Bathroom Remodel

So...back in February we decided to remodel the bathroom. It was partially because we wanted a makeover and partially because it NEEDED it...the bathtub had been leaking, causing water to go into the floor under it and into the basement bathroom, which also caused MOLD to grow. We had just found out I was pregnant and mold + baby = not good, so out came the saws-all!

Here are the before pics!

The previous owners PAINTED the counter and the tub. Then, when the painted the walls they must have spilled in the tub so to cover it up they "splatter painted" the tub. Really?!?! Then they used those cheap sticker tiles on the floor and they started to peel.

The vanity was super cheap and no amount of varnish could've fixed it. We also had NO storage in it so I had to put a second set of drawers to hold my makeup.

This is during:

This is when we took the tub out and cut out the parts of the floor that were rotten.

New tub and walls are ready for tile!

Travertine floor to ceiling with glass and slate accent tiles. I LOVE the way it turned out! That was the first wall color we tried...WAY too green. We tried a few after that before we found one we loved...a slate gray with blue undertones that matches the accent tile perfectly!

And this is how it turned out!!
So, here is the end product! 12x12 travertine on the floor, polished 12x18 travertine on the walls, a paint color we love!

I just LOVE our vanity and the hammered copper sink! Oddly, even though it is way smaller than the last one it has WAY more storage space! I also love that the smaller vanity makes the room look a little bigger.

So glad that project is done, but mostly, I am glad it is a safe place for Haley!
