Thanks for the compliments. Im still so happy at how it all turned out. Ive got so much more confidence moving onto our master bathroom which is also coated in that ugly brown acrylic and is 5'x13'. Seriously a hallway bathroom. The lights dont seem to be made anymore but if you google for "elan 24" brushed nickel led" theres some similar ones and the style matches. We ended up really springing for the right lights. We bought and returned like 4 different sets because color temperature and lumens and the glass color made a gigantic difference in the ambiance. Final cost all in for that bathroom was $13,000 and took us about 6 months. 3 months was waiting on that vanity (backordered) and another month was just killed in the "oh god im scared to move to the next step, have i watched enough youtube videos?!" The only hire out was the plumbers and that was around 2800 and worth every penny.

My last job was at an outsourced IT firm and one of their big clients is an apartment management company that owns over two dozen buildings in my city. I was at one of the buildings to look at an issue and I noticed that they appeared to have converted a janitorial closet into a random restroom. 100% certain that is not ADA compliant.

MY WIFE did all the tearout on ours, helped me drag the old tub out and set the new whirlpool bath. We had to cut the drywall to angle it in, but no studs were harmed. She also set the pedestal sink and textured and tiled the walls. Liberally, but it looks ok.

Super functional, with plenty of minimalist class. I mean, it's a little too minimalist for my own tastes, but I'm the guy with the loving school-bus yellow bathroom drinking Mai Tais instead of Scotch in the tub, so you know. It's a top-tier example of builder quality in a DIY job!

Mine is a million years old and has the same issue. I heard there's some coating they use to make it so slippery bacteria can't get a foothold, but mine must be so old it's worn off. (Or from before its invention!) Anyone know if there's an aftermarket version?

Anyone know if there's an aftermarket version? Isn't it just the quality of the porcelain surface? I suppose maybe after so many years you could have mineral buildup. Maybe soak it in some CLR or white vinegar?

I'm sure the OP is still lurking here, and even though we're busting his balls, I'm sure that most of us, myself included hope that he gets poo poo worked out properly. Don't take this personally OP but I had a flash of inspiration after work last night, when I was showering in my (builder grade) bathroom. Here is my latest creation, which I call "The Sounds of Building Science". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgbBLKet14E Hello bathroom my old friend I've come to alter you again. This builder grade poo poo is just not for me I need a ballin place where I can pee And the vision that was formed inside my brain is so insane Its just not sound........... building science I cut through studs inside my walls all those cuts they were not small It felt just like i had no choice, When i cut the tops off my floor joists When i posted pictures on the somethiiiiiiing awful boards they came in hordes It was not sound.... building science and in that thead they  Ten thousand goons or maybe more People posting without helping Some creepy fucker who tried doxxing someone wrote a song that voices will never share No one cares Disturbing building.... Science Fools that I do not know Mold just like a cancer grows Hear the things that I might just do In this place where I take a poo But my tub like a giant boulder fell Echoing the sounds of building science To a moldy god they pray How much more will grow today And the floor it creaked in its warning All that rot that has been forming And the goons said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls. As my bathroom falls It was not soundd......... building science.......

When I remodeled the lone (at the time) bathroom in my house I kept the 50+ year old Standard toilet as it flushed so well and I was worried about new hippy eco toilets. When I converted a closet into a half bath later I used a new Kohler toilet with some kind of "air flush" thing and man it is fantastic! I could definitely see it taking on the nugget challenge.

My friend's apartment has a very frustrating bathroom:  Why would someone do that. Why. His apartment is in a building from 1890 that has clearly been divided and re-divided and partially/badly renovated a million times. It was originally an office building, I think. His apartment used used to be two incredibly tiny studios that they stuck together, so he ended up with a one-bedroom with two full bathrooms. The back wall of his closet is actually a permanently locked door to the hallway.For fun, here's the horrorshow that was my old apartment's bathroom! It was in a house built in 1855, so the bathrooms were tacked on to the back of the house when indoor plumbing became available. (I live in a small town in a rural state, so I'm sure it took a while.)  Very narrow doorway, slanted ceiling, tiny mirror that only reflected your shirt when you stood at the sink.  What happens when you have wood flooring in the bathroom that isn't properly sealed? Someday the toilet leaks, the floor turns black, and mold grows on it. Apparently. (It was like that when I moved in; my roommates already lived there at the time.) I didn't get a picture of it, but the floor around the big clawfoot tub was also super hosed-up. At the time I just prayed that when the tub inevitably falls through the floor someday, it'd be after I moved out. I would've loved to take a bath in that thing, but that seemed too risky.   Behold! A beautiful pipe. My landlord only bought the place a few months before I moved in, and he kept the tenants who were there at the time of sale. If he doesn't eventually make everyone move out so he can completely redo the bathroom, the moisture damage is only going to get worse, since there's no bathroom fan... and installing one now seems like it'd be pointless on its own. I'm so glad I live in a nicer place now.

I can't help but notice no one has mentioned the most important element of a women focused bathroom: A large section of shower wall, about shoulder height, for storing loose hair.

A proper drunk bathroom would be two toilets. Barfing in the sink is a terrible idea. It would actually almost be better to poo poo in the sink and puke in the toilet. Edit: I suppose if you are a really high-level drunk your puke is just a liquid anyway, so you may be right

Well most drunk-shits are mostly liquid, while vomit generally has chunks of undigested food which is difficult to get down the sink drain. So I guess which method of vomitorium setup works depends on your level of alcoholism.
