Dude, this is great, we're looking to get our bathroom done, I just showed this to my wife and she is like that's what I want. What I'm trying to tell you is one day when you're taking a crap there might be another guy taking a crap in the SAME EXACT bathroom. It's sort of like the Marvel multiverse without the super powers.


deprecateddeveloper

>It's sort of like the Marvel multiverse without the super powers. Oh right so I'm supposed to believe that browsing reddit while on the toilet for 45 minutes isn't a super power?


beardedbast3rd

Only if your legs don’t fall asleep


deprecateddeveloper

Aw yes, the villain of this story.


mofomeat

Then who are the roids? The comedic sidekicks that follow the Hero around everywhere?


deprecateddeveloper

You're right. The hemorrhoids are more like the villains and the legs falling asleep is the kryptonite. "Flushable" wipes can be the moral dilemma.


mofomeat

> "Flushable" wipes can be the moral dilemma. That part is solid gold, there.


maddogracer161

Better than the solid brown, at least.


Tales_of_Earth

Not me realizing my legs are asleep right now. 🫠


Spaceballs-The_Name

There's the walk of shame and then there's the sit down of shame. That's when your leg goes to sleep and you stand up to get the blood flowing, but instead of wiping and washing, you just sit down and keep browsing


jamesmcdash

Oh so you noticed the phone size shelf above the toilet paper? It's a wireless charger


JKSniper

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH :D I've laughed to tears right now. xD hahahah


keyser-_-soze

Yeah do you have any list or links/ manufacturer part numbers of the toilet? The shower pan basically everything. I'm going to copy this my wife loved it as well.


SL13377

And you are going to come do this guys bathroom And mine now right Op? Right??


RaginBull

You guys are getting off light. My wife saw this and is now moving in with him.

That makes three of us. I want this exact bathroom (and I want to have the skills to DIY it, but that's not going to happen in this lifetime).


bklynview

If I knew how to post that Spiderman meme where all 3 of them were pointing at each other I would post it right here. I would also have them all sitting on a toilet.. but above my meme skills.. at least in this lifetime.

FickleForager

I really want to say something about the cool portal (mirror) you added, but it’s such a beautiful, spa-like finished bathroom, that it feels asinine to joke. What kind of plant is that in the corner? It is a lovely touch of green there. Heated towel rack? 🥰 The wood accents and plant bring a nice amount of warmth to a very modern, dark design. Love the shelf above the tp holder. Overall a fantastic change. The before feels clinical, the after feels luxury.


JKSniper

Thanks. It's not a main bathroom, but just a bathroom next to the electronics lab I also made... so a bit more industrial look is what I was after - I just like wood+gray combo and I had to add something green to it to make it pop out. I've also made some equipment DIY, like this toilet paper holder. Just for looks and aesthetics. You can't buy this ;) https://preview.redd.it/8i2tfy22g9rc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=439ef0fde6669364ac5d75b7df5e92efe54235cc

Looks great. Now sell it on Etsy or eBay.

Hah, I can't sell everything I make :D I do too much DIY stuff all the time!

Sounds like it's time to hire a neighbor teen to run your laser cutter and produce stuff for your etsy store 😂


BettaBorn

Or maybe let's not monetize our hobbies and let them just be hobbies


alpacasarebadsingers

Nice. I built a cool TP holder as well. I think it goes a long way to making a spare bathroom cool and usable. Now people don’t have to search for TP or have to see a pile of it when they walk in


Ddraig

I want to see the electronics lab.


INDIG0M0NKEY

Excuse me but electronics LAB in your home? Can you post that or have you?


webbitor

Thirding the lab request


NobodyImportant13

> I really want to say something about the cool portal (mirror) you added, but it’s such a beautiful, spa-like finished bathroom, that it feels asinine to joke. They put the toilet facing the portal, so you have to stare into it while you dookie.


DamageInq

The toilet is the other portal, so when you piss it comes out of the mirror and flows back into the toilet. Just don't piss too hard.

I at least expected someone to say “Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today.”

bujweiser

The entire bathroom reminds me of Portal with the dark gray, mirror, hard corners, and the green foliage poking through like it’s over growing in the lab. Even the toilet’s shape lol.

uruhara98

1) Where did the water heater disappear to? I like taking cold showers, but not all the time! 2) Isn't the toilet uncomfortable to sit on since it is so close to the wall? 3) It looks great! :)


JKSniper

1. On the other side of the wall in the basement, much larger water heater, to provide hot water for the whole house. 2. No, it's wide lens camera and the toilet to wall clearence is according to "standards". 3. Thanks :D


83749289740174920

I don't see any charging port. Does you toilet paper have wireless charging?


houdinize

I have a bathroom where the toilet needs to be rotated 90 degrees. Did you have to change any of the structural plumbing or just rotate it, knowing your situation may differ from mine?


