The small size of the this basement bathroom necessitated a creative
layout. I decided to make a corner sink to help the flow. I looked
into re-building the shower so that it would open opposite the door,
but there was a little too much plumbing in the wall for it to be
feasible.
The rounded front concrete counter with a drop-in sink has a five
sided door to match.
Inside are some rebar, especially around the sink
where the widths are small.
In this case, regular concrete was augmented with some lime and
white portland. Much trowelling was done to ensure a smooth top, which
is not sealed. With any concrete project, the real key is moisture during
the curing process, which should last about a week. Technically, concrete
continues to cure for many years if kept moist. A plastic covering and
a spray bottle are all you need.
The cabinet is made of inexpensive pine and will be sealed with a
polyurathane.
