Bathroom Renovation Moodboard
Today is the DAY!!! Everyone participating will be announcing which room they plan to remake. As a Guest Participant, our reveal days will be on Thursdays. We’ll have a total of 8 weeks to finalize our rooms. You can expect a range of projects. Some will just be newly painted walls with furniture updates while others will be full remodel renovations. I’m excited, nervous and eager all wrapped up together.
Right, I should tell you what our project is. We’re renovating our Family Bathroom!!! It’s been a long time coming. We originally planned for another Contractor to remodel the bathroom when we had the Primary Bathroom done. Alas, a small glitch in the plan, Covid-19 hit and things changed. They did however replace the old vinyl window with a beautiful old wood window while they were repairing and painting the exterior of the house. In the process we asked them to remove the faux marble shower surround and paneled wainscoting. Little did we know, that seemly simple task would turned the bathroom completely unusable (somehow unusable bathrooms have become our thing at this house). They dismantled the shower, removed half of the pedestal sink and left the walls open to the studs. It was a blessing and a curse, really. Previously I thought there was Sheetrock under the panels but wrong I was. We planned to complete the project soon after but again a global pandemic has stayed longer than welcome. We didn’t really want to invite a bunch of Subs into the house at the time. As you all know, things aren’t back to normal but we decided, for our own sanity, to move forward with the project. And here we are. The deadline is set thanks to One Room Challenge.
Let’s talk design. My favorite part. I’ve been planning this remodel literally for years. When we purchased the house, we knew we wanted to take on projects to make the house our home. Slow and steady has been our unknowing motto. A few years back I fell in love with a vanity. It was in the medium range price point but as many of you know, renovating your own house means checking those dollar signs. I waited for a sale and then the next sale and finally decided to get it. It’s been sitting in our dining room for 2 ½ years, patiently waiting for it’s debut. Thankfully, I try not to go for the most trendy options. More of the focus is what feels right for the home. Don’t get me wrong, fads are real and I’m still drawn to the latest and greatest. When working in an old house like ours be sure to pull in some fun new items while mixing in classics. It doesn’t have to look old, just something that you can’t completely put a date on it. Like, oh that’s so 2010. That way your space will age gracefully. Your pocket book with thank you in the years to come when you don’t have to redo a dated room. Also, for the love of everything, please keep as much original character as possible in your home. If you don’t have character, go ahead and add some. Future generations will thank you too.
So here we are. Many decisions still left to be made. I hope you’re here for them because I have a few ‘this or that’ selections you can help with in the upcoming weeks. Today on the ‘gram I uploaded our bathroom moodboard. Final colors are subject to change. The overall feeling is here to stay.
Yours truly,
