It's the moment you've all been waiting for since I shared a sneak peek of our slate flooring a few weeks ago (well, maybe just my mom has been waiting for it. Hi mom!), the big hall bathroom reveal. Just so you can fully appreciate its awesomeness, here's where we started.
And if you look really closely at the bottom of this picture you can kind of tell that we had a mold issue going on with the flooring near the bathtub. So although we would love to rip out the flooring throughout the entire house eventually, replacing the flooring in this room was pretty much a immediate necessity.
Here's a rundown of what took place in here:
-
a new, taller, dual-flush, high efficiency toilet
-
-
installed a curved shower rod
replaced the old bathroom fan with a new, quieter fan with a light
changed out the old tub spout with a newer one that doesn't leek
replaced the old wooden towel racks, etc. with new chrome ones
cleaned out the aerator in the sink faucet
installed base board
changed out the almond colored switch plates for new white ones
fixed two holes, one in the floor, on in the wall
fixed the drainage line for the tub under the house, so it would drain downhill like it's supposed to, not uphill
I really love this bathroom and fall more in love with our slate flooring every day, but just in case you thought this was a done deal, here's the list of things that this room still needs done:
paint the ceiling
replace the old light fixture over the vanity
put some more things on the walls, I have some different ideas...
paint/replace the door
frame out the bathroom mirror
new sink faucet
