Babyproofing the House Project
Remodeling the Master Bathroom VideoBob talks with Nick Beasley, owner of the Melrose home, about the layout of the home before and after remodeling. The house previously featured a half-bathroom off the master bedroom and a full bathroom off the hallway, so the layout was reversed during remodeling. Beasley reviews some of the work that had to be done for this including demolition, replacing the old plumbing, reframing, and re-leveling the floor. New Pella two-over-one windows were installed in the master bathroom, which are in keeping with this older home. Bob reviews the installation of the Corian tub deck in the master bathroom, which was custom made using a digital template. Appropriate colors were then chosen for the bathroom to create flow to the master bedroom. Because of the layout of the bathroom, a half-wall was installed at one end of the bathtub. Bob reviews how Classic Glass of Stoneham, Mass., worked with the tile to install the glass and mount the curtain rod for the bathtub. Bellacor lighting fixtures were selected to complement the home's character and style. A pedestal sink was installed and a beautiful hexagon tile floor helps unify the whole room. Beasley demonstrates how the new window shades can be raised from either the top or the bottom.
