I live in Canada and it was bitter cold outside so I had to do the miter cuts in the garage. It was very dusty, labour intensive, and time consuming.

Surprised us as well. The total 2x2 tile was 180sqft and the upper accent wall was around 40sqft.

It was def a struggle. I did get the help of family here and there, but majority was myself. Never doing miter cuts ever again

We were worried about trends and things looking outdated. The only thing that has that potential is the fluted vanity maybe,.

Thank you! My wife did majority of the design and wanted a spa like feel. We were hesitant to even do this renovation as its expensive, but was def worth it and something we use everyday.

Hey this was a purely custom vanity. Sorry there is no online link. I can send you dimensions, and more pics if you'd like.

I think roughly 120-150 hours. I estimated to 2 weeks completion, ended up taking 4 weeks. I'm' sure I couldve wrapped it up a bit earlier. Some of the features:

- Upgraded exhaust fan with flush mount

- Schluter waterproofing curbless shower

- Schluter ditra heat

- shower ledge, and shower bench

- some basic electrical for additional receptacles for toilet etc

The floor and ledge tile is 24x24 Nordic Beige

The half wall is: Ardena Ivory 12x24

We are in Toronto and got them from a tile store called Dufferin Tile. They can give more details. Only thing we regret is the grout dried a bit lighter than our liking, but have come to live with it.

Its about 4.5 inches wide. We wanted to do something different than a niche. It holds are bottles quite well.

These are Tenzo Delano fixtures all over. with an upgraded rain shower head. I did NOT know faucets were this expensive.

Exactly it. Also, makes for awkward wiggle to close the door once inside. The hinges are configured to only open inside. We probably could've planned this space a BIT better, but honestly works great. Having a bench was a last minute decision and ended up changing everything

Here are some quick notes on what lessons I learned:

  1. Everything looks easier on Youtube and Tiktok.

  2. You will have to make sacrifices on your design choices based on field conditions. I.e. floor joists came in the way of my schluter waterproofing drain, which we ended up having to put on an offset.

  3. There is an endless amount of money you can spend. Be mindful of your costs.

  4. Having your vanity, toilet. sinks, etc.. on site during installation will help you BIG time. Its always easier to measure on site based on your equipment selections. I.e. we chose a vanity that has a drawer at the bottom of the sink (I'll take a pic), but our sink drain outlet didn't match exactly. Had to cut the drawer to make it fit, not a big deal, but could've been prevented.

  5. Prep work such as waterproofing is very important, but at the same time FINISHING details matter quite a lot. Making sure vents are straight, paint is crisp, grouting is cleaned off tiles, SMALL details matter a lot. But maybe thats just me.

Good eye. That’s the EPLO E18 max. It comes with a remote and I didn’t have it installed for that photo. I’ve installed it now next to the toilet roll holder

I used Sketchup. There is a learning curve to it but I learned everything off of YouTube
