Bathroom Makeover

before

These are the "before" pictures. The shower/toilet area was separated by a wall from the vanity area. too many doors, too dark.

There was water damage to subfloor, replacing plywood.

after demo

This is after the wall was removed, cement board went down and the popcorn ceiling was scraped off. This was the first time removing popcorn ceiling. It was so easy! A spray bottle filled with water was used and then it scrapped right off with a putty knife! I'll be doing the other rooms now I know how easy it is. I would recommend a broom and shop vac for clean up but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The tiles are just dry fitted for now.  It looks so much bigger already!

The small part of the wall was kept due to a vent pipe. (surprise!)
It gave us a place to keep the light switch. We got one that lights up in the dark so you can find it at night. That is cool. For replacing the ceiling light I would like to find an inexpensive crystal one. We'll see.

I have decided to paint the walls white. But I really need a pop of color. I'm staying with the blues and greens, maybe a little purple. I am not sure what what color accent I should use.



Another day:



Well Old Hickory Cabinets is making the vanity for the bathroom and sent over some pictures! It is SO nice! I can't wait for the install. I chose to paint white on white in the bath. So this aged brown look will really pop! The accent colors throught are  the jewel tones aka peacock feathers.

just needs a few touches :)
