Bathroom Renovation

While I was away on a girls youth retreat in March, Brian began the renovations on our downstairs bathroom. It was the only room in the house that was not renovated prior to us moving in back in November 2007. The picture to the left doesn't really do justice to the need for renovations, . . . but the walls were very cheap wallboard that would sage if you leaned into them, the wood trim was broken and jagged near the base boards, the sink was large and made it difficult for people to squeeze by, it wasn't insulated so it was cold in winter, there was no fan, and the ceiling showed leak marks. So, we thought it was time for renovations, especially with thinking about a little one coming and it almost being hazardous with the jagged wood especially.

Before the pictures, I must thank my hubby for ALL the VERY HARD work he put into this bathroom. I love it now, and actually want to use it. Brian calls it "his bathroom" now.

Here are the pictures showing the transformation . . .

What a difference! It looks great! Way to go all the way and gut the whole thing for installation instead of just doing what visibly looks better. I'm sure you'll be happy you did that in the winter. :) It really looks wonderful.
