Bathroom Renovations

Keith and I have lived in our house for 25 years.  We love our home.  Many people have moved to bigger, more expensive homes in more affluent neighbourhoods, but we have always loved where we live.  Over the years, things have changed in every room of the house.  And now 25 years and 2 children later, we are starting that process again.  We've had to put on a new roof, new siding, update flooring, and finally this year we did some renos to our upstairs main bath.  There's only so much you can do in a small home that only has one full bath, so we did what we could.  We love it so much and were so thankful for the help we received.  Up until this point, we have not ever really splurged on anything in our home, so this bathroom deserved some pizzaz. (Little did I know what was going to happen in September that would rock our world!!!) 

Someone asked me recently to post about my bathroom renovations.  They were wondering where I got my fixtures, who did the work etc.

So here goes.  I'll post some of the before pics first, and then mid reno and then the renovated pics. 

We had an old tub that had lost most of it's enamel on the bottom (if you don't mind a filed off bottom each time you tried to bath, this was the tub for you!!), a cheap vanity, and walls that badly needed sanding and painting.

Since Keith isn't able to do this kind of work any more, we asked KP Projects in Steinbach to come and help us out.  They ripped out the tub and tub surround, installed the new plumbing, drywalled the walls, and added the little shelf in the wall.  They also installed our beautiful glass door when the rest was all finished.

Then came the tiles.  We were so grateful for Ivan Pavliy and his crew from PI Finishings.  They do amazing work.

When we removed the mirror, we discovered a hole where a medicine cabinet once resided, so we decided to leave a time capsule for the next owners whenever they decide to renovate the bathroom.

 

We left a family picture, candy, a card and one of my piano studio bookmarks and covered it back up with a big mirror..

We got a new vanity (Wayfair), vinyl flooring (Costco) (which we ran up the wall behind the toilet, sink and mirror), new faucets/shower head (PlumbingOnline.ca),  tub (Home Depot), tile,(AMES Tile & Stone) and a new bathmat and towels (Giant Tiger - we splurged! LOL).  The light fixture we kept from before and the industrial towel rack Keith made from pipe parts from EG Penner and wood from one of his family's graineries back in SK. He also made a door stop from the same pipe material. The hand towel rack and toilet paper holder came from Amazon. I love that when you order fixtures, if you order it from different places, but stick with the same Brand (we have Delta) if you order all the same colour - Venetian Bronze - they all are the same no matter where you order it.

So, needless to say we love our bathroom!!! 


Granted. . . . had we known then (when we put our bathroom in) what we know now, we likely wouldn't have spent the money.

BUT. . . . I have to believe. . . . GOD IS IN CONTROL. . . . and He knew what was going to go down after we put the bathroom in. 

Never have I been hanging on to the fact that God knows.  And God will PROVIDE!!!!
