Before and After: Renovated Bath

Though the initial plan was to totally reconfigure our bath, when the numbers came back it was financially unfeasible. So, we did the next best thing and updated everything. We love it.

Main upstairs shower before:

 (chocolate tub! pointless doorknob!)

Main upstairs shower after:

No tub. No doorknob. Amen.

(p.s. Our alternative to super expensive, difficult to clean glass Euro-doors? A ceiling-mounted shower track and custom curtain. Maybe someday we'll go with the doors, but for now, this is great, and about one twentieth of the price.)

Befores and Afters

So, life is CRAZY. And not because I have a lot of extraordinary stuff going on. Just life. I've got a willful, wordy 2.85 year old and a 7 month old with an oral fixation. I've got a husband who commutes, works long hours and travels. I've got a design business I'm trying to run, a house I'm trying to keep somewhat organized and a yard the size of a small park. We're just busy. Living.

Although we're back in Milford, the home renovation "punch list" is far from complete, so I've been hesitant to post photos. But, enough is enough. The punch list may never be complete. Forgive the lack of wall and window decor. 

Here, the new playroom downstairs:

The couch pulls out when Grandma and Papa visit. We are still trying to suss out a "reading corner." And, we need more ikea storage.

Our bedroom upstairs:

The only change here was the floor, but we swapped out bed around too. In need of a good area rug. 

And, the hallway upstairs:

Check out the expansion and fabulously bright light tubes...

To summarize, on the first floor, we converted the office to a playroom/guestroom. We replaced the flooring throughout the upstairs.  We added a bedroom and bathroom on the second floor. We added sky tubes (LOVE). We made Maizey's room larger and redecorated. We completely renovated the existing second floor (now "master" bath). Rooflines changed dramatically. 

Tomorrow, photos of Maizey's room...
