Bathroom destruction

Let me just say now that I am firmly opposed to bathroom overfitters.  The people who installed our shower did not seal it right at all and there were TONS of molds growing between the plastic overfitted floor and the tile floor.  I wish I had gotten a picture, but I didn't.

So this is the shower floor - plastic on top of lovely white subway tile on top of concrete.

This is the awful white plastic overlayed shower parts.  TONS of horrible adhesive strips, but none around the drain.  Morons.



After breaking out the concrete...

Where the toilet was...

Former sink & mirror area 1. Lovely peach wall color, eh?

Former sink & wall area 2

Dangerous hot wires! 

Bathroom windows went in...

... at the cost of Rick's pinky nail.

Norwex

If you haven't heard of Norwex and you have any allergies or respiratory issues of any kind, you should check out this company and their cleaning products.  The basis of their offering is microfiber cleaning cloths embedded with silver.  Microfiber picks up things as small as bacteria, and holds them until the cloth is rinsed with hot water.  Silver is a natural antibacterial and antimicrobial that kills those evil things when they are picked up by the cloth, therefore preventing them from being redeposited. 

The cloths were developed in response to the increase in medical resistant bacteria and viruses for use in hospitals.  Check out more at Norwex.com.

First step - new windows installed

At the cost of Rick's fingernail via the circular saw.  Sam did not faint! 

Bathroom before pictures

Bath fixtures

This is what I'm going with. 

Both from FixtureUniverse.com, Torino collection.  Will probably go with the matching towel bars and robe hooks too, but that can wait until everything else is done.
