So last night I was almost done with my bathroom reveal post with all the before and after pictures in place. I hit enter, obviously in the wrong place, and the whole thing deleted, never to be found again!
Yup, I was a little upset. I had written most of it a month ago, and since my memory doesn't go back that far, I could not recall most of it.
It was just some commentary on the pain and suffering and woes of going through a renovation....ya know, like having to use the toilet that sits in the middle of the basement and showering in the tiny claw foot tub upstairs while all my toiletries are downstairs.
You almost didn't believe me, did you?
Not to mention the daily mess and miscommunication with the contractors. One major setback was to do with thinking we only wanted the floor IN the bathroom changed and not the adjacent hallway.
What? Gorgeous new tile floor next to 1960's gray linoleum?
Nope.
Delay.
I knew my colors would be black and white with Aqua accents. I also wanted a black feature wall and a chandelier hung right in the middle where the fan was. I think they thought I was a little cuckoo.
Do they NOT ever watch HGTV?
Obviously not.
So I am saving you from all the details of the renovation process and let's get on with the before and after pictures.
You're welcome.
The angles may be a little wonky because there is no where to stand to get a good picture. It is small!

And just some random pictures.....
I bought three different shower curtains, 2 different light fixtures and three shower liners before we got it right! There is a bit of a learning curve on which liner works on a walk in shower stall as opposed to a tub so as not to soak the whole bathroom after a shower!
I decided to keep the black shower curtain for Fall and Winter and the Aqua one for Spring and Summer.
What's next you ask?? I have to strip the wallpaper in the linen closet/hallway area. I will leave the trim white and re-wallpaper it in this.....
It is a Vintage Damask black and white linen look wallpaper.
I am so excited that I have a toilet that flushes every time, a shower that does not rock while in it, and a floor that doesn't take me back to the 60's, in a bad way! Actually the floor I chose takes me back to my Grandmother's bathroom in the 60's, in a good way.
I am not promising that after this bathroom area is all done that I won't have other places to update in this 1870's Victorian house of mine.
Does it ever end??
Of course I know the answer to that....I live in an old house!
