GUEST BATH REMODEL - In the beginning...

Guest Bathroom Remodel:  In the beginning...

We've lived in our home for over 11 years and have done a good bit of sprucing up.  We've painted, wallpapered, tiled the screen porch, re-screened the screen porch, removed popcorn ceilings and made them smooth, I could go on and on and on.  Unfortunately, the to-do list still goes on and on too!  You see, our house was built in 1973 and many things are in need of attention.  Actually, some rooms are in need of a major remodel!

We originally planned on remodelling our master bath.

It is really small, actually it is tiny!  So, we decided to combine my large walk-in closet with our tiny bathroom which would increase the size from tiny 8' x 5' to a much larger 8' x 14'.  This project would be a total gut job and to get things going we had to enlarge an existing closet located on the other side of our bedroom which you can read here, Master Closet Remodel.  Once this was complete I thought the master bath was next.  Uh...that would be a big, ginormous, negative!  Ain't gonna happen!  We hit a wall!

Actually, I hit a wall!

For almost 2 years I scoured magazines for inspirational pictures and found plenty.  I drew up plans, tore up plans, re-drew plans and threw them away...Ok, you catch my drift.  I could not decide! This total gut job was such a huge undertaking that I just never felt comfortable moving forward.  Urgh!!!!

So, my sweet hubby, who didn't think my poor head could take any more contact with the brick wall I kept hitting, had the GREAT idea to take on a smaller project for our first remodel.  He is so smart and I am happy to say that my poor head fared much better as our attention turned to the upstairs guest bath!

  

Below I will share our old ugly bath, but first lets take a peek at some dreamy bathrooms...

Brace yourself ... we are leaving the lovely to look at the UGLY!

Here is the before:

Our faux marble vanity

Fancy lighting...ha!

So, tell me...is the tile yellow or orange?

Or orangish-yellow?

 Depends on the time of day and how the light hits it...

Whatever the color, I was so glad when the sledge hammer hit it!!!

 And that is next...

Here you'll find all the REMODELS!
