Exciting news...we have begun renovations on our upstairs bathrooms, beginning the the main/hall bath. It has the largest shower and vanity, so is first up.
Here is a before" shot.
I absolutely hated the ceramic tile and the dark brown paint on the cabinet. The walls had areas that need repair, too. This bathroom has taken a beating over the years, but from this ugly duckling a beautiful swan will emerge.
And here is everything on the curb!
Yes, it is not pretty, but has been functional, so was the last item on the reno list. We have done the demo down to the floor and have begun to install the new. We are doing this work ourselves, except for the shower install. That, we are leaving to professionals. They will remove the old tub/shower and install a new shower only, no tub.
So, here is our plan in phases:
Phase 1: Demo to the floor. COMPLETED!
Phase 2: Wall repair, painting, electrical. COMPLETED!
Phase 3: Flooring. Remove old tile flooring, replace with vinyl planking.
COMPLETED!
The floor was the most labor intensive part of this entire job. Denis had to break the tile with a hammer, then remove a layer of grout, mesh, grout and the original vinyl flooring to get to the plywood subfloor.
Phase 4: Install new vanity, countertop and fixtures, mirror.
Phase 5: Replace shower.
Color scheme: soft browns/neutrals. Walls are Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (same as rest of house); toilet, sink, shower in an Almond, fixtures in Oil Rubbed Bronze, vanity, and wood trim in Honey Oak. Towels and accessories in Tans/browns, bronze.
I'll send "after" photos when done!
Till then...
