Bathroom 2

Because of our home’s layout, we don’t have a bathroom on our main floor, so this upstairs hall bathroom is what we expected to be our go-to bathroom when guests come over. Before we got our hands on it, the bathroom had two doors: one to exit to the hallway, and the other to our bedroom. But now that we have our own bathroom, we had no need for a doorway to this bathroom from our room, so we closed it up which gave us a bit more wall space in both of the rooms. And, fun fact: what we thought was a white bathtub is actually a blue bathtub that the previous owners painted white. We found that out as we were re-tiling the floor. We would eventually like to redo the bathtub surround, which is a project for another day but a white shower curtain covers up the oldness quite nicely for now. 

{The before. A standard single-sink bathroom. This picture was taken from the then-doorway to our bedroom.}

And the after:

{Caleb plumbed out a second sink so that both Mason and Camryn could be in the bathroom together without attacking one another. We know our kids and their needs. Where the linen cabinet is was where the door used to be. And we settled on this vanity, which is ok. We currently live in a world where you buy what is available, and it’s not necessarily what you want. New flooring, new mirrors, new light fixtures, and we have a functioning bathroom, folks. Except that we are pretty sure the the shower might be leaking through the ceiling in Jacob’s bathroom, so we fixed it by not letting anyone use that shower.}

And not to be forgotten: the toilet that lived in our hallway for several days during the reno. These are the things memories are made of!
