17 days in...

We started this project on January 1. Well, actually, my hubby started this project on January 1!!! It's always tough to do big projects when you just have weekends to work on it, and of course he can't work on all of them because I work nights and sleep during the day... and I work my fair share of weekends! The is as far as the demo has progressed. We still need to remove the shower base and the medicine cabinet. My hubby has spent the afternoon gathering supplies like tile, grout, a toilet, sheet rock and cement board. I'm hoping that this all starts looking like a bathroom soon! We have family coming into town in a couple of weeks and I would love to have at least a sink and toilet to use... I'm not getting my hopes up because I happen to be working next weekend...

And so we begin a new project...

Welcome to our bathroom... our master bath to be exact! It actually isn't very "master" in size or appearance, but we hope to change the appearance for the better!! These are the before pics. As you can see, not only is the bathroom extremely hideous, it will not come clean either. I can't tell you how many times I have scrubbed that shower floor, only to be disappointed that it's still stained! The shower has recently sprung a leak into our kitchen (our new kitchen, that is) so we thought it would be appropriate to do the bathroom next, since we will have to fix that plumbing anyway! The vanity is fairly new and is the only thing that will find it's way back into this bathroom. I have gray slate tile picked out for the floor and white subway tile picked out for the shower. The toilet also won't come entirely clean, so we're replacing it too!

Gotta love that "dusty rose" tile!

I won't be missing this shower floor!!!
