Wow, great job!

I am doing a similar look in my hall bath soon so I might be copying some of your ideas too!

I only wish I could do a clawfoot tub. I am stuck with a 3 wall alcove unfortunately:(

I bought the tub over a year ago and pretty much designed the bath around it. It had been sitting in our basement for so long that I had no memory of how yellow it is compared to the bright white of our new vanities and toilet. Yikes. The contrast is a little rough, but I'm hoping a pure white shower curtain will tie it all together!

I admire your careful budgeting. You are really sly foxes! I thought you had a Toto "Lloyd" toilet there, with the black seat! And I thought, how in blazes did they fit THAT into a $5K budget. Then I read how. Clever!

BEAUTIFUL! I can't believe it is a DIY! So lovely and serene. Great work~

Your bathroom is beautiful! What are the ceiling pieces made of?

Gorgeous!

And I am completely envious over how quickly and economically you created this look -- I know you all were tireless in many ways!

I think the stained glass transom-to-be might kill me off if my own dragging-along reno doesn't...but please post an update when you get that done as I'd love to see it.

ps I recognize your "mood/inspiration shot" as I've admired the work that firm does!

Thanks, everyone. Casey, our budget was so tight that I didn't even look at Toto as an option; any similarity is purely - but happily - accidental!

Gramzy, the ceiling is just standard sheetrock, painted with a satin-finish latex paint. We used greenboard around the bathtub, but that was it. Hopefully not a huge deal.

I just saw your upstairs bath. That is beautiful as well. Can you tell my what kind of vanities and what kind of tile in your shower? Thank you.

I think you're looking at Mrs. Limestone's absolutely gorgeous master bath, which was one of my inspiration shots. I wish I could claim it was mine! I'm linking to her description of it below.

Hopefully this is my last question, but it least it keeps your beatiful bathroom at the top of the message board so everyone can see what a great job you did.

What kind of tile did you use on the floor?

The floor is 12x12 Goia marble - a bit grayer than Carrara. It used to be widely available at Home Depot for $5/SF, but in our area at least (Oregon) they've discontinued and replaced it with something I think is closer to Calacutta, with gold veins rather than grey. Still quite pretty and cost-effective.

Hi, It is really cool. I love your thinking.

That is the best big-box bathroom I've ever seen. Actually, one of the DIY and one of the best baths full stop I've ever seen, for that matter. And from another Oregonian--our state has so much to be proud of :)

I'm blushing. Thanks so much, Flyleft! We're relatively recent East Coast transplants to Oregon, and I find so much to be inspired by here between the architecture and the natural environment. It's a good place.

hey, na praha (and vix too, although I know you cherish your privacy), there will be a g'web get-together on 8/21 at Papa Haydn's in the afternoon--just thought you might want to know...it's been talked about on the kitchens board.

We got here in 2002 -- I know what you mean about the multiple sources of inspiration available to us here. I was purely an east coast girl before coming out here--you *never* would have convinced me to think about moving away from the eastern seaboard before a certain event led us to try to find the most cycling-friendly city in the US...but now it seems like the Home that's always been waiting for me to discover it...

And part of what's great about it is how friendly and engaging people are here. What a great idea to have a gathering - I can't make this one but hope to make the next if it happens. Especially since the kitchen is next on my list to conquer.

Beautiful. I need to get to Target to check out the little cabinet between the sinks. I need one like that. Congratulations, job well done!!

You really did a beautiful job-- your budget makes it all the more impressive. Good for you!

Lovely bathroom. I too am a lurker, getting ready to redo the main bathroom in a 1929 bungalow. Any sealing problems with the marble tile you used and are you happy with it? BTW - loved seeing Huck in the picture, have 2 girls of my own.

Hello, fellow GSP lover! I'm new to the breed but am learning how fabulous they are. We're using Miracle 511 Porous Plus for sealant and it's just fine. No problems with it so far.

Brutuses, those cabinets are online (and I think only online). I'll copy the link below.

House Vixen asked that I post our stained glass transoms when they were in, and they are - finally!

As is the shower riser and rod:

Thanks again for all your great ideas and nice feedback! n_p

I love your bathroom! I know you said the vanities were by Pegasus but I cannot seem to find them anywhere!! Do you know the name of them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, a mara. The model is Raleigh, but I'm pretty sure it was a short-run kind of item. They came and went quickly to the clearance section in our area, at least. Depending on your price range, these from Home Depot might work:

American Standard Brook Console Table - Espresso - 9373.100.339 at The Home Depot

Pegasus Pegasus 24 In. Eurasia Vanity and Mirror Set - PEG-EURA-24ES at The Home Depot

You might also find a couple on eBay or Craigslist? Best of luck!

Oooooh, still wrapping up our bath reno so am late to see your update but thank you so much for getting back to me (us!) with your gorgeous transoms!

The finished tub/shower looks great there too; I'll have to show Mr Vix since he quietly longs for a clawfoot or slipper. In fact, both the glass and room colors are so up my alley I'm about ready to show up with a robe and shampoo and throw myself on your mercy. What a great space you've created.

Enjoy long soaks -- you guys have earned 'em!

[And now that I'm nearly done I'm even more impressed with what you got for your money -- and we are no slouches at squeezing a penny.]

Looks great!

However, I have always wondered how you use this setup as a shower. Don't the walls get wet from the splash of the water??

What a spectacular bathroom! I would have been impressed at $20k - $5k is unbelievable!

I love your color scheme, and the clean, serene look. I wish you many happy hours in that lovely room.

Vix - don't get my husband started on that clawfoot! He rues the expense and the installation hassles. But it sure is pretty...

Paral - We have clear EVA liners around the whole perimeter. Not ideal, looks-wise, but the best solution in terms of water containment.

Thanks, Marisany - After 4 months, we're still not living in the master suite, so this gorgeous bathroom is going largely unused. You should see the one I shower in every day - if you scroll down in the link below, you can see images of the before and only slightly better after. Ugh! I'm looking forward to those many happy hours...

Geez, I wouldn't care if I had to get in my car and DRIVE to the new bathroom -- especially given what you are using, ha. You guys need to start breaking in that beauty!
