Adding a walk-in shower to my 1917 Craftsman
The walk-in closet adjacent to our bathroom will soon be a shower with two exposed pipe shower units, white subway tile and white penny-round tile for the floor. A window will be added on the exterior wall as well as in floor heat.

Looks great and much more spacious than my current project. I am in the middle of putting in a 3rd floor bathroom (from scratch, in a storage area with no plumbing or services of any kind), and your slanty walls look similar to my project. I need every inch of height in some places, so I had to insulate very close to the roof on the slant. My father-in-law is the mastermind behind it, and he used solid foam against that part of the roof shimmed by strips of the the same foam to create an air flow between the foam and the slate roof planking. Inside that foam a sandwich of a thin layer of fiberglass insulation then another inch of the solid foam with plywood and beadboard to finish the space. My bath/shower we are putting on the flat ceiling part of the room, and that will have stone walls (chalkboard slate salvaged from a local WWI era high school). By the way, we salvaged the t&g wood for use in repairs to wood floors elsewhere. Are you doing that with your beautiful wood floor?

The fir floor has been pulled, de-nailed and is stacked in my shop ready to patch other areas of my home. Its beautiful stuff.

Randall: Nice. By the way, are the bathroom mirror light vintage or new? It looks like they have cylinder shaped, milk glass shades? I have a set of lights similar to that with broken shades, so I am looking for a source to get new shades. And that is harder than I thought it would be.

larger diameter florescent tubes Customer found the fixture. Installed after final inspection.
I milled all the base and upper wainscot trim on site. All trim was dadoed to lock the bead board in place.
