Tossing around ideas for main bathroom reno.
I am working on ideas for my main bathroom reno that will be on a fairly tight budget. I have posted a picture of my second bathroom that is in our extension. I have the same basin, taps etc for the main bathroom but want to have different tiles. Thinking of a patterned tile on the floor, maybe a white shower base that I have seen in this months Better Homes & Garden (to break up the pattern tile) and possibly a white subway type tile for the walls. Then this two door bathroom cabinet. I am hoping I might be able to fit in the same towel shelving as seen in my bathroom pictured... what do you think? Aiming for a modern country look ;-)

Comments (21)For a house that age, do an asbestos assessment before you do anything else. It is important for health and safety, and for knowing what additional costs you might be up for. It really needs to be the first thing you do. I've seen pictures of bathrooms where the two windows srtill work well functionally and visually, so work out the best layout first and then decide which window or both of them suit that layout. Keep in mind too that windows reduce wallspace and you need to allow enough walls not just for the major items but the little things too like towel rails. I've seen beautiful luxe bathrooms in display homes, and then I look around and realise we'll have to share one very small towel....See More2 way bathroom or eliminate main bedroom entry?
Comments (6)If this is to be your forever home, I would suggest to convert the bedroom 4, with the existing ensuite and shed, into a master suite. If your boys are 6 and 8 years old, they will soon be 13 and 15 and you won’t want to share a bathroom with them, and you would not want them to access your bedroom unannounced through the bathroom! Totally renovate the bathroom into what you require for the boys and guests. Totally renovate the bed 4, ensuite and shed into your master suite. Look to the future use, as it will be here before you know it. Don’t renovate for what you need now renovate for what is needed in the future, as in this build environment it may take longer to be completed than anticipated....See MoreReno floor plan help - bathroom powder and kitchen
