When we first bought our house, we hadn't thought much about the master bath except that there was some nasty carpet and found it weird that there was a door that separated the shower/tub and toilet from the rest of it. There was no door to either the sink area or the closet.

 |
| Master closet |
 |
| Weird door separating them and an awful paint job |
When we moved in we had the flooring ripped up and replaced the carpet in all the rooms, but decided to use wood laminate in the bathroom and master closet to match the flooring in the other parts of the house.
 |
| Carpet all torn up |
 |
| Master Closet |
 |
| All done and door removed |
 |
| Laying the laminate |
 |
| Carpet all gone and everything repainted |
We still hated the wall and door frame that separated it. We decided to open it up and see what we had.
 |
| Starting the tear it down |
 |
| Fixing the wiring |
 |
| All gone |
 |
| Patched the wall decently |
We noticed that we were having some issues with mold and the drywall looked awful. We decided it was time to finally gut the bathroom. We hired a local neighbor who owns his own company
ILO Home Remodeling Inc. He gave a great deal and we decided to start right away.
 |
| This is the reason we remodeled |
 |
| We started buying the furnishings, we were able to fit this door in my Subaru |
 |
| Everything stored in our extra room ready to go |
 |
| Staining the new closet door |
Our contractor, Larry started and gutted everything.
 |
| Found out the toilet had been leaking and we could've fallen through had we waited longer! |
 |
| Floor wasn't even anymore due the water damage, so he had to level it |
 |
| Putting new subflooring in |
 |
| Slowly getting there |
 |
| Installing the pocket doors, now we have one to the bathroom and the closet |
 |
| Getting the shower framed out |
 |
| Closet with the old shelving removed |
 |
| Pocket closet door installed |
 |
| Tile going up |
 |
| Shower looking good |
 |
| Plumbing for the double vanity |
 |
| Toilet ready to be installed |
 |
| New closet door |
 |
| Drywall in the master bedroom |
 |
| New rain door to the bathroom |
 |
| To save money, we painted everything ourselves |
 |
| Merry Christmas to Us! |
 |
| Pouring the champagne |
 |
| Cheers! |
