| Since I never specifically took pics of our bathroom you'll get to take a little walk down memory lane...here you can see the wooden walls and the tri-fold vanity. |
 |
| The hideous laminate counter-top which would actually get stained with blue toothpaste that the kids left on it. |
 |
| Vinyl flooring that "looks" like tile. Yeah you aren't fooling anyone! |
 |
| Plastic tub with matching plastic walls. Oh I bet you're jealous now! |
 |
| You can't see it but the bathtub floor was permanently stained or discolored or something. It always looked dirty even after cleaning it. |
 |
| We originally thought we'd gut the bathroom down to the walls but we decided to see what it would look like if we just painted. It didn't look too bad so we went with it! It saved us a TON of work too! I must add, we bought a paint sprayer for this project and it's amazing, painting is soooo much faster now. It's totally worth it if you are a do-it-your-selfer like us! All those years painting by hand, ugh! |
 |
| Layers upon layers of vinyl flooring! 4 layers to be exact, why why why why?! Why would you do that!? And do you know that you can't throw this away in the regular trash. You have to haul it to a special place where they test it for hazardous chemicals. Then if it's contaminated you have to pay extra to get rid of it (insert red angry face)! |
 |
| Ta da! Our house if over 115 years old and has a craftsman/cottage look, so we tried to have the bathroom match that style. We picked a traditional octagonal floor tile. We also painted the ceiling gray to balance out the white walls. |
 |
| Phil built this mirror from salvaged old barn wood, I really love it and think it adds character and color. |
 |
| A salvaged wood shelf with one of Phil's paintings and some antiques we've collected over the years. |
 |
| Classic white subway tile with dark grout because who wants to worry about stained grout! I also really wanted a shower head with a handle because the infrequent times that I actually do scrub the walls I'm always like "how do I rinse this now?!" I would always end up splashing water at it with a cup and getting the floor and myself soaked, ha! |
 |
| Shower nook! As Phil will attest, this was one of the most challenging parts of this remodel. But he just had to have his challenge, haha! |
 |
| Everyone always loves the boys matching robes : ) |
 |
| Matching school house lights (Very affordable from Wayfair, we shopped around). |
 |
| Solid wood vanity with quartz countertop and undermount sink. We got it from a place we recently discovered. I was very impressed by the quality and price (compared to what HD or Lowes offered). Check out Wayfair if you are needing lighting or a vanity soon. I still need to decorate the window sill with something, looks too empty right? |
 |
| Last week mama Elda came to visit! The boys were so excited for her arrival : ) |
 |
| E & T with mama E |
 |
| P & C |
 |
| Farewell Ikea breakfast (it's conveniently right next to the airport), it went too fast! |
