Grand Master Bath

I'm sitting at home today with a sick-ish kid, so it's a perfect time to update the old blog! A few weeks ago, we met with our contractor to discuss making some changes to the upstairs bathroom. I'm calling it the Grand Master Bath (cousin to DJ Grand Master Flash). Here's the existing layout:

Copa Cabana

When we bought our house in 2014, one of the worst, most dated spots, in my opinion, was actually the main bathroom. It wasn't long before I dubbed it the Copa Cabana for the pink bathtub, sink and tile complimented by the flowery pastel wallpaper. Not to mention the coffin-like corner shower that was made popular in the (60s?). Imagine squeezing a very pregnant body through that tiny door wedging your leg up on the side of the shower wall to shave your leg. Wait, don't! It isn't pretty. I knew we wouldn't be able to renovate/remodel the bathroom for awhile, so we set out to make it liveable. After a few months, we took down the wallpaper and painted it a nice neutral shade of beige. You may recall that the reason we renovated the laundry room and half-bathroom was so we would have a shower when we finally got around to renovating our main bathroom. Well, the time has come! Stay tuned to learn about what we are doing in here and soon!!!

Mudroom PTSD

Spoiler Alert: We LOVE our mudroom and new bathroom. If you want to skip to the bottom of this post to see the end result, go for it! If you want to know why it's taken me eight months to write another blog post, keep reading. Want to know something funny? Our mudroom/bathroom renovation that was supposed to finish in one month, took three months. Okay, that's not funny, but at least now (6 months later) we can start to laugh about it. Let's back up to January when we were supposed to finish our bathroom right about the time I started a new job, a significant promotion (I may add). End of January. We were no where near having laundry back in our house let alone a usable second toilet. Nothing stressful about that. 😒 Here's what our room looked like on my first day of my new job:  Hey, but at least we had an exterior wall again! There was 1.5 things that made us jump the rails on the schedule around mid-January. #1 Plumber I really can't even expres
