IT’S FINISHED!!
Can you hear me shouting from the rooftops?? I am so happy to announce that the bathroom is FINISHED! The bad news is that Mr.vB has the camera with him, so until he returns from his road trip I can’t take any photos to brag show you the finished product. Instead I am going to show you all the photos I took during the 3 month renovation- start to finish. There are a ton, so hope you don’t get bored. It’s an amazing transformation. I hope you will feel the same by the time of the big reveal. Here we go!
Pre-Renovation (seeing these photos again makes me realize how bad it really looked- I was in denial!)
Week One
All clean and ready for demo
Remember how we mentioned that we were worried that the original contractor had not properly sealed the floor of the shower? This is what our new contractor found when they ripped up the existing floor. Absolutely nothing. The original dude had tiled right on top of the old hard wood floor. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
Week Two
This time we are making sure we have the proper moisture barrier! The guys took down all the existing wall board and then hung this vinyl wrap between the new wall board and the studs. Then they were going to install a proper shower pan and liner. Plus a proper curb!
Week Three
Now let the tiling begin!
So while they tiled, we primed and finally framed in that window. We also contemplated some wall paper.
Week Four
Still tiling…
Week Five-Twelve
During this 2 month period Mr. vB and I painted, and painted and then painted some more! Those darn stripes were going to be the death of me. Every time I thought I had enough coverage so you couldn’t see them, they would seep through again. We also got the wall paper hung, the counter-top refinished, crown molding and shoe molding installed, new electrical outlets and face-plates, and all those other little accessories you’ve seen the teaser photos of.
As you can see A LOT of hard work has gone into this renovation/transformation. I must say I am quite proud of how it has all come together. And I’m really excited to show you guys the grand unveiling so stay tuned!
Can’t wait for the reveal!
