New Member, and a bathroom redo

[FlobeySolo]

Just a quick thanks, a hello, and since everyone loves pics, my bathroom...

I've been lurking for some time now, and yearning for Festool, oh, anything for quite a while now. I'm a DIY'er; we have a home built in 1993 that we've been working hard to update and put our own stamp on it. The wife and I both have careers, plus 3 young boys under 9, so progress is only sporadic and on the weekends. I've got a decent DIY's basement workshop with your usual complement of tools (Delta Unisaw, dust collection, Makita LiIon + Bosch drills, PC routers & table, PC miter saw, etc. However this weekend my wife gave me the green light for an early Christmas present....so I went big and purchased a DF-500 plus the Tenon Assortment. Needless to say I'm fired up!

I've learned a tremendous amount already, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the projects I'm seeing - I really appreciate the skill I've seen - believe me I know first hand! Thanks for sharing them.

Regardless, here's our bathroom redo. Hopefully I won't get banned on my first post because I didn't own any Festool at the time, which would have made several steps considerably more efficient....promise I'll be back with Festool-generated projects ASAP...

I outsourced the tiling, plus the shower. I did demo, built and installed the cabinets, plumbing, and all lighting. Cabinets are prefinished maple with dados and pocketholes, with solid oak fronts all stained espresso with a pre-cat gloss lacquer. They look black in the pics but reveal more grain detail in person.

Welcome Colby!  Nice work on the bathroom remodel!

What project do you have on tap for the Domino now?

Thanks, guys. First project with the Domino will likely be a mudroom built-in bench and cabinet area made with prefinished ply and either stained oak (similar to the bathroom) or walnut frame / panel ends and face frames.

Fantastic job.  I'm just preparing for a similar effort only I'm going to take on the tiling as well.

Could I ask where you got the lighting and mirrors?  And is the light on the wall and behind the mirrors the only lighting or are their ceiling lights as well.

Thanks in advance and again, great job.

Thanks! I installed 3 4" recessed halogens, 2 over the sinks and one in the shower. The mirrors have LED strips I made from some LED tape I found on Amazon, and their is a ceiling fan with lights as well.

The mirrors are from Restoration Hardware, and the lighting was purchased here :
