, in the right context, looks like a neat leather faux finish. But not in a shower.
The tub is not level, and so the water runs out the top, down the side and down in between the shower and the vanity where both the wooden vanity and the floor were rotted out and the downstairs tenants' kitchen ceiling caving in.
The door has a mirror framed in gold-painted spray foam insulation as trim. Classy.
So we ripped out the surround, all the walls (several layers of drywall and plaster). We replaced the window, along with all the other windows in the house. We tore up the floor, put down a new wooden subfloor and concrete board on top of that. We added two sets of built-in cubby shelves, new drywall, a new vanity, a new tub surround, and new light fixtures. We tore out and re-installed the crooked tub, and put down new flooring.
After pictures coming soon!
