My mother's bathroom renovation

My mother's bathroom renovation is done! (As many of you know, my own renovation has been on hold for more than a year, but fortunately we were able to use most of my hardware and trim in my mother's bath.)


 It's ming green marble (6x12 on the bottom, 3x6 in a herringbone pattern on the top), with a carrera-and-ming pinwheel mosaic pattern on the floor.


Walk-in shower with a bench, rainshower, handshower. The two showerheads are controlled from the same valve, and can go on separately or together. The handshower slides up and down a bar (to be a body jet) and also has a little holster over the bench.




The accent tile mosaic, the medicine cabinet, the mirrored vanity (really a nightstand) and white marble vessel sink

 




The towel bar is really a grab bar.


 

The picture doesn't do the light fixture justice. It's five balls of glowing glass threads, like hamsters.

And what, I hear you asking, is that funny toilet seat? It's a Japanese-style bidet

About Me

I just bought my first home - an estate-sale 1BR prewar co-op on the UWS in Manhattan. It needs a new kitchen, a new bathroom, new windows, and the parquet floors restored. (Other than that, it's perfect!) This blog is for sharing my renovation ideas and adventures with friends, family, and fellow renovators.
