Bathroom!!!

So we are almost done!

I wish I had pictures of the bathroom before we started anything...but like most of our projects, as soon as Nick decides to do something, he's already tearing down walls before I can get in there for a picture.

But picture our old bathroom. A typical "city" bathroom. It had the peach tile that was painted white. So it was chipping everywhere. Everything was that tile. The walls, the window sill, the shower walls, everything. The floor was basic white tile. The shower was painted white tile and chipping as bad as the other parts of the walls. The tub was disgusting. The sink was a tiny pedestal sink. I hated it. I absolutely hated it. It was gross and the paint on the tile was peeling and showing the ugly color underneath EVERYWHERE. The tub was so gross (our fault because we only used it to clean paint brushes, etc.) that I wouldn't dare shower in there, or subject anyone else to showering in there. And we found out the bathroom vent didn't vent anywhere...it pulled the air from the bathroom and vented into the walls. So randomly different areas of our house would smell and we didn't know why...Now we knew. So it needed to go.

So here's our transformation. I have to say, I LOVE OUR NEW BATHROOM. We used to avoid the main floor bathroom. Like we'd make the trip to go upstairs or downstairs to go. Not anymore. I've even caught myself going upstairs from the basement to use the main floor.

Where the shower goes

The ceiling

The window

Where the toilet and sink go

The window and sink/toilet area, with drywall!

The floor

The ceiling, with a new access panel to get to our jetted tub
upstairs in case we ever have a problem

The shower area, with our new tub

Our new vanity, toilet and floor!

(And our cat)

The marble casing around the shower (love it!)

Our ceiling (complete with LED can lights, our access panel and a vent
that ACTUALLY VENTS OUTSIDE

Our new vanity (and you can see some of our floor tile here, that
Nick laid himself!)

Our new "super" toilet. This thing has a "power flush" and can
flush a whole bucket of golf balls in one flush...don't try it though.

So if you can't tell....I LOVE OUR NEW BATHROOM!!! It's still not 100% done. We already bought the new window, it's just not in yet, so that window will be replaced. We also haven't even touched the bathroom closet. So we have to finish that.

But it's functional!! And we love it!! Now I just need to find a shower curtain I like...
