The Bathroom

Okay, last but not least, an update on the bathroom. It has been almost finished for a matter of months now. We have been waiting on my dad to custom build the linen closet and the vanity. But it seems as though he has been so flooded with work, that we just aren't a priority right now. That being said, I just know so many of you have been lying awake in bed at night anticipating the photos of the before and after bathroom project. Well I will make you wait no longer. Just keep in mind that what you see is not truly the finished project. There is still a window to trim out, and some trim around the bathroom tiles to install. But for the most part you'll get the gist of what it looks like.
Let me also add how proud I am of my man! He is so wonderful and not afraid to tackle new projects and learn new trade skills. And he did an amazing job! All design skills....... well those were mine! Fashioned after Pottery Barn of course! *smile*

FROM THIS........


TO THIS.......


The first set of picts shows the view from the door. Then the view of the south wall where the sink is.
We actually tore everything out, down to the floor joists, and built new walls. We stole about 18 inches of the girls closet space and added to the bathroom. It made such a huge difference.
Anyway, in the bottom pics, the first one is the view from the doorway, where the tub used to be. The second is the view of the north wall. It used to be just wall space, with the toilet in the corner on the east wall. Obviously we still need to trim out the tiles. The last one is the south wall. This is the one where we added more space. The linen closet just got installed this weekend and now we are waiting for the doors for it. The mirror you see is temporary, as we are still waiting for the vanity from dad. It will be white to match the rest.
So there you have it, the new bathroom! And just in case you were wondering, yes, the soaker tub is WONDERFUL!!!!!! Jealous?
