the second bathroom, the nasty one

reader, the baron is embarrassed about the photos below, of the master bedroom bathroom. it's a rather smaller bathroom than the first one, and has just a shower. a pop-in fiberglass shower. with a travertine tile border at the bottom, laid out OVER, and stuck to, the fiberglass. you know what? the baron is throwing up in her mouth a little right now.

in this before photo, the narrowness of the bathroom is obvious, right? it's just a tiny, tiny room. this bathroom has the same 'before' tile as the first one, and the same faux-marble style laminate vanity.

the baron and the husband wanted, of course, to remove the shower and replace it with a tile shower, which meant building a lip where the glass door would sit. this - the laying of the shower basin - was beyond their bathroom related experience. so... the baron and the husband hired someone to do it for them! below, you can see the walls are removed, though the fiberglass shower basin remains.

below, no fiberglass remains, and the shower walls are on their way! also, at this point, the toilet and the vanity are gone. the baron and the husband, by the way, decided to use the same new toilet and pedestal sink as they had in the first bathroom.

the shower, the shower basin, are complete. if you look closely, reader, you can see that the subway tile also extends onto the walls of the bathroom. isn't it so pretty?

next, the floors and the shower doors are installed. still no toilet, but don't worry reader... they got one eventually!

lastly, the paint and the shower fixtures. pink isn't for everyone, the baron and the husband realize, but it's a much more muted pink than appears here. also, they got the paint from the sale table at home depot for $5, and frankly, after what they had already spent on the bathrooms, settling for cheap pink paint seemed like a grand idea. also, there's the baron, caulking the shower head.
