My husband and I would like to demolish our only bathroom and replace everything, do you think we can do a majority of it in a couple of weekends? My husband has little faith or is it just plain lazy. I Wanna tear down ugly wall tile and replace with half drywall and half new wall tile, put in a smaller whirlpool tub and replace wall tile around tub, rip up the tile floor and replace with some ceramic. Eventually, get a new toilet and vanity and cabinet. HGTV has me pumped up! I think we can do it without hiring contractors.

My fiance and I decided that we are going to remodel the master bathroom (since I am pregnant, and we need to)… We are going to completely demo the old one.. tear down all tile, tear up all the floor, and re-work how the shower is.. and turn the existing shower into a walk-in closet (that has two doors, and the second door would lead straight to the baby’s room) and the area where the whirlpool tub is will become the shower area… We’re also going to have drywall hung, and a slew of other things happen, but we aren’t exactly sure what we want the end product to look like.. we want it to be functional (obviously) but we also want it to look pleasing to the eye..
Does anyone know names of bathroom remodeling magazines, websites, or books?? Any help would be much appreciated! We need to get this bathroom rolling already.. we have until September to finish! =)
Thank you all!
PS: I will NOT be participating in any of the demo, or re-build part of this project.. we decided to hire.
