Downstairs Bathroom - Where We Started & The First Upgrade

This is the original tear down after the sewer backed up. For awhile it looked like this with just a throw rug on the floor

We ignored this shower by changing the shower curtain on occasion.

For our first upgrade we painted the room white, put down a classic style linoleum, and eventually swapped out the sink for this pedestal version

Upstairs Bathroom Remodel - So Much Better

There are only two things remaining. The gorgeous Moroccan mirror and the curtains my mom helped pick out twenty years ago.

Oh yeah, I kept the lid I made for the bathtub.

I kept the upstairs linen closet because it is super useful and does not impede a wheelchair.

26 final bathroom

The original midcentury modern lights and medicine cabinets were kept and I added the glass shelf above the sink

I did not put a door on the shower, instead I'm using shower curtains. Why? Because it's easier to clean.

There is a pedestal sink in the basement bathroom that we moved upstairs. The previous sink was a pain to pass when I was stuck in a wheelchair. This bathroom is much more accessible (I'm not in a wheelchair anymore, but who knows what the future will bring).
