New Bathroom

For Christmas, Shilo gave me a new bathroom.  This is what our old bathroom looked like.  It didn't have a shower.  The vanity had water damage and the front could be pulled off.  The floor's tile had water get underneath it, and caused the grout and tile to break. You can't see it in this picture but the cabinets by the tub were ...different. 

Demolition.  This is the bathroom completely gutted.  We had to take out everything and even put in new plywood on the floor and new plumbing. We even put in a new door coming into the bathroom. Shilo put in new drywall. He even had to do work on the electrical and move the lights and install new plugins.

We got a tub and shower and moved it to the right side of the room.  This is when they did the texture to the drywall.

This is the new vinyl floor and painted walls.

Our new vanity and mirror!

The new tub and shower.  We still have a few minor things to do, but it is now functional!  We want to put a linen closet in that little nook in the corner,behind the wall from the tub.

It took a lot of time and a lot of work.  Shilo worked on it the whole Christmas break, and every night after work for 3 weeks.  It was really hard to only have one bathroom.  The boys would wake up Gavin all the time, because they had to use the bathroom downstairs. We had to bathe our kids at Kurt and Jalene's and then convince them to come home. One day we didn't have water for almost 24 hours.  Let's just say I was not a happy camper!!!!  But now that the stress of it is all over, I just love it!  It is so exciting to see the transformation.  Shilo did a wonderful job, and a lot of it was a first time experience.  Thank you Shilo!
