I'm reasonably handy, but there was no way I wanted to take on a project of this magnitude myself. We wanted to expand the shower (which would involve moving two walls and a bunch of plumbing and electrical) and replace basically every inch of the bathroom. So we hired one of those kitchen and bath places (in this case, Imagine Kitchen and Bath) to do the design, provide the materials, and hire the contractors. We started this process in February and got quotes and designs from 3 different design places. All of them were very similar in pricing, but one woman impressed us very much with the thought she put into her design and the fact that she had picked out a ton of materials and color swatches for us at our very first meeting. By the time we'd picked out all of our materials, met with the contractors, got everything ordered, etc., we didn't start demo until the week of June 11th. Here's some demo shots:
