This workshop walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.

Seeing as how our house was built in the 70’s, we have 2 of the ugliest bathrooms EVER! No joke, they make me want to barf. I’m going to apologize in advance, I don’t have very good before pictures. This remodel was not planned and took over a year, working on it all bit by bit. The bulk of it was actually done before I even started this blog. I never blogged about it because we never replaced the floor…it was hideous. I finally convinced Mr well fitted over Christmas to put a new floor in. I love it now!
So here’s what we started with…
This picture was actually taken when we were doing our final walk through before signing on the house in 2009. It seems to be the ONLY before picture I have Sad story. As you can kinda see, there are ugly, nasty shower doors {I hate those things}…a marble countertop complete with flecks of gold, and a sink to match…dark ugly dated vanity…gray-ish, blue-ish, white-ish walls…and lets not look passed all that lovely yellow/camel colored tile. It pretty much covers the whole bathroom.
And here is a cell phone picture of the new tile we put down for the floor…but you can see the striking linoleum we had before. Gag
So here’s the deal…we aren’t made of money so gutting the bathroom and starting over was not an option. We had to work with what we’ve got. The yellow tile had to stay. But it’s ok…I went with the yellow/gray color scheme! The vanity also had to stay, and the countertop. But that’s ok too…paint is my best friend. And thank goodness there are countertop paints out there now!
Ok, so I know you are dying to see it…
if the colors vary, blame it on the fact that there’s no natural light in a bathroom
I don’t usually put my shower curtain up so high, but the kiddo broke the tension on the rod…it won’t stay up now unless it’s above those tiles…and let’s face it, that’s an expensive rod and I’m too low-cost to buy another one. Thanks kid
Ignore the lower right corner where a couple tiles are missing…they popped off when the floor was installed and Mr well fitted hasn’t glued them back on yet.
To see my project involving that little shelf and the vases, go here
I pretty much love it! I did all the painting and Mr well fitted tiled the floor….not too shabby for his first time!
