Our new house was a one bathroom only!
With our families in Europe and visiting usually for a few weeks (and with a baby on the way), the bathroom became our number one priority!
So today’s post includes no pretty pictures, but it does include where we started!
If you want a complete Tour of the Old House, you know where to look!
Welcome to our (soon to be) ensuite bathroom!!
Take a peek at the existing floor plans – The layout was not ideal.
We knew when we bought the house that we wanted to reshape almost the entire second floor.
My husband and I knew exactly what we wanted : An ensuite bathroom!! (And why not a walk-in closet right!?)
Here’s what the bathroom looked like:
There was absolutely no storage!
And being completely obsessed about cleaning and having everything sorted into container boxes, I had to find the perfect new layout for our bathroom, with a bigger cabinet!
Since we didn’t know if anything was leaking, rusting, failing… ALL HAD TO GO!
So my husband stripped the bathroom down to the studs!
Fancy taking a little shower?!
See our happy (tired) faces during demolition!? It was exhausting spending our weekends tearing down everything!
But also so worth it! (Ok, HE was demolishing, and I was cleaning up, but still !)
Funny thing, during the demolition, we saw a slot inside the original medicine cabinet. When we knocked down the wall, there were hundreds of rusty razor blades flying everywhere! We had absolutely no idea that this was a razor disposal slot!
Demolition only happens once. Here, we had a chance to start over with new materials and gain a peace of mind that nothing was going to cause us any problem in the future.
The room was now ready for a fresh start!
So now you are probably wondering what direction we are headed…
For more bathroom progress, stay tuned!
