bathroom before and after.....

Before......

and after.....

When we moved in, we always wanted to update the bathroom. (Not that I don't love a good fake marble wall). But with it being the only bathroom in the house, it was never easy to time a reno (we tend to enjoy having a functioning toilet). With my parents away for a few weeks, we set up camp in their home (toilets and showers!) and tore apart our little space. We did it all on a shoestring budget (under $2000). My hubby and father-in-law ripped everything out and started from scratch. They did all the dirty work: installations/plumbing/electrical/drywalling.  We bought the toilet/light fixture/tub/tiles/flooring/ showerhead and mirror from Home Depot and the sink is from Ikea. We raised the lighting and tiled the tub up to the ceiling. We put the showerhead at a height that makes sense( our old one used to hit my hubby dead center in the chest). It's amazing how much taller the space feels because of these little adjustments. From our little home to yours, goodnight! xo
