Bath Reveal

A couple of weeks ago, I sent my sister a pic of some of my bathroom projects.  She responded that she couldn’t wait to see it, and all I could think was, “Me either!”  Well, the wait is finally over!  The construction site my husband lovingly called our bathroom is gone.

I had a few reasons for the makeover:

• Function
  1. I needed a place for tooth and hair brushes to help prevent school mornings from turning into a trainwreck.
  2. We needed a place to hang pool towels so they wouldn’t all end up on the floor.
  3. The lights projected out from the wall too far and would often get hit by the door.
  4. We needed window treatments for privacy.
• Form
  1. The room layout is choppy, and the small space and tall walls just made it feel uncomfortable and unbalanced.
  2. The cutout in the shower wall does exactly what I had hoped – it allows natural light to stream through the room.  But the opening itself felt unfinished.
  3. The plumbing underneath the sink wasn’t very pretty.
  4. The mirror was too small and felt lost on that big wall.

Quite simply, I’m much more excited to walk in there now.  It doesn’t feel like the leftovers anymore!   I followed no rules – just used what I liked.  I will apologize ahead of time for the heavy pics!

Then

And now…
