Hall Bathroom Renovation

I have talked about our home renovation quite a bit on here, but never really the full details. With our renovation, we (our contractor and work crew) are remodeling our master bath, hall bath, 4 closets, new carpet in the bedrooms, new floor boards throughout the whole house (even the area already renovated) new wood flooring in the living room, dining room and hallway, and new lighting in our house. It is a lot to take on all at once. But we survived a kitchen remodel three years ago, so why not do it again? I say that sarcastically since this has been a process.

But on Monday November 25th, they started the first part of the remodel. We are having it done in phases as we still need to live at our house. First up, is the hall bathroom, then the master bathroom along with the closets being done at the same time. Then we will do the flooring and lighting last.

On Sunday November 24th, I made sure to fully clean out the hall bathroom. This is the bathroom that I use with the girls since it is way bigger. It is also where my vision came to be. Rory picked everything out for the master bathroom.

Here are some before photos to give you an idea of how dated it was.

This is the view from the door looking in. As you can see, we had linoleum flooring, dated vanities and bath accessories.

On the right side of the photo, you see the wall that was between the shower and the toilet. There was not enough room beside the wall to the toilet and that had to be fixed to be up to standard and code. But we had it tore out as we were moving the shower to where the vanity was.

This shower had a header on top of it that was wasted space and no lighting in the shower. Plus that is a plastic tub that was hard to clean.

And here is a better look at the toilet area. That toilet paper holder was on its last legs as the girls use it to sit down and get up from the toilet.

I hadn't seen the bathroom this empty as I moved in after Rory purchased the house. So it was weird. It echoed a ton and was a bit sad, but I was very happy to see what the future held.

The very next day they demoed the entire bathroom minus some plumbing. This is what we were left with.

That piping is our main plumbing line. This posed a problem and we had to have a plumber come out the next day to access it and give our contractor some options.

And we also had this hole in the ceiling which made it very cold in the house.

About a week after the demo, they did a bunch of the electrical in the bathroom and then moved the plumbing around. They have the new insulation for the attic, so I am assuming that is going in soon and the walls will be dry walled very soon as well.

I can't wait to show you the progress as it happens and you can see my vision come to be.

Have you ever renovated your house or a room in your house?
