Master Bathroom Remodel (The Master Plan)

Before I start flooding you with pictures of the work that we did with the remodel (if that's the right word), I thought it'd be beneficial to provide an explanation of the plan that we had come up with. As I'm sure Ive said before, our home was built in the 50's and NEVER touched (as far as we could tell). OK, so maybe the upstairs was finished in the 70's, but we'd like to forget that ever happened.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms with a shared bathroom in between that is entered from the hallway. We weren't keen on sharing our bathroom with everyone who entered the house, mostly because that would mean we'd need to keep it looking really tidy...all of the time. We decided that the space would be best used to create a master bathroom, and then add a powder room on the hallway for company. We did so by removing a few small closets, and re purposing the second first floor bedroom into an office/nursery. Here is a visual explanation of the changes that we made (not to scale, but you get the gist of it):

We only have one picture of what the first floor bathroom looked like when we bought the house:

So you got rid of the paneling AND the pink tiles? I can't believe this. Great picture though...
