Bathroom Project: Post #2

Posted on Jul 24, 2011 at 8:06 PM in House, Remodel

Tub removal and demolition during which I felt not an ounce of sentimentality. Out with the old, in with the new!

The tub was kinda heavy. Can you tell by the faces below?

The shot below reveals demo of the wall where the new tub/shower will be located. You can now see through the bathroom and into the stairs that lead to the attic. Apparently we keep a spare door in the attic stairwell. (Check out the red faucet knobs—still there!)

This corner is now empty, but the mega-ugly vanity and medicine cabinet were here earlier. You can also see the very large, very dark and creepy wallpaper-covered closet in the back.

I can forgive all the ugliness and even overlook the demolition mess in this last photo because of the light. Bless me, the light. Our home has windows on every single side and this bathroom is treated to light from the south and the west. My soul is absolutely nourished by streams of sunlight through these old windows. Happy sigh.

    Oh my goodness. The demo is always the hardest part of any job for me. The mess really “gets” to me. :)

    We giggled at those boys…is that Landon???? with the hat? I love the fun looks on all of their faces. This is funny how thrilling it is to see your bathroom process. Deep desire to see that space “glorified”:)
