Master Bathroom Remodel

At the end of March we started the process of getting our master bathroom remodeled. The contractor told us it would take about two weeks. We mistakenly thought he meant two consecutive weeks--what he actually meant was, working for two days the first week, one day the next week, two half- days the next week, and so on like that. So it really took about seven weeks from the start of the project to it's completion.
The good news is that the contractor did a good job, and we're pleased with the results. Below are the "Before" pictures. I wish we'd taken the pictures when the decorations were still on the walls, but we didn't think to take the pictures until the room was mostly cleared out and ready for demolition.
The shower was a plastic insert, and to top it off, had the shiny brass accents. We felt it looked very late 1990's, which is when the house was built.
The corner tub was not a jacuzzi tub or anything fancy, and it was rarely used.
Here are a couple of pictures of the bathroom when it was a work in progress.
There had been leaking under the tub we weren't aware of, and the wood underneath was rotted out and needed to be replaced.
We put gray tile on the floor.
Here's a view of the larger space for the shower.
The toilet didn't change locations. Notice the larger floor boards and crown molding.
Voila! The finished product. The sinks are now side by side instead of on opposite walls.
We bought cabinets to store towels and toiletries.
The shower is more than twice the size of the one we had previously.
We love the small tile detailing through out the bathroom. Here's a view inside the shower.
The detail around the tub.
And placed randomly on the floor.
 We're very pleased with our remodeled bathroom!
