If you've been following along, you know that a few years ago my daughter purchased a 1950's fixer upper. She's been slowly renovating and in the middle of all that she got married last July. She and her new husband decided that the next item on the reno list was the upstairs bathroom. I'm sharing the BEFORE today.
I debated about how to write this. I considered combining the before and after into one post. After going back and forth about the best way to share this, I decided that I'd do the BEFORE and post the AFTER as a separate post. So brace yourselves. This isn't pretty, but the result (you'll have to check back for that) is oh so very gorgeous.
This is how it looked peeking in from the hallway.

The mirrored medicine chest, the light, the sink, toilet, and all the tile were removed.
We basically gutted the whole room.
There was a "shelf" under the window. We wanted to remove it to gain some added floor space. Unfortunately it held some duct work, so it had to stay.

The floor was in good shape.
We removed it too though because we were going with a different color combination.

The tile in the shower/tub area was damaged. Since there was another bathroom with a bathtub, we decided to remove the bathtub and replace it with a walk-in shower. To make the shower larger, we bumped out the room a few feet into the adjacent bedroom. We were very happy with the decision.

This was a true fixer upper. Don't forget to check back for the transformation.
If you'd like to see how we updated her dining area go here.
She's already replaced windows, painted the house inside and out, added window treatments, new lighting, removed walls, added a new kitchen floor and painted her kitchen cabinets.
Stay tuned for those posts too.
