This our remodeled homes & projects walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
In Asheville North Carolina we had a really small house barely 1,000 square feet and no modest-cost to speak of. So, when Justin’s office all but shut down and laid off over 20 people we had to find a job, and fast… which also meant that we had a ton of remodeling to do in about a month. This project was one of them, our tine master bath it was about 5 feet wide by 8 ft long. It seemed even smaller with the tiny 1 sink cabinet and large storage closet, so we had to do a bit of deconstruction, and I love how it turned out.
Like I said we had almost no modest-cost and a few things got left out of the remodel, but it is still lovely.
Here are the before images:
First long before we actually began the remodel, we removed the base cabinet under the sink. We reused it in the kitchen. (Just rebuilt the whole body and just used the face frame and doors, don’t worry we cleaned it really well and painted it!). This is a picture of him removing it and installing it in the kitchen, here is a link to the full kitchen remodel story. Here is the room in the midst of cleaning it out completely (besides the shower, which I would have like to tile, but we didn’t get the chance) Notice the large mirror. We got this on Asheville freecycle! I love freecycle did the tiling. It was a hot day, so I set up a little oasis for cutting the tile. I think it is pretty funny! I decided to do a brick pattern which I think is much more interesting than just regular tile. It wasn’t any harder either, and it made the floor look a little more custom. The most exciting part about the tile was that I found it on clearance at the Home Depot for $1.65 a BOX!!! (11 sq feet each box!) The bathroom cost us about 5.00 total for the tile!Justin built our new cabinet base. I LOVE it! I wanted t to be open and tall, and he filled my requests perfectly. We actually were able to use all recycled wood. Our church was being remodeled and the old window casings were removed and we asked the man in charge, and he let us take them. Free!!! Doesn’t that just sound striking.
I patched sanded and painted the whole table. Then we bought a double sink top it was just a plain white one from home depot for about 200.00? I think…
Here is the room painted a light tan, and the ceiling is a robin egg blue. The base moldings were just installed and we still have the crown and the fixtures to install. Okay one quick reminder of the before: Final:If I had more time I would have framed in the mirror at least.
So, What do you think?
