The Girl's Bathroom Remodel

It was very slow...but the girl's bathroom remodel is now complete!!!!! Just in time to give birth to baby on Friday. Better late then never. Below are a bunch of before and after pictures...for the most part I tried to take pictures at the same angle so you could compare.

The project wasn't without hitches, as is to be expected...but we survived and we're pleased with the outcome. As always, Brad did a great job and deserves his upcoming "vacation"...it will be more of a vacation from moonlighting in the bathroom then anything else!

A before of the first portion of the bathroom (set up a little like a hotel bathroom) vanity:
After...we moved the ceiling flood lights to a wall mounted fixture, ripped out all the flooring and put in new vanities.
Another shot of the first section of the bathroom from the hall entry way...that is a linen closet door on the right.
Standing in front of the linen closet door looking past the first vanity and into the second portion of the bathroom with the tub and toilet.
During...we ripped down the wallpaper, re-drywalled in areas, changed out light fixtures and tore out all the tile.
The after...the original vanities were a mocha color but ended up not fitting correctly so we had to switch to these white vanities. They have grown on me though and I really like them...especially with the bronzed hardware we used throughout.
Another view looking a little more to the left when you're in front of the linen closet. We used our previous "doggy" theme stuff...I kinda wanted a change but to save time and money we're sticking with this for now.
Standing in front of the window looking at the bathroom from the other direction (tub is to my right).
Same shot during the project with vanities ripped out, new drywall and electrical.
After...
Same vanity as above just a closer shot...
The tub before...this is probably one of the biggest changes. We ripped it out completely and put in a new white tub that we (Brad did the work and I did the design) tiled up to the ceiling and gave it a built in look.
During...working on some of the plumbing.
The beginning of the tile design...
The after...this wasn't an easy project and it was really Brad's biggest tiling project to take on at this point (he has done more sq. footage in floors but nothing like the shower walls).
Shower from another angle...I always prefer these type of shower heads with kids...especially girls since it makes it so much easier to pull the shower head down and rinse their hair.

We're both looking forward to the baby's arrival so we can relax a little. I know that sounds funny or backwards but I also know that he has 10 days off and we'll have my mom in town to lend a hand and odds are we'll spend a lot more time in the evenings just sitting around with the baby relaxing and no longer chained to the bathroom project.

So two bathrooms down...master bath to go. I think we'll wait a few months, or years!

That tile is super impressive. I can't believe you are having your baby on Friday!! Let me know how four is... Adam's pretty sure three is our limit though. Maybe if you have a boy, we'll go for a girl. ;)
