Remodel (before)

We are getting ready to start the remodel of our Master Bath and we took some before pictures to remind of us of how far we will come. Take a look.

Our beautiful shower that is less than 3 ft x 3ft. It was so small and that ugly cultured marble with BLUE streaks in it - BLUE... Really? It's difficult to keep clean because it doesn't dry out well after showers. The frosted glass framed shower door is also a nightmare to keep clean.

Ahhh - the toilet. This is the only thing that is going to stay. It will have to be removed and reinstalled after all the floor is put in.

NOTE: Carpet from 1984 on the floor. Carpet is bad in a bathroom. Bad Bad Bad. Especially when it's 28 years old. Trust me on this one! We are having heated tile floors installed in a beautiful chocolate brown color. It's going to be so luxurious!

Powder blue sinks... Really - who made that decision? The tile, while beautiful if you look at it close up and in much smaller doses - is way too busy for me and doesn't even go with Powder blue. The strip lighting is pretty 80's and the vanity is pretty beat up and is past it's prime. We are having a maple vanity installed with an upper cabinet. Also, the height will be ~35 inches (around kitchen height) instead of the old standard of ~30 inches. We will have 2 smaller mirrors and new light fixtures. We will have more outlets and one on the inside of the upper cabinet. I'm so excited about this little detail. It will be so nice to plug in our toothbrushes and not have to look at it all the time.

Our (actually) very big walk in closet - with surprisingly little storage. Just one bar and one shelf. We put a dresser in the closet to help with storage. And since our shower is expanding - we will be losing about 9 inches of this closet. But, no matter - we will be getting a closet organizing system... it will be so much better than what we had. I'm thinking of painting our closet a bold saturated color. I'm not sure yet what color - but, will have to decide soon.

I'll post the after (or during) pictures - it will be an amazing tranformation.
