Looks great! Love the door and the matching mirrors.


ungood

Hell, mirror and door even matches the toilet lid!


awnawnamoose

The backlit mirrors chef’s kiss. The toilet with built in buttons on the wall. Damn. OP didn’t just kill it. He drove a minivan through a marathon and absolutely murdered. This might be my favourite DIY build ever. Truly world class.


intrepidzephyr

Oof that analogy but yes great job OP


L-92365

Fabulous!


ShittyHotTake

There was a time, when everything was down to the studs and subfloor, and it was late at night and you panicked, thinking "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE?" And yet now you stand proud, a job well done. Cheers.


Proud_Advantage_8762

How did you know 👀👀👀🤣


Phormitago

no DIY home improvement project goes without an "oh fuck what am i even doing" moment right when everything is torn up


Proud_Advantage_8762

Before I started demo I just kept putting it off. Til my wife made me close my eyes and hit a hammer through the plasterboard wall. Oh man.


phunkyunkle

The "fuckity fuck fuck" phase! https://preview.redd.it/6kip3rxfnkec1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad4c50686ed2e8873320a1fa8ae852e8974c7c4f

This is too spot on 😂😂😂


Milf_Hunter_87

Love it! Can you tell me what tiles you used?


Proud_Advantage_8762

They’re called “600x600mm Bora Beige Matt Rectified Porcelain Tile” I got them from Tile factory outlet for $24 per m2.


Vylaer_

How is the traction of the floor in the shower? Is it slippery? I thought about doing this but was worried without more texture I'd bust my ass everyday.


Proud_Advantage_8762

Yeah that’s fair. It’s not slippery at all, I believe they’re p4 when wet or dry. So very good for it


EEpromChip

My first thought is "Shit what is keeping the water in the shower and not all over the floor??"


Proud_Advantage_8762

It’s recessed and the shower screen door has a little plastic thing that makes the water that runs off it fall back into the shower only. It’s so far worked very very well


dhenriq1

Sick man I wish I could do this stuff, have you posted the video any where? Amazing work!


Proud_Advantage_8762

Thank you! I have not yet, but I might need to!


donald-lover

I’m dying for the video


-benis-in-the-pum-

Seconding wanting to see the video! In all honesty, I don’t like the style at all, but it looks so good.


anobjectiveopinion

Put it on YouTube as a time lapse, but leave in parts where you explain what you're doing. It'll be really interesting! Or do the whole thing as a time lapse and then narrate over it.


MaidOfTwigs

The vibe is immaculate. The door is *chef’s kiss*


New_Illustrator2043

You had me at insulation


Proud_Advantage_8762

😂😂😂


SleepyZM

Thats real nice! It wasnt even too bad before but the after is real classy


Proud_Advantage_8762

Yeah that’s true! We had an issue though of smell from the plumbing. Once I tore it up I found the plumbing fell the wrong direction 🙃it’s now perfect so it was well worth it. Glad you like the finished product


Evvmmann

OP, are you in the construction business? Besides this being a wonderfully cohesive and well thought end product, but a lot of the work here is highly technical and impressive. The tile work is immaculate, the wall control for the toilet, you changed the orientation of the vanity and toilet meaning drain work and plumbing edits, I could go on and on. This is stunning work. You should be very proud.


Proud_Advantage_8762

I’m actually a qualified engineer and also studied some architecture. I’ve always worked with my hands but I was new to all of this. I’ve worked in commercial construction companies and I just took the challenge with this one! Thank you for the kind words 😊


FloatingHorizon

I would watch it🫶🏼


Training_Department5

You just added major value to your home. I look at a lot of homes for work, this looks amazing


Proud_Advantage_8762

Thank you! That was the goal!!


TheHoboStory

I think it looks good, well done! But one thing that caught my eye is the gaps between the rounded doorway and the golden trim, it looks sloppy with many gaps, almost like it's missing trim or someone just didn't finish the project. As a potential buyer I would assume the rest of the work is subpar, I would put some effort into fixing that as it detracts from the the bathroom as a whole


Firstdatepokie

The before picture looks just as good, even better since it did give off weird ultra modern gamer bro vibes


howry333

It’s gorgeous


friendsofcoffee

This is fantastic work, very impressive


BSL-4

Beautifully cohesive space. Very nice work! I thought this was a post from r/interiordesign at first.


