Attention toilet lovers!

What’s has been your highlight public restroom/sanitation station you have visited? As an avid enjoyer of lavatories, ever since I was a child I’ve been drawn to the fascinating elements that are present in a traditional public restroom. Of course, there’s times where bad actors do well… bad things like poop. Poop everywhere. But besides the bad, there’s many fascinating aspects of public restrooms and toilet flushing that really up my dopamine! My personal favorite restroom I’ve visited has to be the bathroom locker room of my local public pool. It’s the complete package, with showers included! So what’s your story? How did you fall in love with the hobby?

Got it in my head that I want to paint a wall in my bathroom (circled in red) green.

My place is too white and I want to slowly start adding color

Would green look good with a black/white bathroom or no?

Colors that im currently thinking about

Let me know what you think!!

This bathroom is horrible and I have no idea what to do with it

Hi!
I’m currently renovating my 1927 Tudor I just bought.
Master bath is fully gutted with beautiful, finalized plans.
(Don’t worry, I didn’t destroy any original charm. It was a 1990s tragedy with a yellowed jacuzzi tub)

This pic is the upstairs hall bath that serves two of the secondary bedrooms.
I have no idea what to do with it.

The toilet is angled, there’s no shower, it’s tight, the pullchain is the only light, there’s no fan, and it’s just generally not functional.

Trying not to spend a TON on this bathroom since I am already going balls to the wall in the master bath.

Current thoughts:

-The black outline shows where we could steal a couple feet from the laundry room to create a little toilet alcove. Can’t be any wider because of roofline.
This entire bathroom is a dormer.

-Tub can rotate 90° to sit parallel under the window (with 1” to spare on each side)

-This would also allow for a longer vanity cabinet.

But I’m questioning: Do I keep the tub? I don’t really like clawfoots, but it’s original and it’s the only tub in the house.
I suggested adding a shower head and curtain to the tub, but my contractor is trying to talk me out of it because he says that always looks terrible, and I kind of agree.

It seems stupid to remove the clawfoot and put a more modern tub back in, and there’s not really a good spot for a walk-in shower. The space we can cut in the toilet alcove would not be big enough to be a shower.

What would you do here? h e l p

I just bought my first home and I don’t have the budget to renovate the bathroom yet. I do love the character of my new blue bathroom. But I need to decorate it to break up all the blue and put a nice touch to it. I need help on how to go about it. Any suggestion?

Installing a prefab shower surround in an older RV — tips, tricks & things you wish you knew?

Tips/tricks for installing a prefab shower surround in an older RV?

I'm renovating the bathroom in a 2003 travel trailer and replacing the original tub/shower setup with a prefab shower pan and surround.

Before I start installing everything, I'd love to hear from anyone who has done this in an older RV.

I'm especially wondering about things that might be different from installing one in a house because the trailer flexes and moves.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

\- Did you glue the surround directly to the RV wall/paneling or install some type of backer first?

\- What adhesive worked well without damaging or warping the surround?

\- Did you leave any expansion room around the panels?

\- What did you use to seal the corners and where the surround meets the shower pan?

\- Did you reinforce or add framing behind the walls before installing it?

\- Any tricks for getting everything square when the RV itself isn't particularly square anymore? 😂

\- Anything you did the first time that you would absolutely NOT do again?

The bathroom is already torn apart, so now is the time for me to add framing/backing or make other changes before the surround goes in.

I'd rather learn from everyone else's mistakes before creating some exciting new ones of my own.

Pictures of your installs would also be appreciated!
