Bathroom Before & After

We finally said goodbye to our 1960's fleshy pink and minty green bathrooms recently after an unpleasant water incident between the walls. I'm thrilled with the results!

Today the Hall Bath.

Before:The Bath when we bought the house

During: the Bath in one of its many stages

Before. Other than the offensive colors, the Bath was cramped and didn't function well for us. It's the main Bath for one of my daughters as well as the Guest Bath. There was little storage and you were greeted by the toilet when you opened the door (one of my pet peeves).

After: The new and improved Hall Bath

We removed the tub and replaced it with a shower which instantly opened up the space. The room is shallow and I'm a big fan of drawer storage so the perfect vanity solution was actually a dresser. My fabulous contractor retrofitted the piece (aka: cut a hole in the top, cut up the top drawer and re-built it in a "U" shape to fit around the plumbing - genious).

A Giant wall-mounted mirror surrounds the vanity and creates a great, easy to clean backsplash. Faucets mounted on the mirror save precious counter space.

A whole wall of shallow cabinets allow storage for everything including towels, supplies and necessities. No more hair dryers and flat irons left on the countertop.

 

 

Simply changing the direction of the door swing means you are greeted with a pretty view of the vanity and shower.

The new color scheme is in keeping with the rest of the house, there is a place for everything and our house is back up and running again. ahhhhhhh.
