The Bathroom is Done !!!

 

There it is,

when we moved in...

 

We instantly fell in love

 with the original look of this 1949 bathroom.

 

The green and black tile, the old fixtures,

 and the original box weave floor tile.

 

But as time wore on,

and we actually lived in this tiny bathroom,

some things became impossible to deal with.

 

Four adults sharing one shower

 will bring to light some important details.

 

The reason we decided to redo the bathroom,

was because there was no exhaust fan,

which caused the bathroom to steam up

 so bad that water dripped down the walls,

and mold started to grow everywhere. 

 

Trying to keep it clean was simply impossible,

and the grout in the shower was disintegrating.

 

Putting an exhaust fan in a two story house

 meant gutting the ceiling,

and gutting the ceiling turned into,

 Why not ?

 

Why not gut everything,

and make it all nice? 

 

Forty days...

and two thousand dollars,

(Terry working overtime)

and we have a brand new beautiful bathroom.

 

 

Bigger, better shower,

 so clean...

 

Terry couldn't help himself.

He got the first shower...

 

I sat on the toilet,

 and bugged him the whole time.

 

This project was probably the hardest yet,

but we are so thrilled with

the end result.

 

I will get in that shower tomorrow morning.
