Bathroom Remodel....with our bare hands.

As we approach our house being paid for soon Payton and I decided to start remodeling one room at a time.  Our bathroom was our first major project as we had some roof leaks earlier this year that caused some damage in our bathroom.  We got a new roof earlier this year so we knew we could spend the money inside the house now. 

What started out as what I thought would be a minor remodel turned in to so much more. LOL. This was my bathroom before we got started with the remodel.

Shower Area

Garden Tub area

Vanity Area

And the remodel began....with some major demo.... We decided the night before to completely gut it and start over. Figured if we were going to be here forever we might as well do things right and start fresh.

This is where the shower used to be..... just a hole now! LOL

And this is where the garden tub used to be.

And where the vanity used to be.....

It took exactly two weeks and more money than I care to mention (things are so expensive now).  We did search and look for the BEST deals on everything that we bought.  Payton, myself, Blake, Baleigh and Jonathan did every bit of the work with some help from Payton's brother Brian and a friend of his names Shawn.  I am so proud of Payton and the things that he learned.  Neither of us had ever laid one tile let alone all that we did lay in this bathroom.  It was hard to get used to doing but once we figured it out it was kind of like working a puzzle with very large pieces.  

So here is the FINISHED project minus a few decorations cause I have not found any pictures that I like so far to hang on the walls.

This is the new tub and shower combo with tile that we picked and laid ourselves. 

I decided that I wanted Wayne's coating along the bottom part of the wall, that is painted white.  The top part of the wall is a guacamole color. Very pretty... I love the color.  

The new vanity area.  

Payton and I found this awesome table the other night at World Market (one of my favorite stores). Just need something to put it in the basket..... just have not found the right thing yet!

And my new HUGE closet.  This is where the shower used to be. It is such great storage that I am not used to.  I don't know what to do with all the space.

So, I am very much enjoying my new space in the house.  The other day I took a shower and a bath in one day just because I love being in that room.  I am very proud of the work we did.  My husband is awesome!!! Stay tuned for our next big remodel project.
