Beautiful remodel (from you "before" photo and its transition)!

6 years ago

Hello,
I have a similar layout with a large corner tub near flanking windows. I love what you did in your "after" photos. I'm curious, though, where was the toilet position in the "before" bathroom? Did the remodel need to have the toilet stack moved, too? I've heard to avoid moving plumbing as much as possible and especially the toilet.

Hi!
We did not move the toilet. It was “behind” me in the photo.
It had its own toilet “room”. We only moved the shower plumbing and 1 sink plumbing.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. I will be hiring a space-planner/bathroom designer to see if there is any way to alter my floor plan so I can still have a (smaller) tub, but a larger shower without too much disruption to plumbing locations. Unfortunately, my current shower is next to the tub where the blue dog bowl is in your photo. Our toilet "room" is just to the right of our shower, so the doorway to the toilet room's opening is right in line with our narrow shower (it's width). Widening my shower will require moving the doorway over which then changes the size and doorway to our walk-in closet. Lots to figure out. My bathroom looks to be the exact same build/design year as your client's "before" bathroom. Wish it were just a case of resurfacing and updating--always an option to just do that, of course.

Thank you for commenting. I was hoping to place double doors /pocket doors between the kitchen and living room that I could open or close off particularly in the depths of winter. I like my heat. Doing that leaves me with less wall space for kitchen units particularly the American style fridge freezer but something has to give. The back wall of the house opens/or rather doesn't open to the garden at the moment but I would like it to do so. So nothing unusual here, I just want a kitchen /diner / utility that opens onto the garden for outside entertainment, but I think my main struggle is with the length and narrowness of the room. I'm finging it really hard to visualise a functional working space.

It makes me cross that people think they have a right to make some quite negative comments on this post. Masmccar76 put these photos on because she thought people would like to see a genuinely lovely transformation of her garden. Instead there have been some downright nasty comments. By all means make comments but keep them constructive. Houzz is all about is sharing ideas, not about being nasty

What about 6 massive pots? Two one either side of the bay windows and one on either side of the front door. (I too have a massive gray gravel drive way. Trying to plant through the gravel brings on a whole other set of challenges. Pots are just more practical, for me anyway.) I love those trees in the lawn area.:) And the green trim. Also, how would that bright area around the front door look painted a shade a bit closer to the color of the brick and stone areas?

I would use plants to brighten the space. The hardscapes are all good, they just look a bit naked and grim. It can be hard to make a space pretty but usable for the kids too, but its not impossible. You have a lovely sitting area to enjoy. Plant some lovely feature bushes in that gravel area. You don't need to completely hide the clothesline, but having something pretty and showy in front will create a boundary and the eye will be drawn to the plants instead of the washing. If you can't plant into the soil there, some large size pots will work. Maybe some medium sized (1-2metre) ornamental trees in pots, like citrus, a weeping ornamental cherry, or bay trees, moptop robinias are nice too. They will be compact. You could cluster some pots of herbs underneath or plant them and let them ramble a little. Herbs like thyme and rosemary and lavender will suit the gravel area and the heat and be hardy with kids playing around, the odd bike falling on them or crushing underfoot would be quite okay. bulbs in pots or planted around the edges of the lawn are great value low maintenance and hardy colour. You can get great seasonal variation in your view then. Online bulb stores like tesselar and garden express sell bulk landscaping bulbs at very reasonable prices. You can get hundreds of bulbs for $30-50. Bulbs are great hardy plants that won't be killed by the odd soccer ball either. The flowers may get knocked over or the leaves, but the bulb is safe under the soil. Cheap and cheerfuls like nasturtiums are good value colour that will self seed every season. Also, plant some very bright flowering shrubs behind the soccer net and against the far wall. Maybe some hibiscus? You need something to catch and entice the eye, plant some large flowering shrubs with larger or bright flowers or foliage you will be able to appreciate from a distance.
