Master Bath Reveal

ITS THAT TIME! We are finally showing off the completed master bathroom transformation. I say this because I feel like it truly was a transformation. It is NOTHING like it used to be and almost everything is brand new. We have been living with it for a few months now and I am OBSESSED and we are so proud of our hard work. We love to show it off when we have friends and family come to visit and I have had a few comments of "shower of dreams". UGH! I love hearing that because it really is for me.

Before
I HATED this old space. I refused to even use it. It was so cramped, you couldn't even get dressed or dry your hair in there. And I HATED the carpet. The main reason why I refused to use that space. So so gross.

After

Its hard to believe that the entire bath used to fit in the toilet room and shower space area. I love the extra space we now have.
I cannot express how much I love our bathroom or which is my favorite part, as it kind of all is. The bathroom is so functional for our needs. I love having a double sink. I love that I don't have to take turns rinsing after brushing. I still have to remind myself I do not need to time when I start brush vs. when he starts brushing. I used to do this to try and coordinate ourselves with sink times so neither of us are standing with a mouth full of tooth paste. I love the separate toilet room so the bathroom is still usable when the other is needing the facilities. I love our extra large shower. I love that there is a bench in there and I have some where to prop up my foot while shaving and I love the niches that perfectly store our shower products. I love the tile and paint colours and the bathroom is still very light and there is no lighting is seeing issues.
I just love the bathroom and it was worth all the head aches and mental breakdowns.

Master Suite Progress

Slowly but surly the master suite started to look like a livable space. It took up from February to June to be at the point for drywall to hang. The drywall and ceiling took I believe 2 weeks to completion and as soon as it was done I was painting. We started by moving out of our bedroom to one of the guest bedrooms, this room could only fit our bed which we had to skootch by the end of the bed and wall to access the closet. The dresser and my makeup station was in the other guest bedroom. We lived there for 5 months. When it was time for drywall we moved our bedroom to the main level, in the back living room where the fireplace was located. This was alright as we could fit all furniture in the room, and having the sliding back door open at night was nice to help cool us off in the hot summer nights. I did miss sleeping on our bed frame. When we moved down stairs we didn't bother setting up the bed as it was temporary. We slept there for another 2 months. ...

About Us

Before I divulge into our home buying process I thought I would give you a quick blurb about us and our background. Incase you did not know. Which most of you do.... I work as an administrative assistant in health care. This job is great for my need to want to help others and allows me to be super OCD, organized, and at times bossy, however lacks creativity. I remember always loving interior design. As a child, like 8 years old or something one of my favorite TV channels were HGTV. I loved watching TLC's Trading Spaces, House to Home, and Debbie Travis' Facelift. I remember writing to interior design and host House to Home telling her how much I loved her show and how I wanted to be an interior designer just like her. Which is still true. I feel like I am a very practical/logistical person. If being and interior designer was a guaranteed good earning job I would be all over that. Along with being terrible at math is a bit of a set back as you need the highest high scho...

Master Bedroom Drama

We were very fortunate to have very minor issues during the first phase of our renovation. You hearing many horror stories of things going wrong and money hemorrhaging that I'm happy that things went smoothly. Not to say we didn't have our fair share of anxiety (me), fighting and minor set backs. First minor issue was, as expected the master front window was rotting. We knew something was wrong as the previously existing drywall had a poorly patched crack from floor to ceiling and as we tore out the carpet the subfloor was discoloured. My father in-law removed the rotten wood and stucco backing, and cut away any other surrounding soft wood. He then cleaned the area with bleach and water mixture and allowed it to dry. He replaced the missing studs with new 2x4s and reinforced other areas with more cuts for strength. We replaced all the original poly with thicker newer product and cut away excess insulation. Our home is a 2x4 frame so we hoped the thicker poly would help the h...
