Thank you for a detailed walk through your reno! This is exactly what we are planning for our guest washroom, especially when grandparents are visiting. I bet the grab bars make it AODA compliant, something we all have to be cognizant of going forward😉 I like the choice of the fixtures and tiles too! It does give it a cozy hotel feel! 👌
Hey Saleha! I am glad you enjoyed the renovation video and that it is giving you ideas for what you're planning to do for your guest washroom! I wonder if you're going to try and get some of the same things for your renovation or something different! I'd love to see the finished product once completed! My dad loves the grab bars as it makes him feel safe, even when cleaning his feet etc he can hold the grab bar and stay balanced! So for sure it comes in handy. It's funny that we literally have 4 grab bars in there, even the towel holder is a grab bar. But that works out great too incase someone needs support to sit down on the toilet they can use that as a support to grab and help them sit down. We don't need to do that but for mom that would have been helpful and for any other seniors it might come in handy! Glad you enjoyed the material choices and fixtures, dad and I picked them together to come up with the final product! It feels good to get to use a hotel quality bathroom regularly. Makes the hard work worth it! Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment! :)
Appreciate the love! Congrats on being the first to comment! Woo Hoo! It took some work to get it all organized and completed but we're enjoying the finished product! Finally got to talk about construction on my channel and it was fun to do! Glad you like the completed look!
Browsing your channel is like going back to school again! Let me benefit for life! Your channel is great! We have learned a lot from you! thank you for your sharing! wish you happy everyday
Wow, what a wonderful comment! The main goal of having this channel is for life long learning so I am very happy to hear that you've learned a lot watching this channel. I will do my best to continue to bring more and more useful and educational videos so you have more videos to learn from! Life is a constant learning session for all of us! :)
You are a king of details indeed! I wonder how you remembered clicking pictures of all the accessories you bought plus do most of the renovation by yourselves. The precise information with pros & cons leaves no doubts for the viewers & will be so helpful for people looking to invest in a renovation. Great job done Kaygee not just with the renovation but the organisation in saving all the information of your work.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Kranti, so nice to read your comment. I surely tried to document and capture the details of the project and share it in this video so hopefully others find it useful and helpful for whatever they are planning to do. We did not do this by ourselves, the bathroom was done by others, we just picked the materials and finishes etc. I am not a plumber or a tile guy or any of those things lol. Remember this was started while we were still caring for mom. As you can see it would have made it very easy and comfortable for mom to get in and out and also for the PSWs to do their work too. Hence why there is no glass and only shower curtain. Much easier to manouver like that and safer too. This shower is senior ready from day one. Pops enjoys using it and so do I! :) Much Love as always! :)
Thanks for the feedback Imran! Your comment made it worth the effort to put everything together in that manner. I wanted the photos to flow with the video and what I was saying so you can get a visual of the process as well as the accessories too! Glad you like the finished product, come check it out anytime brother! :)
Hi Kay! waw! what a nice renovation! very good review with great detail. Now the look of the bathroom is very nice and pretty. The shower gives it a sophisticated touch and you can see a larger bathroom. The color of the shower tray, wall panels and sink is very successful from my point of view, since light colors will never go out of style! I love the style of the shower tray with a honeycomb pattern. I have never seen an artichoke with a magnet, it seems very practical! And I hadn't seen a low faucet like the one they have in the shower, either. The niche to place the shampoos integrated into the wall, is very practical, thus avoiding having to put shelves by making holes and that with the passage of time they get ugly. Placing all those bars for the safety of the elderly and convalescent is very important, sometime in life we will need it. Dear kay, congratulations once again for your video and channel. I hope you enjoy your new stay in good health for a long time! see you in your next video! see you soon.
Thanks for the detailed comment! The washroom looks larger but its the same size washroom. Without a tub it does seem bigger! Glad you like the colours and material choices. Pops and I chose them ourselves! The hexagonal tiles are also good to prevent slipping! The shower head with magnet is very convenient and the low faucet is there just like it was when we had a tub. It can be used to fill mob bucket, or a bucket if you just want to take a bath instead of a shower or sometimes if you just want to wash your feet. It is useful to have both! The niche is something I wanted for a long time. I always see it in other peoples homes and I love it! And as you can see it works out perfectly for out bathroom also! The grab bars were for mom but now dad loves them too because he feels safe in the shower with them. Especially if he cleans his feet he can hold the bar with one hand and clean with the other hand. Much love and blessing to you and your family! See you again next time! :)
Thanks, I am glad you like the finished bathroom! It took a lot of organizing and coordination but now that it is finished, we enjoy using it everyday! Happy New Year and much love and blessings!
Thanks for watching! Glad you like the conversion over to the new and modern shower! We enjoy using it all the time now. It's really nice and fun to use! :)
Thanks! We really put thought into all the elements of the shower renovation. We enjoy using it now that all the work is completed! Much Love as always! :)
Thanks, we did our best for a professional looking finished bathroom! It surely does look fresh and clean and we are enjoying using it now! Glad you like the finished product! I also liked those shower curtain rings, as soon as I saw it in the store I wanted to get it! Pops chose the lighting fixture and they have a nice frosted glass that covers the light. I chose the tissue holder and shower niche! The shower niche is something I wanted to have for a long time. I always see in other peoples house so I was very happy when we got it and it works so great too for holding the soap and shampoo! Much Love and Happy New Year to you! :)
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed the renovation, now that it is complete Pops and I enjoy using it regularly! It feels like we are using a hotel style bathroom each and every day! It's pretty awesome!
