Before (realtor photo)

Our bathroom is almost done!  Here it is before we bought the house (previous tenants belongings).  We kept the medicine cabinet, the floors (love those!), the vent (not pictured) and tub but scrapped everything else without regret… bye bye pink tile.

Gutted

We had new plumbing and new electric put in throughout the house which was great!  I love the idea of knowing everything inside the walls is in great shape and worry-free!

Left: durock installed; Right: v-groove paneling

The vapor barrier and durock went up next, along with the same v-groove paneling we installed in the kitchen (just along one wall).  I love, love, love it… but I have to say I’m a little worried about it with the moisture from the shower.  So far so good but it’s always in the back of my mind.

Paneling and baseboard installed

The floors and vent are my favorite part of the bathroom… why can’t they still make vents like these nowadays?

Tile going in

Above are photos of the mammoth tiling project.  I think we probably could have done this with less expensive tile but at the time we got caught up in having to make a decision quickly and chose this tile over spending a weekend hunting for a cheaper version.

More tile...

More tile.

Black grout going in

Above is uncle Joe who we owe our second unborn child should we decide to have more kids.  He helped us night after night after night on this!  Thanks Joe!

Narrowest sink we could find, installed

And here’s the bathroom looking in from the hall.  It’s the only bathroom in the house so far so we had to get the majority of it done prior to moving in.  We’ve been in now for seven months and it’s almost done.  Almost!