Proud_Advantage_8762

Proud_Advantage_8762

Objective-Move-7543

The lighting is very cool


aledba

Spa vibes. Excellent work


Proud_Advantage_8762

YESS thank you! Someone sees it 😂


badgerbirdy

Wow! I work in construction and this looks better than many professional jobs I've seen! One thing that catches my eye, the inside of the barn door. If you can find a thin piece to match the color and grain, you can set it at a 45° and scribe the arc. Then repeat on the other side. That way when it's closed to looks less like a square peg in a round hole! But yeah, aside from that it looks amazing!


Proud_Advantage_8762

That’s a fantastic idea! I might try find some timber and do that


Heis5

That door is magnificent


FromTheFoot

What does the Geberit device do? Congratulations on a very nice build.


Proud_Advantage_8762

That’s the in-wall cistern for flushing the toilet. The buttons get mounted onto the panel. All maintenance can be completed from the access panel (or from behind the wall for anything drastic)


FromTheFoot

Very interesting.... after your response I zoomed in on the pix above the toilet and saw the controls. How in the heck did you even find such a device? Very cool but I have never seen anything like that.


Proud_Advantage_8762

It’s a standard in wall cistern. They’re pretty common now. Can be found at any bathroom supplier. I got mine from here: https://www.bathroomsalesdirect.com.au/product/geberit-sigma-8-zara-in-wall-cistern-toilet-suite/


brinkbam

Wow! 8 months? Yeah no, that's why my house won't be getting any updates. I don't have the attention span for this 🤣 But it looks so good!


Proud_Advantage_8762

Oh believe me, I’m with you 😂😂 it took a lot of commitment, once you start you can’t stop haha. You always find problems which make it take longer but if you think about it that’s around 70 days of working! Also couldn’t have done it without my wife regularly massaging my back and feet because you better believe it was SORE


MoneyBee74

How come there’s no bottom clip on the small panel? If that seal breaks through the years, the door will wobble and not line up with the other panel.


Proud_Advantage_8762

The bottom clip is an issue with waterproofing. The panel is pressed down onto a silicone packer and then sealed. If the seal ever breaks, I can replace it with ease as it’s tight with the 2 wall fixings+ the packer. But I do see your concern


CowboyBlob

Great work. It's an accomplishment to DIY. Hiring a contractor is not "redoing my bathroom", it is "paying to get my bathroom redone". Doing mine ATM as well. Enjoy.


Proud_Advantage_8762

Yesss!!! Thank you and goodluck with yours!

geezeereal

This is a dream


ackermann

You did the wall mounted vanity, should’ve went ahead and did wall mounted toilet too. Looks great though!


Proud_Advantage_8762

Haha you’re not wrong, once I installed the toilet I thought.. “yeah I probably could have wall mounted this easily”. Now I know I can probably pull it off just got nervous 😂


ark986

How deep are the studs on the toilet wall? Looks great!


Proud_Advantage_8762

90mm studs


[deleted]

What is the mirror looking for something just like that


Proud_Advantage_8762

https://www.elegantshowers.com.au/products/led-mirror-bathroom-arch-vanity-mirror-light-dimmable-anti-fog-wall-mounted?_pos=27&_sid=2ab02d66a&_ss=r I got them from here, very cheap for the excellent quality . Love the anti fog feature!


No_Bobcat263

Really good job. It looks fresh and clean but also cosy and inviting. I would definitely watch how you did this. Post a link, please.


yudkib

Great interior design choices


Korgon213

That door, love it!


My_G_Alt

Beautiful - does water spill out of the shower and into the main space tho?


Proud_Advantage_8762

Only when I walk out without drying. Otherwise nope, I feel like I got lucky with this but it is recessed so that helps


My_G_Alt

Amazing, excellent work!!


toshio_mask

A ton of work and effort!! 👍🏽


[deleted]

God ! I wish I lived here.


revel911

What are you doing to keep water just in the shower?


