Our house in the middle of the street.

The Bathroom That Had To Go

It is one thing for a bathroom to be dated, especially with a house some 50 years old, but for a homeowner to install mauve colored, vinyl tile with roses in the center is W R O N G at any point in history. Who installs tiles like this and says "Yeah, tiles with roses was a great idea. This will never be outdated" and just like that, with the finish of that sentence it was in fact, out dated.

This was the worst looking room in the house so we started with it. Along with the rose tiles the builder thought it would be a great idea to have a window in the SHOWER??? Needless to say some major repairs had to be made which involved removing the window and replacing parts of the exterior wall becuase it was just rotted. With that fixed dad and I built some columns on each side of the tub and a set of in wall shelves for the shower surround. Kristin put together the "Hubs & Wiff" mosaic and tiled it up in the backs of the shelves. I installed the plumbing for the new rainfall shower and we put up all the backer board. That stuff is not as easy to cut as they make it look. Definitely not score and snap, more like rut out with a utility knife and break off with a hammer.

Tiling starts today and we should start to see some light a the end of the hall with this project. Kristin and I finished buying all of the pieces needed this past Sunday and we are excited to see it all together!
