Lois' Bathroom - The Floor

Half of Lois' old bathroom was carpet, the other half was tile that needed updating. We are replacing all the flooring with a beautiful travertine plank cut tile:


The planks come in varying lengths and in widths of 4", 6" and 8". We ran the planks on the floor in a diagonal direction. Here is another picture:

Lois' Bathroom - The Vanities

The vanities in the bathroom had sinks positioned on the ends:

Lois' Bathroom- The Shower

Lois felt like her bathroom was small, but unfortunately, there no where from which to steal space.

Here is the before:

We have also installed Hardie backerboard and sealed it with Red Gard. Hardie will not mold or burn, great product!
