The Bathroom Reno Saga: Prequel (The Before Pictures)

Tomorrow our bathroom renovations are starting! If all goes well, we should have a new floor, tub, shower surround (tiled), vanity, shower hardware, sink and facet by Wednesday. This is the most significant work we've had done to our 19 year old house in the six years we've lived here.

Basically the following are the facts about our (only) bathroom:

1) It is ugly (this, we hope, will change),

2) It is small (yes, this will not change),

3) There is water inside the wall behind the tub (and maybe mould),

4) The shower/tub leaks down to the basement,

5) The sink leaks into the vanity,

6) We like the paint colour (we painted it about four years ago- it now needs to be re-painted), and

7) We deserve a better bathroom.

So, between 8 and 8:30 tomorrow they will start dismantling our bathroom, Version 1. Here's a shot of what it looks like today (with some things already removed to get ready.

Here's the floor (its actually much whiter than the flash made it look).

Here's the facet.

Here are the shower and the tiles.

Stay tuned- its going to be an expensive week!
