Looks great! Give us some details on what you did, how long it took, and any "interesting" problems you solved.

I am not crazy about it but my wife likes it.

That is the single most important criteria of any home project.

Looks good, nice tile job and the pedestal sink fits in nicely.

How long? Two months but there have been lots of other things in between. All the major demo, tiling, etc was done in 3 weekends.

Well I turned a room that used to be a laundry room w/linoleum floor and paneled walls into the bathroom. Tiled the floor, set the tub and tiled the surround. I also pulled the paneling off down to studs and hung drywall. The tub surround tile sits on 1/2 backer over a vapor barrier. the floor tile is over 1/4" backer which is over thinset and is screwed to te subfloor. I had a plumber do all the plumbing rough-in. I also changed out the existing light for a fan/light and added a light over the sink. The outlet got moved to its own 20A circuit and I replaced it with a GFI outlet.

Some interesting problems? Well because the sheetrock was thicker than the paneling I had to extend the door casings. I moved the existing light switch and outlet boxes so just set them at the right depth for the drywall.

I also battled with installing the shower head. There is a drop-ear female thread fitting in the wall to receive the shower head arm. The plumber soldered a stub of copper to a male fitting and screwed that in as part of the rough-in. I left it in place when I was tiling so as not to mess up the shower arm. When I went to take it out, it wouldn't come and I eventually broke the pex supply line and had to replace that. I think the problem with getting the copper out was the board that the drop ear was screwed to wasn't attached to the studs very well. So when I tried to turn it, the board moved instead of the copper turning.

I really like the first photo looking through the door. Most folks have a hair dryer in the bathroom, you have a battery operated screw gun ....
