Remodeling the Bathroom


Well, it seems so hard to believe, but it is nearly April!  In just thirty days, I will be married! 
 
Since time seems to be flying now, Dan and I have been working very hard on the house.  When we originally filled the radiators with water, we found that the bathroom radiator pipes were completely busted.  So when Dan's father came up to visit a month or so ago, the two of them fixed those pipes.  They re-piped the entire bathroom and remodeled it. 
 
When we first bought the place, the bathroom was set up very strangely.  It was almost awkward to walk into.  But since Dan and his father re-did all of the pipes, it is so nice now! 
 
Here are a few pictures. 
We painted the walls a cheery, china blue color.  I really like it. 
We also rearranged the tub.  Now it is straight ahead when you walk in, instead of to the right.  



 
Dan worked very hard to re-pipe the bathtub.  We had to buy a plumbing system for clawfoot tubs.  He was working on putting that on in this picture.  


 
When Dan's dad was here, he built this vanity for us.  I love it.  The white brightens up the bathroom.  



Together, they made a large shelf we can put towels on.  Part of it will eventually have doors, but those haven't been finished yet. 
 


 
 
 
Dan was working on the shower curtain holder.  It was kind of hard to put up.  I helped a little bit.
 

 
Except for small detail work, like cabinet doors and drawers, the bathroom is finished! 
 
The kitchen ceiling and walls will be my next post, since we are nearly finished with those.  :)
Until next time!

I hope you keep blogging the house -- it looks like it will be beautiful when you get it finished! Best wishes on your marriage to come!

The bathroom looks great. The claw tub gives it an old style feel against the hard wood floors. The white vanity and shelves are a nice touch as well, and will make it feel bright and airy. Would look great decorated with antique mirrors on the wall, or old style pictures. Good luck on your finishing touches and home renovations.
