This was our master bathroom, up until about a week ago.
Please note the butterfly wallpaper, outdated colors, 60's trim on the cabinets, and--best of all--the carpet.
After things literally began falling apart in this room, we decided it was finally time to go ahead and renovate it. Although the layout is not optional--it's very long and narrow--we opted not to move anything around because of the potential expense (we don't intend to be in this house a terribly long time, and it wouldn't have been worth it). So we painted, had a tub put in (hooray!), and got all new tile and finishes. We're pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Here are some pictures of the finished job:
The shower tile. Rather than going with a tan/brown color, as seems to be the style these days, we went with white. These tiles are white marble. Nathan preferred natural stone; how can you deny a geologist a request like that? :)
I now have a bathtub! So exciting! ;)
We're pretty pleased with the way it turned out, and we've definitely been enjoying it since it was finished about a week ago!

Wow, this looks great! Whenever you decide to sell the house, buyers will look at that bathroom and be grateful that you made the bathroom look nice but neutral. (I've seen a lot of pretty questionable design choices lately while house hunting...)
Yes, we saw our share of questionable design choices when we were house hunting, too! We've tried to keep all our renovations neutral, at least when it comes to the permanent stuff like tile.
Looks great! If only I were small enough to fit inside!
