You’re Committed Now!! {The Bathroom Project Begins}
I’ve been pondering a makeover for our main bathroom for a long, long time. I was ready to dive right in.
However, as I plotted and planned, I realized a “little” makeover here was going to require much more than just a can of paint and some fun fabric. Ideas that seemed so simple at first, would end up leading to some major snag! So, now ~ almost 2 years later ~ it’s still identical to what it was then.
But (hallelujah!)…we now have a plan.
It starts right here:
One of my main goals in this bathroom spiff up is to do something about those awful tiles. The 70s retro look isn’t what I have in mind. In order to do something about that, I first had to remove all that caulking by the tub. See it there?
It’s kinda hard to miss. In some places, it’s about 1 inch thick. As soon as I started cutting it out, I realized it was our bathroom makeover “point of no return”.
I’m committed now…
The plan is to start with this wall with the tub:
and then move on to the rest of the teeny tiny room.
I have big ideas…;)
You go girl! I can’t wait until you finish it. And there’s no stopping you now!
Happy day to you friend!

PS I love your blog. 🙂
Yes, it looks like there’s no turning back! My mom had a similar dated look and she ended up going over everything with bath fitter. Sometimes it’s opening a can of worms, as you know. Can’t wait to see what you do!
It’s good to have that kind of time to think and plan. We had to renovate our bathroom 6 mos. after we moved into our 1930’s house. There was water “raining” into our basement every time someone showered. I quickly arranged for the renovation and just did the same kind of bathroom that I had done in our previous home. Except I had a porcelain pedestal tub re glazed off site. We finished the bathroom with bead board wainscotting,which I did in a natural wood finish. The tub took 3 men to put in place. 6 mos. after the reno, I wished I would’ve done a vintage style tile instead of the wainscotting. But I can’t even begin to think of the work that would entail. And painting the wood white would be a challenge with the fixtures so close to the wall.
Looking forward to postings as you complete this project!
