Jan's Bathroom Remodel- GREAT Before & Afters

Quite a while ago I helped my friend,

Jan make some decisions

on her kitchen remodeling project.

We also revamped her living room a bit

because it flows into the kitchen/dinette area.

There is a post about that project here.

You know I am a coffee drinker, right?

I KNOW you know THAT!

You know what coffee drinkers need, right?

Yeah- BATHROOMS!

Well, let me tell you something,

Jan's bathroom needed a makeover

even worse than her kitchen.

as much as her kitchen did..

I was nice enough to point that out to her here.

Anyway, how do you like THIS?
Isn't it classic and gorgeous?

We decided on a black and white color scheme.
Do you see the shelves above the toilet?
You can cut the drywall out between the studs
and gain about 3-1/2" of depth for shelving.
They do that for medicine cabinets all the time
and you can do it for shelving, too.

Here is what she started out with.

The window was replaced
with a waterproof one that still lets in light
but doesn't give the local
Peeping Tom a show,

There was new white subway tile put in.
The wallpaper was all stripped away.

This was the old vanity and countertop:
Makes you want to poke your eye out with a stick,huh?
Ain't never gonna be 1970 again.....
Janet was ready for a change.

We went from that to this:

Jan's son, Nate, came home for two weeks
and did this project for her.
Isn't he a great son?
He does this sort of remodeling for a livelihood.

The walls are a soft grey.
Jan likes purple (cuz she's a royal kinda gal)
and pulled some nice pops of purple into the room

No more THIS!
Look at that Jan- she jumps into the picture
every chance she gets!
Oh- she is gonna KILL ME-
more than once!

.But she will calm down
as soon as she slips into her new
spa-like bath retreat.

After our discussion(s)

Jan picked out everything herself.

She has really good taste

and just needs to trust her own instincts.

Her hubby is my hubby's best friend.

That's MyHero and Mikey.

 

I wonder if that

SPA TUB

is big enough for both of them?

OH! There's another "picture" that makes me want to

poke my eyes out!

Have a great Monday.

Pick a project and go for it!
