All the major stuff anyway, just have to get shelving up and some other little details. Unfortunately, I don't have my digital camera right now and this borrowed one doesn't allow me to get decent shots in a small space. And I can't adjust the exposure, so it looks strange because the lighting comes from behind the mirror.

The sink table is made from 4x4 hard maple. The top is granite with a light speckle, which just doesn't show in the pics. I had it cut with rough edges to give that real stone feel. It's held up from the table by 3/4" spacers I made from a chrome rod, same one I used to make the towel bar across the front. The sink is a clear glass bowl. The mirror is offset from the wall by an MDF frame with 9 mini-base 60 watt bulbs around it, so they can't be seen but backlight the mirror. I wanted to do this to bring out the character of the stone. The walls are natural American slate in random patterns and colors. Floors are tile and go up the wall for two tiles.

I still need to put glass shelves inside the open space on the left wall, and probably some on the back wall. A TP dispenser is still a necessity, though I might just build one myself from the leftover stone. I love that stuff. I am also planning to put a shelf near the bottom of the table, but haven't decided what it should look like.



















Here's the old bathroom...







And some of the destruction I had to go through...



















Hey, my new shitter is not only this cool all-in-one aerodynamic unit, it has a self-closing shock absorber lid:

Awesome! Seriously like somthing from a magazine or TV show.

Carlos, Nice job. The stone work tile looks real cool. What triggers the
toilet lid closure? A flush? Maybe thats what I should do to keep
Dee from bitchen about puttin the lid down.

Later, Cal

Beautiful job!! You must not have kids or that sink would be a disaster. Doesn't this belong in the Handyman section?? Great job again!!

Heh, I'd probably put one in there, except remember I'm a speed-shitter. I take the Pocket PC in there, but I'm usually done by the time I open the browser.


It's not quite that automatic. You give it a push and it lowers itself slowly.


Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier. It would be a challenge for kids. Plus if you open the faucet too much, the curve of the bowl shoots the water back out the front.


Oops, already forgot I made that section. Man, I'm tired. Two weeks of this has run me ragged.

I like the old shitter better...........




J/K :grin: Nice work.

Carlos, The Sink is real cool. I like the integrated towel rack also.
Looks like the saw paid off with the precision cuts on the
corner angles and such. Nice and clean, smooth fit!

Cal

Quite the handyman. looks great. :grin:

Paul

Wow! I'm impressed. :!:

Looks awsome Carlos. Love the new shitter.

Love the tile work, it's quite and improvement.

Gorgeous. I have to make sure my wife never sees it! :lol:

Gorgeous. I have to make sure my wife never sees it! :lol:

Very nice. I love the stone. I see you went from the old 3.5 gallon per flush to the 1.6. When I renovated my bathroom, I ordered a 3.5 gpf toilet from Canada. Those little flushers can't handle a mans load. :grin:

Carlos,
One word man "Fuckingfantastic"!!!!!!!!!

Wow! :shock: I can't believe the amount of work you got done in such a short time. Looks great!

Very nice, I am extremely inpressed.
The speed at which you got it done and the finished design...... wow!

Hay, seeing how your so good and all I got a basement bathroom that needs some help, and a ....... Oh nevermind! :razz: :grin:

Very impressive carlos. Nice work. :lol:

Thanks guys. It doesn't seem fast when you don't have a working shitter... :grin:


Strangely enough, the new one is much more efficient. In fact I haven't had a double-flusher yet, and that's my normal standard. Must be in the design.

Ding Bathroom's done

:lol: TJ :lol:

Whoa, smoke your breakfast today? :)

Damn it, now I'm going to have that song running through my head all day.

MUUUUUUAAAAAHHH HA HA HA HA!!

Then my work here is done..
:wink: TJ :wink:

So that is the end result.

Looks cool as hell!

Please post some pictures of the hallway when it is done.

Hugo

Really nice looking. Design and execution are par excellance!

Terry

Looks killer Carlos, excellent work! :grin:

That looks awesome, Carlos. Love the backlighting with the mirror - verry cool. :cool:

Thanks again guys.

So, was it too anal of me to build my own TP dispenser and light sconce because the ones available in stores didn't meet my standards...?

(The mirror backlighting is good mood light for a shower or having a dump, but insufficient for shaving or picking splinters out of my fingers, so I added a halogen 500w above the door.)

If there is one thing you can be anal about, it's TP :grin: !

Hugo

I know I'm looking at 8 month old posts, but I wanna see your fancy shitter Carlos. All I see is red x's and these guys sound like they wanna fuck you after seeing that shitter.

I'm assuming it's at the old house ... any plans for the new?
