1950's Bathroom

The best place to start is the beginning but seeing as our lives are currently consumed with this bathroom renovation, we start here. Sure, we'll go back and look at the 4 months we remodeled our first home, cutting out floors, replacing the cabinets, standing on the dirt ground while in the bedroom...all those are to come.

Currently, our bedroom has one teeny, tiny bathroom attached. The bathroom is fitted with a toilet, sink, and shower. The tile is circa 1955 and pink. The shower floor is...pink...ish. As we removed the baseboards in the bedroom adjacent to the bathroom, we noticed a large amount of mold and mildew damage. So, when we removed the floors and turned on the shower, we could see the leak that must have been occurring for years. In the last three years, we've never used the bathroom connected to our room. Two weeks ago we got a sledge hammer out and tore the place apart.

  1. OMG!!! You were plagued with the same AWEFUL pink tile as us! We tore ours out too! Susan has pictures of our almost-finished bathroom remodel. Total cost was about $2600.00 give or take, including granite counter, new jacuzzi tub, expanded shower with floor-to-ceiling tile, and ceramic tile floors. It was a big project, but we LOVE it!
