Hello friends, how are things? Bathrooms have to be one of the most difficult rooms to renovate
especially when there is only one in the house. How about you have you ever
lived through a bathroom renovation? Well if you have I can relate to your
pain. Now I don’t mean to sound all negative in all but that’s the hard facts
when renovating a bathroom whereas there is no other place to take care of your
business if you know what I mean, it’s a pretty hard sale. Well I had the
pleasure of renovating this bathroom for a client and boy was I getting evil
looks like when are you going to get this job done, Can I take a bath in my own
tub please, geez finish already. Now
mind you if this client wasn’t my sister I wouldn’t tell you about all the evil
looks I was getting. Yes the hard facts friends is it’s not easy living through
a bathroom renovation heck its hard living through any renovation but a
bathroom or kitchen is like living through a warzone and all the evil looks you
get from a client is so understandable because you can’t help but to understand
their pain. Furthermore your job as a designer is to make your client feel at
ease or better-yet make them forget all about the warzone when the job is
complete, so without further ado check out this bathroom before and after
renovation I had the pleasure of doing.
Rules
Timeline 1 week before party
Fair budget

Not Pretty bathroom! OK I must say it didn't look like
this before we gutted the place but I failed to take a before we gutted the
place pic.

What you do you think? This is the after, different right!
|
 |
Are you checking out the molding on the wall! Pretty cool
right!!!
|

I love the shelf over the toilet because it really creates
the balance in this bathroom. There would be a lack of balance here had I not
put the shelf there. You see the toilet couldn't be moved over because it would
have been a lot of work so I put the shelf there to bring it all together.
Makes since right?

Can you imagine living through this?
|
 |
Here is the end result of that mess
|
 |
This is what you call a waterfall tile effect and what do
you think about the bigger tile with the circles in them?
|
 |
What do you think? Do you like waterfalls?
|
 |
This is the before of the floor. Not so nice right!
|
 |
I love the floors. I wish you can see this floor in
person the tile has diamonds in them and boy is it beautiful.
|
 |
Here is a close-up of the diamonds and this still does no
justice for this tile but nonetheless beautiful.

 |
The before of the window area.

OK I'm proud to say I made the roman shades myself and it
was a no sew project more on that soon in another post when I show you how to
do it too.
|
 |
Do you see the tieback on the shower curtain? I made that
too and I will show you how I did that in another post.
|
 |
I love that little table
|
 |
What do you think about the chair in the bathroom?
|
 |
I love the chair I also painted this chair it was an old
chair found at goodwill for not much.

Friends I hope you enjoyed the before and after of this
bathroom, it was a lot of hard work but as you can see in the end it was so
worth it. Now I had a few challenges along the way and I wasn't able to finish
this bathroom in 1 week like the rules were. I can tell you if anyone tell you this
can be done in a week without lots of manpower I will tell you it’s a lie
because it takes time and not to mention all the behind the walls encounter
that are unforeseen. Remember the timeline one week party I told you
about? Well within a week all the old tile in the bathtub was down the new
electrical was in, the sea green blue paint was all done also the new sink ,
toilet and the floors were all done in one week. Now all this was done in that
timeline but there were other things that needed attention like the Bathtub
tile, the batten walls and all the finishing work woo just glad it was all done
in a 2 week period not an easy task.
What do you think?
