Bathroom Specs

There's been one thing I've been wanting to do since we moved into our condo unit last year - renovate the masterbedroom bathroom. I think it should be the first thing that one should do after buying a resale property.

Our unit is ten years old and although the bathroom is still relatively ok, you can already see that it needs some upgrading. Since we didn't have budget yet for renovations when we moved in, I was thinking of at least just even replacing the toilet bowl seat but apparently our toilet bowl shape is not the usual and we are having a hard time finding a toilet seat match! Anyways, now I am really obsessing on getting a total bathroom overhaul and I've been bugging hubby more and more about it and we've started to save up for this.

So before I lose the little post-it where I listed down my bathroom specifications, let me write them down here:
  • Place to conveniently hang 2 towels
  • His and hers sinks
  • Sliding mirror cabinet
  • First aid kit storage
  • Cleaning materials
  • Detached bathtub (currently, what we have is cemented on the floor)
  • A sitting area (to conveniently wash/put on lotion on legs)
  • Shampoo and soap holder that would not take a lot of space and would not rust
  • Bidet
  • White light and dim lights
  • Rainshower style shower plus option for the movable shower
  • A place for the clothes hamper
  • Magnifying mirror
  • No wooden and steel materials as much as possible

All of these would be a challenge given that our bathroom is quite small but anything is possible with very good interior design.

Now I need to start looking for materials and good contractors to get an idea how much this would cost.
