06 Mar Master Bathroom Renovation Update
I wanted to share with you today an update on our Master Bathroom renovation. You can read more about where we started and what prompted the reno here.
Not a whole lot has changed from the inspiration board, but I am pondering tweaking one or two things.
As you can see, we have a subfloor now, and the walls have been made smooth. We are ready to paint hopefully soon.
We built this small platform so our barber shop sink will have something to sit on to give it a little more height. My husband had this idea, and I think it is so smart. (have I mentioned lately what a great design partner he is?) He wanted the sink to feel like part of the main bathroom, and I think this platform is just the unity these two spaces needed. The sink will be perpendicular to the main floor, so one will step down and turn to use the sink.
As happy as I am to see this room opened up (I seriously cannot believe how much lighter it feels), I am most excited about the shower transformation. It is fully tiled and grouted, and it looks fabulous.
I feel like we may need to mount one of these signs permanently in our front yard. : ) We have hit the three year renovation mark now on our house (hard to believe), and I feel like we may be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Our Master Bathroom is the last major construction project on our list for now, and after this is over, it will be more "fun" decorating projects and room makeovers, and less white dust permeating everything everywhere.
Our bathroom, just like every project (especially in a nearly 100 year old house), has had some hiccups. Uneven ceilings and floors, last minute changes, pipes bursting, first floor raining, etc etc etc...I did want to tell you about one little hiccup we had in the shower.
In the original setup of our bathroom, the shower was really teensy, and there was a small linen closet next to it. So the logical plan would be to expand the shower by taking out that closet, right?
There was just one problem...

I've been working on a little board to show all of you our plans for the Master Bathroom redo. (and in case you are wondering, it is still gutted, nothing is really happening yet, and we are still sharing the tiny bathroom : ) ) Everything is ordered, and now it is basically a waiting game and prayers that no other pipes will get jackhammered, and it won't rain on the first floor again.
Oy.
We actually don't need a ton of tile for this bathroom, as we are not going put tile on the walls like before. And in case you have forgotten, here it is before. (previous owner's photo)
