The upstairs bathroom.

The upstairs bathroom is a complete redo. Initially I thought I would pull the tub out and install a walk in shower. After much thought I decided to leave the tub in and work from there. There was some leaking around the tub, so the tile was removed and plumbing fixed. Because there is no surplus of materials, the association will replace as near as possible. The choice was to go with a white 4 x 4 white tile throughout.



White tile will be installed throughout up the wall five feet.
All new fixtures, pipes and floor.
Here is a close up picture of the tile I have chosen for the floor. I'm installing a "Roppe" rubber raise coin style tile. I've used rubber in my other home both in the kitchen and bath, it's one of the best floors I've ever had, easy to care for and virtually no maintenance.
This is the new Italian white marble threshold, the white tile and rubber that will be used in the upstairs bath.
The legs to the sink have been removed and powder coated aluminum. 
 The new handle is a modern version of the original.  The sink will be removed and I will restore. All pipes will be replaced with chrome and new valves installed along with new compression fittings.







In the linen closet I have removed the shelving and repaired the plaster. With luck I have a chrome metro rack that just fits. The shelves are at the same height, being that it just fits, it will have to be assembled in the closet, but will bring a more modern look to the bath. I'm looking for a crisp, clean white with chrome and a pop floor.
