Bathroom Renovation: The Before

Kevin the contractor has been working on our bathroom since Monday...it's about time for me to start writing about it! Let's start with the before. As you walked into the room, this was on your right. I took this last Friday, as I started to clean things out. Abbey is helping me. The window is on the left hand side of the room. This is a close-up of where Bailey has been eating the floor for almost two years since Adam tore it up in front of the bath tub. And it's a good thing I took this photo a few days before...the night before when we were cleaning everything out it MYSTERIOUSLY fell to the ground, just missing me and shattering. Guess it knew what was coming! Monday morning...last bath in the old tub for the kids....trust me, Adam misses it. He has flipped out the last three days using the tub in the other bathroom, refusing to sit. I have to wash him and his hair while he yells at me. Abbey is fine with any tub. She looks at Adam like he's a moron for flipping out! Hard to get too irritated with this face though....poor Adam, enjoying his last bath in his old tub! :) Here is the shelf/cabinet that was to the right of the door. Basically between the doorway and the vanity and crappy plastic drawer unit you saw in the first photo! I will NOT miss the curvy little bric-a-brac. I really can't stand it...it's over the shower, too and in the doorway between our living room and dining room. Last photo of the room standing in the doorway. I am so excited about this re-do, but I can't help be a bit nostalgic. This is where my babies had their first baths! It occurs to me as everything is out that it is our stuff that makes it our home. Here, it looks like an empty shell. Easier to stop the nostalgia that way!

  1. Yeah....I think it is exciting. You are way more nostalgic now than usual. I guess it comes and goes in phases. Change can do you good ;-)
