Bathroom Renovation: After
Ta-da!Today's the day I show off our wonderful new bathroom! It makes a huge difference from what it was before. The dark wall color, old linoleum, and the low-grade vanity didn't make the bathroom inviting at all. Now the bright new wall color (green!) looks great. The color turned out brighter than we expected, but we're growing to like it a lot. The new title with the dark grout looks bold and very graphic. The contractors added a nice border of shoe molding around the floor, which gives the space a nice finishing touch. We're really pleased with how the bathroom turned out, especially Gabby (see below).

Bathroom Renovation: During
Continuing with my blog posts about our bathroom renovation -- John and I were very lucky to work with contractors who understood the importance that we only had one bathroom. They were nice enough to plan out their work for our convenience. The renovation only took a week, which was much faster than we expected.
In addition to retiling the floor, adding a new vanity and sink, and painting the walls, we wanted to add a GFCI outlet by our sink. We wished we could've salvaged the original floor tile, but we discovered that parts of the floor were cracked and chipped. We choose a new tile that loosely referenced the hexagonal tile that was original to the bathroom.
Stayed tuned until next week when I should the final results!
Bonus! Photos from our trip to IKEA! A sneak preview of the final product:

Bathroom Renovation: Before
When John and I purchased our condo last year we had several household upgrades we eventually wanted to do including several major changes for our only bathroom. Luckily (I guess), our upstairs neighbor left their sink water on, it overflowed, and we had some water damage. Long (insurance) story short, we began our bathroom renovation sooner than we anticipated.
Our condo building was built in 1920 and the bathroom has some of its original features, including some original trim, wooden doors, and windows. Below are several photos I took of the bathroom when we purchased the condo and before we started our remodel. I will share a couple more blogs about the demolition, and of course, a big reveal! I'm very happy to have a transformed bathroom! We hope to retile the shower next year. Enjoy the photos:
