THE Bathroom!!

This is THE Bathroom’s big reveal or shall I just say, “TaDa!”

My Loving Spouse and I are feeling very pleased with ourselves and the final outcome of the ‘Attic’ Bath.  We started this process years ago, when we were much younger…no, that’s not entirely true, we were old then too.  

The floor is freshly painted.  The shower glass door is installed, even though the instructions were the worst we’ve ever seen, possibly written by a 7 year-old whose primary language is not English.  Seriously, don’t try this at home, unless you are like My Loving Spouse and you’re “handy as pockets”.

We’d planned on the most amazing set of medicine cabinets for Team Offspring.  They would be extra deep and include outlets inside, so the kids could charge their beauty supplies and be ready for all quaffing emergencies.  There were some ‘stud’ issues and we had a few ‘design’ discussion/fights.  I recently looked at My Loving Spouse and said, “Scrap it.  Team Offspring doesn’t even live here anymore, let’s just put up some mirrors.”I painted our little footstools in matching colors.  We are completely ready for small visitors.

The hand towel hook performs a dual purpose, providing a handhold for the secret hatch, which allows us to access the plumbing behind the wall.

My Grandfather’s Clothes Tree stands at the ready for a towel or bathrobe.

I don’t know which we are more please about, the fact that the bathroom came out so nicely, or the fact that we are finally done!

We’re planning on a little toast tonight to celebrate THE Bathroom!

We are sort of proud of our old selves…

So….it took a while…and a lot of help,

and we are certainly blessed!

(Bathroom posts, which prove it only took a little over 4 years, and here I was thinking it was 5.  Ha!)

      It has come a long way! I am so glad I have blogged about it, as even I have forgotten all that needed to be done.
      The upstairs is ready for my soon to be retired friend visit!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new bathroom! You must be so proud of yourselves… and SO glad it is done. The bookcase with bath toys lined up is precious. And the little door cut to fit under the roof line looks magical… Harry Potter could live there.
