Bathroom Transformation

The owner of this old house in Fitler Square was a very old woman who was tired of her bathroom falling apart.  She had the tile redone a few years ago, then the wallpaper in the bathroom started to peel off.  This is what it looked like when we arrived.




It had simply been too long since anything was done.  The paper was falling off the ceiling and the walls.  There was no ventilation in the bathroom, and everything was crumbling.  The plaster wall in the shower was also crumbling.  

After stripping the wallpaper, replacing some plaster with moisture resistant drywall, skim coating the rest of the ceiling & walls, and painting the entire thing, it looked wonderful.  The room was really transformed into something nice.



The homeowner was more than delighted.  She even sent me a letter stating that she had trouble believing it was her own house.
