bathroom reno

The previous owner of our house fancied himself handy and redid the bathroom. However, the genius put standard drywall in the shower which quickly started to grow mold. Gross. So, Dennis and I decided that it had to go and we committed to reno the bathroom. Now when I say we, I generally mean Dennis doing the hard labour and me giving the disapproving looks and moaning about how long its taking.

Here is what the bathroom started like:

The highlights you will quickly notice are the lovely linoleum flooring, the 70s style storage unit/mirror and the wainscoting.

Because of the mold Dennis literally took the entire bathroom apart.

At this stage I was having a massive panic attack, but I kept my cool on the outside.

For the new bathroom we decided on glass tile for the tub area - which we found out later is one of the most difficult to install - gray tiles for the floor, a new tub, a new toilet, new paint colour on the walls and a new mirror.

4 weeks, much complaining, many drives to and from Byron (we stayed with Sandy B while this was all being done), 100 trips to Home Depot, many charges to the Home Depot credit card later the bathroom was complete.
 

 
Now that's better. But next time I think we will just pay the experts.
