From Megan:
Our whole house was a mess when we bought it. Nothing had ever been updated properly. The bathroom was our first major interior project and not being very handy, we hired someone to do it for us. It was completely gutted because there were rotten joists in the floor and there wasn't anything salvageable in the room. It also had a very cramped feeling, so we changed the layout at the suggestion of our contractor.
We purchased an old sink and tub in Baltimore, and the rest is new. We kept it very simple -- we don't have lots of stuff, so the storage is limited to a medicine cabinet and two niches on the wall behind it, using cedar left over from our backyard redo for shelves. It's now a much happier (and safer!) space.

Thanks, Megan!

It's hard to get an idea of what it looked like 'before' but the after is nicely done.
From what I can see from the first photo, that bathroom was pretty awful. Nice update!
I have the same layout in my mid century home. That's exactly what I wanted to do. I wasn't sure what to do for the flooring but that octogonal tile is awesome ! And it also gives me an adea of what to do when you have a window in the shower : put tiles around it !
Our tiny bathroom is in the same configuration as the before pic. Was it costly to switch the placement of the tub and the toilet? This is a great reno.
love the raised tub. like most of it actually.
don't so much love the woolly wall pocket planter against the painted wall.
would love to know your budget!
Photos in this aren't great. From the before of just a loo and a pole, to the cut off photos in the after. Weird.
beautiful! I like the dark grout.
Agree with above - nice reno, but the photos leave something to be desired and without knowing the cost, it's tough to say.
Megan here---I updated my blog (http://www.urbantastes.com/2012/11/20/bathroom-re-do/) with a couple more 'before' photos and there are also a bunch more afters there as well. It's a very small space so it's very tricky to capture everything at once. Budget was around 10K, maybe a bit more after we had to have some unexpected plumbing work done---basically replacing the main pipe up to the bathroom. I don't remember it being that expensive to move the tub since there was plumbing there already and it's such a small space but it definitely did not change costs dramatically. Definitely worth it though. The bathroom feels much more spacious now.
I have that swimming print forever on my wish list. It looks great in your bathroom! Now I'll have to pull the trigger soon.
a floor plan here would be very helpful. for those who would follow this rehab: modern tilers a/o 12" mats of hex use larger amounts of grout between tiles than 100 years ago, can look checkered instead of historic. windows in showers are tricky, as daily pounding of water on grout & into corners at windows causes mold issues, buckling tiles, possibly serious damage all the way into joists repaired here; impervious curtain & sealed grout are mandatory. here, the salvaged sink & tub are commendable, the grey grout & weird baseboard tile @tub chop up space.