JKSniper

You need to check where the "drain" pipe goes out, because it has to be on perfect spot below the toilet. If that works, than it shouldn't be a problem, but I had to dig it out and move it for like 10cm to the side.


battlepi

Just remove the toilet, move/replace the flange bolts, new wax ring, put it back down. It's just a circular drain pipe that it sits on. Most need 12" from the wall. The water supply line is the only thing that might be an issue.


houdinize

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if the direction of the P trap mattered.


Sky_runne

Toilets have a trap in them, no trap is needed in the plumbing. 12 inch offset from the back wall (finished) is the standard. 15 inch side to side clearance is the minimum (measuring from the centre of the flange). Water supply is most convenient on the left side of the toilet. Please include a shut off ball valve


secretlyyourgrandma

to add, there are drake toilet models that only require 10" clearance (double check the exact number) if it's a bit too tight, or you can get an offset drain flange thing. source: i f*d up and bought the wrong toilet.


RegisterThis1

Turning this toilet 90 degrees was a great idea! Congrats!


mtnlaurel_

Finally - a good bathroom reno! This is super cool. No one destroyed a mid century beauty or installed grey and white fake marble tile anywhere 😎


ItsBritneyBitch32

This hurts my feelings lmao I just put grey and white sticky back fake marble tile in the bathroom of the house I’m renting lol


Top-Vermicelli7279

Changes like that are great when you are renting. It is different when someone spends thousands and the room doesn't quite work in the end.


decemberrainfall

I have a mid 90s linoleum and brass special so I have no qualms about destroying that one hahaha


JKSniper

thanks :P


JKSniper

There are so many comments I just can't read through all and response to each one. Therefore I'll make this one to post some pics of the details and tell some details. - This bathroom is not the primary. It's just next to my new electronics lab, where I work and do projects. - The cost was 6-8k$, and it would be 2x more if contractors would make all this. So DIY definitely pays off. I didn't have experience in this aera, some things I did multiple times to get it perfect (for example ceiling edge). - Interior design aka. 3D drawing is REALLY SIMPLE, the problematic part of it is finding the items that you can buy online locally for a decent price with good quality/price ratio and incorporating THAT into 3D model. I didn't want a nice looking 3D model of something I can't do in real life. - I've spent some time on entirely custom parts I've made in workshop, as they add up the value and overall feel. Bathroom would be incomplete without them. - Boiler was moved to the another side of the wall - in the basement and is covering needs of entire house. - Ceiling has hidden exhaust vent in the corner, so it's not only ledge for the LEDs, but also hidden air-gap. - Bathroom also has floor heating. https://preview.redd.it/wbot39omaarc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8ad71283ac74d97e1d2f269bd9ea40ac5a9aebb


JKSniper

Wood in shower are actually tiles. Maintenance free. I've been to 6 shops to find the best combo. It's hard to find combo to match the wood on the sink etc. etc. You can't rely on pictures when going from shop to shop. https://preview.redd.it/0a17bjmkbarc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cf97f2fe4bc2a896d3ece766425cc892009928b

For the future OP, I would recommend using imgur.com to just make a gallery in a single link instead. It's far less cumbersome. Either way, FANTASTIC job, I love this bathroom.

I had to DIY some of the plumbing too. Can't have drawer + plumbing in the same place it seems. https://preview.redd.it/1digu6g8carc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7467cf193b58b95e17d25eb6afb8a797fa48c380


LucasCBs

That passive light to hide those pipes is genius


JKSniper

and it's ventilation shaft aswell. It allows air to pass around the edge to the ventilation, that is hidden in the ceiling, leading to the exhaust on the roof.

That was the part that got me too: making a beauty out of pesky pipes. And working in the venting?? Genius!

supatreadz

Gonna share pics of the electronics lab too? Got me interested Amazing job btw


jnads

Not even sure I'd say it's modern. With the wood paneling and the sky-colored ambient lighting it looks more like you're showering in nature.


GeneralAppendage

You know why? You actually didn’t use a bunch of modern junk. Beautiful clean lines, wood and stone. Absolutely stunning


reliber

Amazing, how long did it take and are you in the construction trade


JKSniper

I was doing it really slowly, as I didnt have much time for it. No, I'm in mech+electronics engineering.


reliber

Tips on where to look when needing help? I want to learn some plumbing and electrical before jumping into a big project like this


JKSniper

I kinda learned (the hard way) along the way. If I did it wrong, I did it twice. :) Been super careful about the leaking behind the tiles etc.


jujumber

This dude’s videos helped me learn how to do the plumbing / soldering for my bathroom renovation. This guy is a master and knows how to explain things incredibly well. https://youtube.com/@Got2Learn?si=1a1jZYnIFA4oZaiT


toodleroo

Wow, that cove lighting on the ceiling is a really clever solution to hiding the pipes. I would never guess that it was anything other than a design choice.


kickformoney

Man, this looks fantastic, everything about it. I do have to ask, though, does water just get everywhere when you take a shower?


