For the past few months, I've had some angst about a home improvement project. At one point I thought we were assholes.
This is where I showed you how our main bathroom in our 1952-built-home was all tore up from the floor up.
Wonder of wonders, our little bathroom now feels twice its size and is the home to the shower of my dreams. [It's not like I aim high, you know.] I no longer bump into doors when I walk into the room. That's a bonus.
Before:
It's hard to show off apples-to-apples comparisons because everything moved around except the toilet. Where the vanity was is now a cabinet. Where the bathtub was is now a vanity. Where there was wainscoting there is none. And where a weird closet was is now a shower.
The sink, after:
Note on the left there is a Missoni by Target hand towel.
My old bathtub and damaged walls were replaced by a shower.
I don't know if you can see just how dreamy this shower is. My favorite things are the shower floor, and yes, a fold-out teak seat...
...because a girl needs a leg up to shave. And the seat is also, as 7-year-old Bertie says, "It's for when you get old!"
I hate decorating. My mother came over today to see the room and said, "You need to decorate it!" Yeah, yeah. I bought all the standard accessories during trips to freaking 12 stores, and I can't find shit I want to hang on the walls. La, la, la, whatever.
Thanks for going on my tour with me.
Oooh, I love it! The tile is gorgeous and the fold-out bench is awesome! What a stunning transformation! Good for you!
If you want to go shopping for bathroom "art", I'll go with you!

Ooo la la! Very nice, can't wait to see it in person. Bathroom art is hard IMO. Lots of dorky stuff at those bath stores. Hmmm, maybe Target will have something fun?

Thanks, girls. I still have to buy the window shade, then scrounge up some suitable wall decor.
I don't want anything like a sign that says "Bathe!" you know what I mean.
It IS hard to find. I even went to Hobby Lobby as one of the gajillion places. To Marshall's again today.

Good and impressive transformation of the bath room. Glad to see the changes made which is really adorable. I am also thinking of the remodeling of my bathroom. Done it as soon as possible. Thanks for this share..
