Washed-Out WC Makeove

Save my Bath

Krista: Goodbye boring and bland, hello vivid and vibrant, turning this bathroom
into a colorful and elegant retreat cost us about $24,000. The rate of return
on this renovation will be as much as 90% and may increase will be resell
value of this home by almost $22,000.

George: I think that one of the greatest things that we accomplished is getting rid of
the way.

Kirsten: Goodbye white, we finally have a little color, a little character.

George: A lot of color and a lot of character.

Kirsten: Look at our incredible huge 6 foot long vanity.

George: This maybe is my favorite part.

Kirsten: Amazing.

George: And look no rust springs.

Kirsten: And this is where we’re going to keep it, nothing on the vent, everything
goes.

George: I’ll hold you to that one.

Kirsten: Yeah.

George: And Kirsten look at the bathroom I mean first of all it’s huge.

Kirsten: You could actually take us soak in the tub.

George: We now can go from shower back to tub without the pliers.

Kirsten: And look at our beautiful glass tile. I mean it gives me great contemporary
look.

George: We carved up this 2x1 space and it gave us so much more room. It makes
the bathroom totally different.

Kirsten: Our glass tile mosaic pot that we made sort of brings. Is it a personal
touch?

George: I really finished the personal garden thing. We used to have no lighting
and now we have in all the lighting we need on dimmers.

Kirsten: I like the fact that they’re not traditional bathroom lights. It’s grand
without being ostentatious.

George: Remember the old tiles we used to have, just plain white.

Kirsten: And there’s that huge crack.

George: And now they replaced it with these.

Kirsten: Interesting looking.

George: Combination of tiles.

Kirsten: The floor itself is a masterpiece

George: And we can’t forget we have radiant heat under here.

Kirsten: I know that’s the best part.

George: I love it. I can’t wait to have the warm tootsies in the winter, now we
actually have a toilet for adults. I didn’t think I would ever say a toilet is
beautiful but I think that I can say legitimately not this toilet.

Kirsten: Yeah, I love the fact that it has; it’s a transitional toilet for carter and
Jackson when they’re small and putty trained.

George: I’ll just remember to put this up.

Kirsten: Yes you do.

George: When we heard they were going to do a brown leather wall we weren’t
sure.

Kirsten: But it really turned out great and it just add that warmth and I love the fact
that we have just new storage and it’s great for the kids because now if
you keep all their toys right in here.

George: I think that we’ve got more storage that we can handle. Now we could buy
stuff to fill it.

Kirsten: Well I’m going shopping. I’m ready for that.

George: I think we should take this opportunity to say thank you Mark and Krista
for everything you did. You really did a great job on the bathroom.

Kirsten: Yeah thank you Martha and Krista we really appreciated all your help.

Krista: I wanted to create an environment that had some contemporary elements.
Some cottage elements as well as some more traditional English style
elements and bring them all together to make a really cool eclectic design.
