My bathroom projects were finally underway in early 2017, Yay! The master ensuite was completely gutted to the studs and joists in order to add new insulation with the hope that the shower and bath noise would be minimized in our main family room which is directly below. I can now confirm that it worked and was a great investment! We added heated floors, potlights, sconces and redirected the HVAC. The main goal was to enlarge the shower which had been a dark, cramped box with a single frosted glass door. The new shower is larger with a built in bench and glass enclosure. Once the cabinetry and tub was installed we had measurements taken for the marble for the vanity as well as the tub deck, shower bench, shower niche and threshold. It took a couple weeks to get the marble cut and installed and then we went through the same process with the shower glass. It's not a quick process when everything is custom but it's worth it in the end and I was so happy that we had both bathrooms complete before spring.

There was a lot more that went into this but this gives you a general idea of the process for a large bathroom reno. See the final reveal here and contact me if you need help with a bathroom renovation in the future.
