Art Deco — Shower, Plumbing, Tile

Episode DBTR-102

John and Mary are a busy, working couple with two boys. They have a charming home with lots of period touches, but their bathroom is a major disaster zone. In this four-episode makeover host Amy Matthews helps them transform their tacky, gross, falling apart '70s bathroom into a beautiful art deco bathroom that reflects the age of their vintage urban home. In this second of four episodes, the backerboards and plumbing are removed and the shower is re-plumbed. Then we start setting the shower wall tiles.
