This post is a long time coming and I actually plan to let the picture do most of the 'talking'. Our bathroom has been finished for almost a year (
oops) and I'm just now getting around to posting it. #sorrynotsorry
Life gets busy.
I will, however, start by saying the master bath before our reno was small, closed off, had a funky, musty 'old' smell, and was just plain...well, GROSS. That said, we were extra happy to get our hands on it and open it up us much as we could without moving walls and make it more modern/functional.
A few notes:
-We chose to do a single vanity because a double sink would have just been WAY too tight and would have been a misuse of space.
-We will eventually add a storage ccabinet over the toilet that matches the vanity.
-We have another bathroom that we were able to use during this reno, so yes, we were clean (or partially clean) throughout the process ;)

WHEW!
Hope you enjoyed the tour as much as we enjoyed going back and looking at the progress that was made. We love our new bathroom, but it did take a lot of work. HUGE shout out to mu handy husband for the countless hours of work he has put in our house so far making it a home.
Stay tuned for more reno updates: laundry room happening now (as you read this!) and entry way almost complete (just lacking wallpaper and furniture)!
Be kind and love your neighbor, especially if they are renovating ;)
xoxo
