Our kitchen and bathroom have been on the back of our minds for a long time; two big projects that must be tackled before we can sell the house. With Matt unexpectedly being out of work and the two of us being at home for a little while, we decided to go ahead and do the bathroom renovation.
The problems with the bathroom were:
- the bath made a weird popping noise when you stood in certain places
- The tub surround was very moldy
- The wall at both the head and foot of the bath was rotting
- Outdated fixtures in bath/shower and sink
- Outdated lighting
- Damaged sink and outdated cabinet
- Ugly stick down tiles
Here it is in all it's moldly glory:
As you can imagine it has been a lovely relaxing place to take a bath.
Not so much.
Now you have seen the bath and shower that we have been living with for over six years. There is of course a little bit more to the bathroom but I will show you that another time. We haven't started on that part of the room so no before pictures yet.
The bathroom has been a work in progress for 13 days now. The back of the house is an obstacle course! It definitely makes me rethink the idea of living in a house while fully renovating it. I'm also really glad we didn't attempt to do it as a weekend project, it has been a lot more complicated than anticipated!