Thanks so much! We tried to make this renovated bathroom modern and clean looking so I am glad you agree with our efforts and see that for yourself! Taking showers in here is always a pleasant experience as well! :)
Thanks so much! I tried to give all the details so it will be helpful to others who might want to do a similar renovation! Glad you enjoyed the video! Sending you lots of love and blessings! :)
Hey Happy New Year! Glad to see y'all here and enjoying the renovation video! Appreciate that you enjoyed the washroom upgrade and give your approval! Much Love as always! :D
Appreciate it Mark! Makes me feel good when you say it was a beautiful illustration of the process because I wanted to make a video with visuals that go with the explanation so you can get a feel for what went into making the finished product what it is! Much love my friend! :)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed watching the renovation work. We are very happy with the finished product and enjoy using the upgraded bathroom daily! :)
Great sharing ,,! Yes it is living in condo a lot of adjustment and a lot of don’t and do’s .! Specially in water leakage problem.. great improvement too! From Kuwait Janice 💖
Thanks for watching! Yes in a condo you have to be very careful as you don't want any water leakage problems! This is why it is important to hire professional people who are experts in these types of things! You want to do the work just once and do it right so then it lasts for many years without any problems! Much love from Toronto Canada! :)
Tried my best to give detailed explanation and lots of photos so you can follow along and see how we arrived at this nice looking finished bathroom! :)
great video Kaygee! you know in Lebanon, in my parent's house we did approximately the same things a few years ago where my dad wanted to change to shower completely to a more comfortable design , it took work but it is much better now. I love the marble and white colors, it gives a good feeling and feels like light is overflowing inside which for a bathroom, i think it's essential. Great work done! Not sure I would get a pillow and sleep there however , hahah but amazing work!
Thanks Said! That's pretty awesome that you also did a similar style renovation for your dad and for sure having a step in shower makes it a lot easier and more convenient. Also safe too. Indeed it does take some work but worth it for the end result! Thanks, we picked light colours for the bathroom and put a 5 light fixture to make sure it lights up well. We also used 5000K white light which makes the bathroom really bright! It might be hard to tell but even our quartz vanity top is a very light colour but because we're using white everywhere else that colour actually pops out and looks kind of dark comparted to everything else. But if you put that against a darker colour it would look very light! Lol, I don't know how long I could sleep in there my self but I just enjoy admiring the finished product! :D LOL! Sometimes I am a bit silly!
Wow, thanks for the wonderful comment! Will do my best to keep the creative content coming! I have a kitchen renovation video in the works so that will be out shortly! So stay tuned for more! Much Love! :)
Vow . It really looks like a hotel washroom. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 More precautions should be considered as it a condo. You did a great job Karim and I’m pretty sure you feel it. You feel satisfied of what you’ve done. It took a lot of time but it was worth it. Can you give us a ballpark of the cost please?
I just had the same question. a similar job in Spain is around € 1500-2000 with everything included ... materials, labor, rubble ... (without accessories).
Lol, thanks Farzad! I get to use a Hotel washroom everyday now! :D It is a lot of fun I tell ya! Yes we have to be very careful in condo and make sure you seal off any chance of water leaking below, especially when making a shower right on the ground like we did. Sometimes people buy those ready made shower pans and that is another way to do it but it would never end up looking as good as this one and you won't have those hexagonal floor tiles as the surface of the shower. The cost of a bathroom renovation can vary. I would say something like this is anywhere from 5k to 8k. We were on the higher end because of doing a full gut reno. So rip out old walls, tiles, tub etc, new wall installation, new plumbing for drains and water lines, tiling of all walls (most people will only do in shower area) then also selection of material was higher end tiles, vanity top, light fixture etc. Then you take into consideration cost of labour for tile installation for so much area, custom conversion of vanity with new top and doors, installation of accessible bars, toilet paper dispenser, curtain rod, painting, trims installation all that together would in our case bring it to the higher end cost. But remember this is Toronto with higher labour costs and during COVID everything costs a lot more and getting people is not easy, otherwise probably would be cheaper costs in another city. This washroom was supposed to be for mom and was a subsidized cost so we get reimbursed which is a blessing. Bottom line is the more items you do the more it will cost, and the less you do the less it will cost. All depends on what you can salvage and what needs to be replaced. We were able to make this a super customized finished product so we will and we are enjoying it each and every day! Cheers! :)
Amy, to be able to do all that for 2k euros is an excellent price! Our city is very expensive so those types of prices you couldn't get much done here. Unless of course you can do the labour yourself or can do it with the help of others! Interesting to see how prices can vary from place to place! :)
We are very happy to have a fully renovated bathroom. Dad and I enjoy it every day! Feels good and it is modern looking and clean looking! Glad you liked it too! Pops and I are doing well. Hopefully we will start making cooking videos again this year! Stay tuned and stay blessed! :)
Wow it looks great, Kaygee!! All your hard work paid off. I love the light fixtures and the funky blue door! The tiles you chose are so beautiful and bright. The step in shower is so practical for seniors and makes the room look so much bigger too. Thanks so much for showing us around. It was so interesting to see the changes and the transformation 😊
Thanks so much! Hopefully it gives y'all some ideas for your own renovations! The funky blue door lol! Speaking of the blue door and the frosted glass lights, I told my dad that I think the theme of our bathroom is Frozen! From the movie Frozen! It has that feel from the movie if you think about it, with the blue and white and bright look in there! Glad you liked the tiles and yes we went with light colours and lots of light so that unlike most bathrooms that aren't bright enough this one is beaming with brightness in all directions! Glad you enjoyed the transformation, we put in a lot of work and are very happy using it now! :)

For sure creating a walk in shower is well worth it in these cases. The sooner the better. Even if you have to take a loan to do it. It is better to get it done sooner so it can make life easier for your Grandma. I hope you are able to find a way to assist your Grandma and make her life easier! Much Love!
