Build Bath & Shower

After Before The Original Floorplan Last June, Jeremy and I started the process of remodeling the second floor of our home. There were lots of things that bothered me about the original layout, and you can probably discern a lot of them from the “before” pictures, more of which you can see in West Elm’s post here. Originally, the second floor had a master bedroom , tiny master bathroom , and a weird tiny bedroom that could only fit a twin size bed and had a weird area where the eaves of the roof slanted down to the ground making it almost impossible to keep anything there. The master bathroom consisted of a small crappy plastic tube -shaped shower, a vanity, and the toilet. The shower was the bane of my existence, because the way it was built and assembled left all these little gaps in the plastic pieces  in it that were impossible to get to with cleaning brush, so mold would just grow between the cracks, and the rubber lining along the shower door where the plastic sheets touched k...

Update! Here’s what this bathroom looks like now (above!), after another bathroom refresh a few years later! :-) Below is the first refresh! Boy’s Bathroom Before & After So, last week I told you I was going to give my son’s bathroom a little facelift. And now we’re done! Just like on TV. Oh, wait. No, actually, that was LAST YEAR that I told you were were doing this quick bathroom makeover !! Holy cow, time flies when you are a busy family. A whole year!

But we are just too busy to work on it five days in a row. And, it was mostly done awhile ago, I just was kind of lazy about taking pictures. This room I speak of was a fine enough bathroom to start with, better than ma...

Organized Master Bathroom ! (Sunny Side Up)" width="680" height="1020" /> Hello hello friends!  Today I’m sharing my organized master bathroom with you all!  Well.  Some of it.  Part of it.  The part that’s organized.  Ha.  Kidding!  It’s actually all organized.  But only because this room (for the most part) is a kid free zone.  I have control.  Complete control!  It’s a wonderful feeling!  ;) { Master Bathroom Tour and Sources} (affiliate links used) Let’s start with the built-in cabinets on the left!  My side of the bathroom. :) They hold all of our towels.  LOVE the Savannah baskets from PB for organizing (on sale right now!).  I have them all throughout my house! More towels on the bottom. I did a major towel clean out in the Spring when I bought some new towels and tossed everything that was old and we weren’t using anymore.  Feels so good to not have cupboards that are crammed with too many towels! Pretty much the same thing on my husband’s side of...
