Bathroom Makeover

Tuesday, July 24, 2018



ok this post has been a long time coming! We actually finished our 2nd bathroom makeover a couple weeks ago, I've just been hoping to find a mirror before posting the after photos, but i haven't found one i just love yet, so i'm going to post what we have done now, which is still amazing!

When I moved into this house in the summer of 2014 it was definitely a cowboy bunkhouse/hunting lodge to say the least! We have torn out everything except the drywall & started new! It's been a 4 year process & we are still not done, probably because i like to change things all the time, ha!

So in the original bathroom from the 70's was a few layers of linoleum flooring that was chipping away, and the floor was actually falling in, in front of the sink, so we had to completely scrape each layer of linoleum up & then replace the joist underneath the house & then the plywood base, from there we put in these dark wood laminate snap together wood flooring through out the house, i have a love/hate relationship with them, love that it's not the old flooring, hate how much they show, and how big of a pain they are to clean! anyway, so after we fixed the floors, or before we put in the flooring we scraped all the popcorn ceiling down, ripped out the vanity & started new!

We actually painted it the dark grey that it has been for the last 4 years, which i have liked but was ready for a change. We then moved onto my favorite part of the whole room, the vanity! I get people asking me allllll the time about my baby blue farmhouse sink! It was actually the sink from my great grandparents house, it was the sink my grandpa used growing up. The house he grew up in is ran down into the ground now, so my family & I went there a few years back just to see if there was any cool junk we could find, and i found this sink half way sticking out of the dirt & dug it up! My family all thought I was crazy to bring a sink home, & asked what i was going  to do with it. At the time I had no idea, but i knew i would eventually use it, and here it is! We built the wood vanity around it actually! With the first wood vanity it was supposed to have a shelf on the bottom, but that hasnt got done in 4 years, so with this new remodel i actually stripped the bottom shelf base off & stained the wood a darker brown to match everything, i'm sooooo madly in love with it!

Soooo here we are to the newest remodel of the bathroom, the facelift! Out with the grey, in with the new! We SHIP LAPPED! Ya! Added some new decor, stained the trim & vanity & called it good, it makes the room feel so much homier & brighter, & cleaner! I love it, Zack loves it, & the boys love it, it is their bathroom after all!
