35. An admirable job!

Must have cost a lot of money!

Our home is less than 80 years old, but the kitchen and bathroom got the makeover too.

Your reno is a work of art though, ours is more of the 'basic but practical' school of thought.

Bathroom workers, them of Middle Eastern descent, worked their butts off in the bathroom, never even stopping for lunch.
Worked out later it was the time of Ramadan!

Did some work in there myself though - grab rails, and plenty of them, some vertical and some horizontal to double as towel rails, shelving.
Just to put my personal touch on it.

I'd suggest one grab rail near the shower, for when you close your eyes, and one near the toilet, to make getting up easier as you get older.
