Basement bathrooms are already a difficult task as you have to deal with all the homes plumbing, heating and electrical running overhead. To make this task even more difficult our guys also had to deal with the furnace being directly behind the vanity, the main heating stack running over the shower area and a massive steel beam that ran over the doorway. We had our work cut out for us, but our guys can handle anything!

The new 5 foot shower was installed with a bulkhead that housed the heating stack and a deep linen closet just outside. The walls were lined with a beautiful dark grey-washed tile and accented with a bright glass tile that wrapped around into the vanity area.

To avoid obstruction from the furnace and to maximize storage in the vanity, a bump out was created to house all the plumbing. Keeping the with the theme of obstacle avoidance and space maximization, a cleverly placed upper cabinet was installed below where the steel beam was housed. The door was custom framed to avoid contact with said beam

The floor was finished with luxury vinyl tile and yes, the new toilet was no longer built into the wall. Just like that, the nightmare was gone and replaced by the bathroom of their dreams, almost like a fairy tale ending for this couple. Are you stuck in someone else’s DIY nightmare?
