How the guest bathroom fit the Seattle project
The goal
The house had two dated bathrooms. The guest bath had tan wall tile to the wainscot line, a white penny tile floor, a tub with a curtain and a pedestal sink. The plan was to bring it up to date in the same project as the primary bath, so both rooms would be opened and closed once.
The challenge
The guest bath is narrow, with the tub across the end wall under the window. Toilets were moving in the project, and the drain slope under the floors did not work for the new positions, so the subfloors in the bathrooms had to be reframed before any tile.
The solution
After demolition in March 2022 the subfloors were reframed under a change order to give the relocated toilets the right drain slope, and new plumbing and wiring went in under electrical and plumbing permits. In the guest bath the tan tile came off, the tub wall was opened, and a new tub was set under the window. A patterned tile floor was laid from the door to the tub.
The result
The guest bath moved from tan tile and a pedestal sink to a new tub and a patterned floor, built alongside the primary bath in the same project. The tile for the house was set by October 2022. We do not have a finished photo of this room, so the after photo here is the primary bathroom from the same project.

Questions about this project
Is it worth remodeling two bathrooms at the same time?
It can be. In this Seattle house both bathrooms needed the floor framing changed for relocated toilets, so the reframing, plumbing and permits were handled once for both rooms instead of twice.
Why is there no finished photo of this guest bathroom?
We have no photo of this room after the walls were finished. Rather than show a different room as this one, the after photo is labeled as the primary bath from the same project.
When did work on this guest bathroom happen?
The project was agreed in July 2021, and the first photos of this room were taken a few days later. Demolition for both bathrooms started in March 2022, the new tub was set by August 2022, and the tile for the house was finished that October.