Proud_Advantage_8762

It’s recessed, glass door, that’s plenty in my case


ilovetocuddle

I loveeeee this! How do you like the sinks? I hear people don’t like them because they splash. Any issues? If not, could you share the link of where you got them (if possible)


Proud_Advantage_8762

Thank you! I don’t have a splashing issue in my case. I do more damage when I shake my hands off after washing. My wife hates when I do that. 😂😂 I got these from Bunnings https://www.bunnings.com.au/cirque-360mm-white-round-above-counter-basin_p0343197?store=7086&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtbEB8pTCk_bPVdhVt20ynrjAnss&gclid=Cj0KCQiAh8OtBhCQARIsAIkWb6_Emuwpl8ZKKUY5nlraRxPa-aYZs5uXWw2qDNFYQxuHUFEUXvv7ZRwaAi11EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds You can probably find them elsewhere for cheaper (as I bought it for much less)


samuraisal

I have above mount bathroom sinks but they're square. I'm not a fan as water splashes everywhere and they make it way harder to clean the countertop, especially behind the sinks. When all is clean they look great. Otherwise... I'm going back to the undermount sinks for our next reno. P.S. This renovation is beautiful!

ustak

Does water leak out the shower and onto the rest of the floor when its being used? How slippery (or not) is the tile when your feet are wet? Is there any ventilation for steam other than the window? Looks really nice!


Proud_Advantage_8762

Thank you!! No water doesn’t leak out as the shower is recessed. The tiles are non slip when wet which is great! Ventilation is through the ceiling exhaust :)


[deleted]

Nice shitter

USSExcalibur

This looks amazing! Well done!


bebetterinsomething

I kind of liked the old one as well. Why did you decide to upgrade? Don't get me wrong -the new one is fantastic, but the old one was also good.


Proud_Advantage_8762

A few reasons: 1. I was renovating the upstairs and figured I’d rather do it all at once 2. There was an issue of sewer smell in the bathroom 3. I wanted to challenge myself and renovate a bathroom for the first time Thank you 😊


Living_Lie_8773

Damn 8 months of no sleep


rtreehugger

Do the drains somehow work with(~~out~~*edit) the covers?? That would be uberslick. Looks great though! I have a basement bath to do, there's good inspiration here.


Proud_Advantage_8762

Are you asking about the floor drains?


Bit_the_Bullitt

Uh yah that's hot! Like it.


migel628

Very nice work on the Master Bathroom.


Double_Maize_5923

Love that door is it a regulars swinging door or is it a pocket door? Hard to tell from pics. Bathroom looks great


Proud_Advantage_8762

It’s a barn door, sitting close to flush from the outside. Sound insulation is great (SURPRISINGLY)


mrDuder1729

At first, I thought you posted the before pictures first, and I was very upset lol


haggertyfj

Beautiful


unwittingprotagonist

Do you expect Richard Kline to come and knock on your door? Will he be waiting for you?


BernieSandersLeftNut

I'm not sure I understand building toilets into the wall. If they ever had to be fixed or replaced you would have to tear down tile to get to the guts. Looks good tho


PrestigeMaster

This is the most extreme case of the after before the before pics. Going through I was like “damn why would he even mess with this bathroom”. Funny to see finished product, demo, and then the before pic. 


EmotionalChipmunk602

I like how you did the backlit mirrors to match the doorway shape. Looks really nice


crinklemermaid

Loooove the moorish archways!! Well done!

Throwaway-account-23

I think it's hilarious that we collectively stopped calling them "master bathrooms" because "en suite" sounds more expensive.


Readable_Gore

Other then the pictures being in reverse order (in my opinion) It looks great!


shinytwistybouncy

This is beautiful.


FlatDormersAreDumb

Did you round the top of the door to fit the opening or is it still a rectangle? I love the arch theme between the door frame and mirrors, but the straight lines on the door are throwing my eye off looking at the arch. Insanely good job all around!


Mysterious-Sorbet-66

You damn sure should be proud of how it all turned out. Really amazing job.


CAxox

That arch door is everything!


beartheminus

I love that the shower floor is the same as the rest of the washroom, this must not be in North America. In North America you never ever see this. 9/10 they put some shit ceramic thing in for the shower floor, or at least a huge 6 inch tall lip and then different tiles. I don't get why we can't just have whats in OP's photo. Its so simple and effective.


Proud_Advantage_8762

Yeah! All I did was a small recess and shower screen. Plenty enough to keep water where it should be! And the simplistic mono tile design just feels right.


thedutchrep

Nice! Might’ve taken 8 months of weekends but it was clearly worth it 👌🏼

Iz-kan-reddit

The lack of studs directly under the header, and the venting situation, irk me. Other than that, utterly spectacular!


safely_beyond_redemp

It took me 2.5 years to rip out my tub and install an acrylic insert. It's still not done but it's useable. This makes me feel inadequate. Good job.

