Tah Dah!!!!

How in the world did I neglect the documentation and celebration of the completed downstairs bathroom remodel? We are lucky enough to have two bathrooms in our little home. Growing up with one bath and three siblings taught me real appreciation of this luxury. However, from the moment I moved in 8 1/2 years ago I couldn't wait to eventually tear the downstairs bath apart and create something fantastic. So, last spring Scott and I worked with a neighborhood contractor to rip things apart and begin anew. We removed everything to the studs, moved plumbing for the shower and toilet, pushed back a wall, created built in shelves, and created storage space under the stairs with laundry room access. It was an amazing transformation! This little room moved from being a scary, creepy, deep showered spot to an open and bright room. Yes, the subway tile took me four days to put up. It would have taken longer without Challey's help. But, it was completely worth it. Scott's great experience helped the floor tiling go smooth and everything looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. I am now proud to show people to the bathroom, when nature calls...

The before included a deep single shower with dark brown tile and yellow accents.
