New Bathroom

While the house is off the market we're adding another bathroom upstairs so that its not just the Jack & Jill one. That was a real turn off for everyone.

So we're redoing the old one at the same time. It measures 12.5X5 feet, we're not changing the bathtub or toilet but the old vanity HAD to go. As did the old towel rails and mirror. 


I picket up a pretty light blue paint, Schoolboy Blue, for the bathroom walls




Below, the top pipe is for the toilet & the lower one is the shower' We T'd in to add the drain for the new shower & will do so for the toilet also.


The sink will be added next.

This is the view from the door into the new bathroom. It used to go into our bedroom.

This is from across the old bedroom; the old door opening in the middle is going to be closed off and the vanity will cover most of that area with the toilet by the garbage can & the shower on the left.




This is where the new door to the bedroom will be, at the top of the stairs. We're going to make sliding barn doors like we have for the downstairs bathroom. Not only for this bedroom door, but also for the bathroom & other bedroom at the end of the hall. 


But before we could do the bathrooms, we had to get the other bedroom set up for us to use.

removed the carpet & put down the remaining Acacia hardwood flooring.



I painted the walls a very light gray (sorry, don't recall the name)


and painted the window wall & trim Blizzard Fog.




We put all new trim around the floor. The door on the left, to the hallway, will eventually be replaced by a barn door, I'd like the other one, into the bathroom, also to be a barn door.

While we were at Lowes I saw a new fan I like 

to replace this old, white monstrosity. This is a cool fan because its got a remote but its so ugly.



I can't wait to see the new one in action and it too has a remote.
