Remodel

We knew when we bought our new house that we would need to remodel (or at least update) the master bathroom.  The original bathroom was made up of two small spaces: a vanity with no door and open to our bedroom and a claustrophobic toilet and shower room.  Almost a year later, with the hard work of a great contractor, we did the remodel.  

The vanity room before the remodel.  

The vanity area after the remodel now made into one room with the shower/toilet area, a double sink, new cabinets, and tiled floor.  Note the door to our bedroom that closes.

Here are some shots of the toilet/tub area before the remodel.  The space is so small that I had to take multiple "before" shots to get the whole area.

Here is the after...

Little vanity area where the old sink was located giving us more storage

A shot of most of the "new" bathroom.  

Although, because of the boys, I often get my shower where I can in the house having shampoo, soap, and razors stashed in every bathroom, it is nice to have this new, beautiful space in our home.  Still, it is only a space and not an end to itself.  This remodel is a gift and we are grateful for it.  

PS.  So both boys were actually asleep at the same time this afternoon so I took an extra-long shower in the new bathroom.  It was glorious and since it is all brand new it I don't have to clean it yet...
