Bathroom, The Result

The bathroom is finally finished. Come and take a look :

We used the original wood door but installed it as a pocket door allowing for much more space inside the bathroom. For the outside surface we left the door in its original stained-wood finish and added an antique brass handle to fit with the rest of the doors in the hallway. Inside, we painted the door white with the same pocket-door handle but in a chrome finish :

We pushed the wall back one foot making the room feel more spacious. We also painstakingly removed the 12 layers of paint on the rad (with a great local product called D : www.superdecapant.com).The rad's a nice tribute to the house's past and a great way to heat the bathroom :

The pharmacy with its 3 mirror-doors almost covers the whole wall which also creates the illusion of space and allows for a lot of storage :

The custom-made vanity sitting on 4 square chrome legs, hides a drawer for more space conveniently cut out to make room for the pipes :

In this small space we chose the most narrow and modern toilet we could find at 15" wide :

The sink sits on top of a quartz countertop. We chose it from the scrap pieces at the suppliers warehouse at 40% off the price (they might not tell you about it so don't hesitate to ask to see their scrap pieces). Choosing a wall-mounted faucet is tricky. You have to make sure the proportions, height and length all fit together :

We chose a multi-circle glossy tile which fits in together creating an even surface. Even though the whole bathroom is white, the tile makes it fun and dynamic without being too over the top. The rain and  hand-held showerheads are a convenient feature :

The curved shower rod pushes the curtain away from you, making the shower feel less confined :

This light fixture sits a top the pharmacy and adds a touch of whimsy :

As does this crystal "miniature chandelier" which I just love : 

So this is the result of many months of work, but in the end, it was totally worth it.
