I get the hotel vibe from it as well. Like a Motel 6 kind of vibe where everything is cheap, replaceable, and attached so you can clean it out quick and easy whether for quick turnaround or because it has a pretty good chance for being used as a crime scene. It's not a home, it's an investment, and it shows.


I imagine the shelving attached to the wall is probably not attached to studs and will fall over in a month or so, taking the drywall with it.

His bizarre pebble plan thing is straight out of a hotel. Surrounding your tub with rocks is fine when you have maids spritzing them with bleach every day or so, not so much in a home.

If you haven't checked out that thread's OP, you really should just to get a sense for how wildly off-base that dude was with regards to what looks good.

Like, he had a nice bathroom, and he seriously wanted to change this:

Yeah, his initial bathroom was really great. The only change I would have made was replacing the jacuzzi tub with a regular tub in the same place.

It's especially crazy that he thought his design would appeal to women more than the original.

I don't have a vagina, and I don't identify as :females: but that original bathroom layout was the platonic ideal of languidly soaking with rose petals, champagne and aromatherapy candles.

Clearly he decided that the panties would be dropping when he regailed his female guests with his original design and DIY vision.

It also looks like, from the reflection, that there is a sink an giant counter on each side of the bathroom. His new design has literally less than 1/8th the counter space.

All that bathroom needed were some bathroom rugs to keep from slipping, and a little stool for his presumed lady friends to sit to do their makeup on that low counter. I showed my wife and she liked the bathroom, particularly because it's so roomy. Why gently caress it up?

Our bathroom is really hurting for counter space which becomes an issue when my wife is doing her makeup and hair. She'd be in heaven with ten plus feet of counter to deposit her MAC makeup, hair irons, curlers, blow dryers, etc.

All that bathroom needs is a Champaigne fridge :quagmire:

The best thing about the thread is that he has yet to give a single sensible reason for his renovation project. It's all about vague "aesthetics" and "resale value" and :females: despite his never mentioning any concrete plans to sell the house. He compromised his floor joists for a sunken tub he's admitted he's never going to use, in a house that it doesn't seem like he plans to sell. For all I know, he got infected with some kind of brain parasite that commanded him to start loving up his house to lure its true reproductive hosts, county building inspectors and engineers that advertise on Craigslist.

The layout was a little odd. I probably would have moved the tub from the middle of the room to where one of the sinks is located and take the remaining sink area and add another basin.

You should read the thread. He said repeatedly that he wasn't remodeling the bathroom for himself, but to lure :females:

He sawed a giant hole in his floor joists to install a sunken bathtub and then said he only takes three baths a year

This. That original bathroom was beautiful. It legit hurts me to look at those mid-demolition photos. He took a wonderful bathroom and destroyed it to turn it into...... some horrible minimalist modern... just... garbage.

Like I'm legit serious when I say people who enjoy modern design need to be sent to camps. They're all diseased just like bEatmstrJ. That whole architecture and design aesthetic are loving ugly as poo poo and people who like it are bads. They're all bads and they deserve to die. In Hitler's showers.
