Build Bath & Shower

Posted by: Kate • June 26, 2012 I have given you a whole list of reasons why I am going to do a gut remodel of my retro master bathroom , but the main reason doesn ’t have to to with the condition of the tile, the color scheme or the lack of towel bars — I’m gutting my master bathroom to the studs and starting over, because the layout is just not working for how we live. When we first bought our retro ranch house about two years ago, I knew the bathroom was going to need some help. I’ ve spent hours thinking , measuring and imagining how I could fix the floor plan to be more user friendly, and by golly, I think I have a plan… To understand the improvements I’d like to make to the layout of my master bathroom , first we have to take a look at the current layout of the room: master bathroom floorplan" src="https://retrorenovation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/CURRENT-BATH2.jpg" alt="Kate's current master bathroom floorplan" width="500" height...

The main reason I bought this (besides being a fiend for any new scent by philosophy) was because it came with a pump, and I really w...

Creative floorplans and continuing advances in technology lead the charge for new motorhomes introduced to dealers; Class B’s are the fastest-growing segment There’s a good reason why toy haulers number among the most popular RVs going into 2015 — and it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with a garage. Well, almost nothing. Sure, a garage-on-wheels is about the handiest thing to hit the RV industry since a 5,000- pound hitch receiver , but beyond the ability to haul toys is the fact that the ramp door of such units provides a whole new dimension to camping. Simply attach the provided support jacks and rails, and owners can enjoy outdoor vistas from the comfort of their own patio. That’s no small feat. Neither is the fact that a 10-by-8- foot ramp door , converted to patio use, can add 80 square feet of living area — an increase of 20 percent or more to the average motorhome floorplan . That’s something that even outdoor enthusiasts who don’t ride ATVs or motorcycles or even ...

When we stumbled upon this house {almost a year ago!} this was the master bedroom and bath situation. Dusty brass ceiling fans , and all. Our now-home sat on the market for some time, and we believe this is one of the reasons why: People weren’t really sure what to do with such a tiny master bath . True to its age and style at the time the house was built, {circa 1976} the size and layout caused a bit of a conundrum. Good thing for us, we love conundrums. We originally purchased the house with the intent to redo, and then add an addition. Ideally, this will be Emerson’s space in the future. If you’ve been following for a while, then you know that we’ve had some real issues with the local septic inspectors. Wheeeeeeee! Codes here pride themselves on being difficult and taking a really long time. We hope to elaborate on an update soon.  Long story short , we may be getting super creative in the future. Stay tuned. After we purchased the house and decided to take on the renovation, we wor...
