We have a bathroom!

/ Katie

More accurately, we have two and a half. But the one upstairs is officially renovated and done! It still needs some finishing touches, but I’m very happy with it.

I’m so glad we chose warm, bright colors. The green felt like a bit of a risk, but the room gets so much light, I think it really works, especially with the white tile in the shower. It just looks so fresh and clean.

And we were able to install the clawfoot tub!

We’ve set it up so that we have a shower and toilet room, and then a separate little annex for the tub, a closet, and another vanity, and I think that really works, too. It’s also an example of living in a historic home – you just have to use the space you have the best that you can.

Now that this one’s done, we’ve really only got some cosmetic work left. Painting, fixing a few ceilings that look cracked and tired, finishing up with shutters and a few small items on the exterior. It’s not much, is my point. We could do more, but with Baby Girl set to make her debut in a month, we’ve got some other stuff to focus on. 😊

So, onward, as always. It’s going to be an interesting few weeks as we wait for her to get here, but at least I’ve got a nice, pretty bathroom to hang out in, in the meantime!

    • Oh, not long, I’m sure. We definitely decided we needed that extra vanity. I’m going to find a really nice mirror for it. I suspect she’ll also really love the tub. And to make it even better for her, the entrance to the annex room with the tub and extra vanity is in what will be her bedroom. Lol. we basically built our kid a bathroom, and she’s not even born yet. One month to go!

    • That’s exactly what we wanted to do, and I love that you noticed! I can’t wait to take a bath in the tub. Going to be a little while, I think. But it’s going to be very worth the effort to get the floor reinforced and get all that weight up the stairs.