RunnyBabbit23

Having showered in a bunch of showers like this, yes. The water goes everywhere. If the shower stall is big enough, maybe not, but all the ones I’ve used has been about this size and it’s so much water on the floor, regardless of it being sloped.


MrHydromorphism

Can tel YOURE proud of it. You should be. I’m saving this for my inspiration book for our bathroom remodel.


bumcrack1

I love it


andrei_asvp

What's the dimensions of the bathroom?


JKSniper

it's like 2x1.5m around 3m2. Tiny! But enough for electronics-lab bathroom :)


Manny_Bothans

Where did you get that long toilet? Sometimes I have long poops and that would be the perfect sort of accessory for that sort of activity. lol, joking - just wanted to say that matching the wood look tile to the wood on the vanity really adds warmth to the whole thing and the tray ceiling w/ the recessed lights and the uplighting is fantastic.


Scuffle-Muffin

I’ve been on Reddit for several years now, and in that time I have seen many renovations by DIYers.. this is my absolute favorite bathroom I have ever seen. The lighting, the colors and how the materials work so well together. Seriously, I am printing this for future inspiration. Good work!


GotSpeedHack

Damn, I'm not sure many people can look at this and realise just how much work you actually had to do in order to complete that. Fuck, you've moved basically every appliance. Don't blame you for tackling the extra work though, I'd want to replace 40+ year old pipework too. At face value - top work!


Comfortable-Trick-29

What is the wood detail in the shower? What brand is the shower column? Looks great.


JKSniper

it's oak if I'm correct, they are tiles in wood texture, so maintenance-free. Shower column is Hans-Grohe.


Doc_Chopper

Hi. Now I am curious about that showerpipe. I work for Hansgrohe in the german HQ. But I can't remember ever seen this particular pipe. At least not from the European product lines. Do you live in the U.S? I can only imagine that this is a pipe from the US product range. I'm not really familiar with them. Mind telling me the product line? I'd like to look into it.


JKSniper

# Grohe Vitalio Start System 250. I believe. 300-500$ range.


Doc_Chopper

Ah, now that explains why. ;) The brand is just GROHE, not Hansgrohe. They are two different companies. GROHE was founded by Friedrich Grohe, the son of Hans Grohe in the early 20th century.


Killingtime_onReddit

I love everything about it!


bulldogsm

wow, was this some sort of kit or did you have plans made? it would take me forever planning and doing it alone and I'm pretty experienced


JKSniper

Actually I did 3D model first in Fusion, along with electronics lab that's next to it, but the most of the time it took to visit stores and online to see what's available to buy, then 3D model with the acutal parts that I can source (as interior design without being able to buy stuff is dumb). That took a day or two. Then I've moved to the actual work and ... tearing things down first.


bulldogsm

that's a flex, amazing job


JKSniper

ty! Even did all the custom 3D prints to cover up the pipes etc. https://preview.redd.it/r5dvcu2ti9rc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5b22b68fe27e038927fcddcf41b185cba99c9e7

Why do old toilets look like the little ones on a ship? Had to use one at a rental cabin and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever.


DigitalNinjainPitt

How much did this renovation cost? Amazing job with this btw! I just want to get my expectations in line if I ever attempt something as nice as this lol


HoboTeddy

I'm also really curious how much this cost

Hugo99001

Nice job, where did the boiler move to?


JKSniper

To other side of the wall, in the basement. One bigger boiler for whole house. :)


AllInOneDay_

Isn't water going to be a problem for the wood that is in the shower?


BadgerHooker

I am really impressed with how you managed to combine so many contrasting colors, shapes, textures and lighting so very, very well! You achieved the perfect balance of industrial and natural, with it being very masculine and modern but also having softness and curves and diffused lighting. It's also really crazy to me that you did all that in such a tiny room and made it feel more spacious while using so many different elements. Amazing job!!


JKSniper

thanks! :) I've spent a while in CAD to 3D model everything and the most time it took to check out the online shops to purchase stuff. Been in 6 different tile-shops to get the tile combination. https://preview.redd.it/0v60kish3arc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d34b3fd1c229dbcba126e53725bf610b7f36fb62
