Back in 2009, when we bought our house, our small bathroom looked like this:
Yes my friends, that is shiny wall paper. It was amazing beyond words.
We did
a rushed renovation right before we through out housewarming party and it looked like this:
Sorry for the terrible picture...I have no idea what happened.
I have never been 100% happy with it (oak? WTF were we thinking) so when our toilet sprung a leak, it only gave us more reason to get the renovation under way. We REALLY want to renovate our big bathroom, but need a working shower to do that. Which meant we had to renovate the small bath before the big one because the shower stall in the small bathroom is teeny and creepy.
Thus began the demolition of the small bathroom.
We began by removing the crappy yellowish gold tile (one of THREE rooms with it) in the shower stall (which we kept hidden by a shower curtain). Since we are installing a corner stall, we also needed to remove the wall next to the toilet. Then we had to take out the old shower stall base.
Crappy yellow tile:
OMG. I hate this tile.
I definitely wanted in on power tool usage.
No more wall!
And no more shower stall base!
The plan is to reroute the plumbing, install a new vanity or paint the old one an espresso color, replace the medicine cabinet with a pretty mirror and install a new light fixture. We are also going to retile the floor and install a baseboard (finally). Oh, and because we are removing the vast majority of the drywall in the bathroom, I get to repaint. Again.