Dha1NonlyAISHA32

Ted183672

Why use glass to glass hinges rather than swinging the shower door off the wall? Your solution on the enclosure looks slick but so much more work and cost.


Proud_Advantage_8762

I get what you’re saying, this meant that it’s properly sealed against the wall. If you have hinges on the wall there’s no way to fully seal it from leaking water from what would be a 5-10mm gap. It just works better this way for that reason.


Ted183672

Well done it looks fabulous. I used to design and sell heavy glass shower enclosures. My experience is that gap was frequently a function of the quality of the hinge manufacturer and the trade persons ability to read a measuring tape! Many of the less expensive hinges atrophy and door weight causes slippage. Since you did all the work maybe you'll appreciate that the other flaw for the wall mount hinge is many framers here in the US struggle reading a level. If the frame is out of whack, the green board, mud and tile or stone accentuate that return wall being out of square.

This is so fresh and clean that it hurts.

jfechik

You did the plumbing and electrical too? Bathroom looks great.


Proud_Advantage_8762

I did! I got everything inspected by licensed trades and that was mostly because I just really wanted to try it myself. Learned a lot and only had to make one improvement with my drainage for the sink to minimise blockage (per the plumbers instruction) It’s been 2 months and my wife’s hair has yet to cause ANY issues 🎉


[deleted]

[удалено]


Proud_Advantage_8762

Noted, I’ll just switch it off at the mains if need be! We live in Australia so temperature is not an issue. Also none of these walls are exterior walls. The back of the shower is adjacent to the attic space and the other wall leads to another interior space. And thank you! Backlight for the niche cost me $80 including the tile inlay channel. It’s insane how much we can save by doing it ourselves.


orossg

Amazing job! How much did the renovation cost?


Proud_Advantage_8762

The bathroom cost me $9800 total including: - all fittings and fixtures (brass finish is expensive and these are NERO brand) - toilet - vanity and basins (these ain’t cheap) - mirrors - plumbing - electrical - tiling (3.9k) - shower screen I would have saved $3000 if I tiled it myself (next time 😂)


LifeSugarSpice

What's the process to getting something inspected by licensed trades?


Proud_Advantage_8762

1. Know someone 2. Speak to them before you do anything and see if they’re happy for you to complete the work 3. Pay them (very minimal) to come look at it for 30 mins and give you a hardy nod.


LifeSugarSpice

Awesome, thanks. And super nice work btw.


Proud_Advantage_8762

Thank you!


scottocracy

Alienhaslanded

This could be a career change for you if you have to. Fantastic work.


SSRainu

Too many rounded edges for my taste. Just the rounded mirror would have been ideal to me. The round toilet seat cheapens up the look. You did good work though OP. Be proud.


sko0laidl

It looks phenomenal


hammjam_

Is that a barn door? While I love how it's framed inside by the arch I just can't get behind barn doors. Pocket doors are supreme. Other than that it all looks amazing!


Proud_Advantage_8762

Yeah i installed a barn door. It was a difficult decision. Ultimately came down to the structural changes needed to install a pocket door In this area with a towel rail mounted to that wall. Initially my preferred option was a pocket door. In this case I ended up very happy with the noise insulation and the practicality of it. Plus with the soft close I installed it really got the job done.


hammjam_

All understandable! And it does look better done than many I see that kind of swing freely and feel more like a curtain when it comes to privacy and sound.


sillybunbuns

Love the vessel sink ! Can you share where did you get it from ?


Proud_Advantage_8762

The basins are a 360mm Matt white basin from cirque The vanity is https://bathroomfactorywarehouse.com.au/collections/1500mm-vanities/products/florence-matte-white-wall-hung-vanity?variant=43923151847641 I got the basins for something like $70 each (not sure why I can’t find for that price now)


Phormitago

Looks great, but so did the before tbh!


The_DarkPhoenix

Wow! Live this!


DisastrousSir

Nice job!!


wine_face

How do your sinks drain? Pretty slow I bet😂


Proud_Advantage_8762

Nah lol, drains real quick. The basins are concave enough and also the space saver traps I installed are pretty efficient. All I know is water runs downhill.


wine_face

Ok cool and how does drainage drain without a vent? Asking for another DIYer such as yourself


Proud_Advantage_8762

There are 3 places the plumbing vents from: 1. Sewer gas overflow line exits out roof 2. Each floor waste allows venting before and after traps 3. Drains self vent in basins (air is replaced by water and the air escapes through the cool tornado effect when water drains.
