The next morning we slept in until nine, NINE O'CLOCK AM! That never happens either! We got a game plan together hit the Starbucks, hit the Lowes and then we started demo on our master bathroom. It was glorious! Here are some hideous befores...
Brien doesn't find tearing things apart nearly as fun as I do!
There was something very therapeutic about smashing 1980's tiles with a hammer and ripping out skanky, old, moldy shower doors! It was delightful. I told Brien that a career change might be in order. As in, I want to quit teaching and start tearing down ugly things! But apparently there is a lot more to demolition than just destroying things. Back to the drawing board.
We have decided that we are going to put in a tub, cause there is room and why not?! This made things a titch more tricky as we have to reroute some plumbing and there was some rust and water damage to the subfloor around the toilet. THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER, EVER PUT CARPET IN THE BATHROOM, EVER!!! So it was a little more difficult. Thanks moron previous owners...
So now we have everything out and are ready to start making things pretty! My favorite part!
Down to the studs!
I have some great ideas for freshening up the joint, oh pinterest! This is what I want to see happen...
