Master Bedroom & Bath Renovation~ The Before

I hinted around in the weekly newsletter and also on Facebook that we are preparing for a major remodel in our home this year.  Well, it is here and I couldn't be more excited to say these words, it's #demoday!  I feel like this is a project that's been in the works for 12 years!  Have you ever waited that long for a house project?  It's literally been 12 years of waiting patiently to get this project underway.  It seemed like every time we talked about tackling a home renovation, we would come up with something that needed to be done more than this one.  After the basement, kitchen, back yard, patio, painting the house, landscaping, a new driveway, a new roof and lots of small projects, we are FINALLY getting to the project that I probably have looked forward to the most ~ a new Master Bath and Bedroom Suite!

Our house was 80's through and through when we purchased it.  Carpet in the bathroom?  Not sure that was ever a good move, but that's what we have.  Lights like a runway, huge jacuzzi tub, tiny tiny shower, and a vanity which is only the height of my knees~ Yep, yep, and yep.  

Can't say I'm going to miss any of you 80's glam!

Now I know you are dying to see the before since I told you how pretty it all was.  So, without further ado, here is an 80's bathroom that will make you remember your roller skating years.  

Oooo, and clearly I did not do any cleaning up for y'all!

One lovely aspect that you cannot see is the openness to the bedroom.  The wall doesn't go all the way up, so you get lots of light that's streaming into the bedroom when hubby is up at 5:30 am. 

Oooo and that toilet position!  Perfect for watching yourself in the mirror.  🙂

Ok, so what's the game plan…. well, for now, it's get rid of every single thing you can and then put it back together a whole lot better!

 Here is the team hard at work blowing out a wall and tearing it up.  Fun stuff.

Next week, I'll share with you all the pretties behind the design and what I'm thinking about tile, fixtures, and all the good stuff.

It looks better already!

Update: It's Done!  Come see the FULL REVEAl.

To life feeling like home!
