Here's how we found it. Can you believe that we still decided to buy this place? From the grey-and-white color scheme to the half-hearted updating that added a brown tile floor and accent in the shower. It was your basic disaster.
Of course the beginning of any renovation is the demolition. This was our first experience with seeing a room taken down to its bare bones. Something of an eye-opener for us. Fortunately there weren't any signs of water damage, but we'd never seen the underside of a cast-iron tub.
Here's how things looked as we started the rebuilding process.
Our first idea was to go all white to match the new white tub. And a bright yellow color on the walls. Alas, that's not how things stayed.
After realizing that white wasn't the right style, we had that taken out and launched into our second design of the room. This time we included a nice personalized accent border. But we were still working with the yellow color.
Ta-da! Here's the finished product. The final tally is:
new floor, new toilet, new vanity that we stained, new counter top, new sink fixtures, new mirror, new window, new blinds, new decorative touches...
...new shower tile, new shower curtain, new curtain rod...
...new shower fixture...
...new door, new switch plates, new exhaust fan, and new paint throughout.
