The Bathroom- Before

Okay, I finally have a chunk of time to devote to posting home renovation projects! Hopefully, Blogger will cooperate and work well (Some days it's hard to post pictures because the site is slow or freezes up.).

Anyway, here is a picture of our downstairs bathroom before we moved in! Kind of on the small side, but okay. This area used to be a side porch and was turned into a bath. It had sliding glass doors for the shower stall, pretty plain assemble in place-type oak finish cabinets, and carpeting. Even though the bathroom was functional and not nearly as out of date as some other parts of our house (built in the 1890's), the style and fixtures weren't really our style.
About two years ago, the shower started to crack along the bottom. The area around the drain hadn't been supported properly and so we were getting water damage on the carpeting. We knew we'd need to replace the shower and flooring. In the meantime, Josh decided to start adding some woodworking details to the room. He framed out the window.
Then, added beadboard and molding to the ceiling.
Then... THIS is what the bathroom looked like for a long time! Major construction zone!! I was pregnant during this time and had to trek upstairs to go to the bathroom. Do you know how often that was being a pregnant woman? Whew, I'm glad those days are over.
