Bathroom Addition: Demo

Posted: March 22nd, 2010 | Author: ab | Tags: , , , ,

This morning, Mad’s room looked like this:

and now it looks like this:

and our guest/TV room looked like this (with all the furniture removed, please ignore the purple walls that are going away ASAP):

and now it looks like this:

…and that big hole was once two adjacent closets — one in the guest room, and one in Madeleine’s room — that will soon be a second bathroom. One we’ve been waiting for and wanting for a long, long time. Ever since Sars came to visit and our one bathroom flooded. Over the weekend. On a Sunday. PS. It’s Sars’s birthday today. Happy birthday, Sars! We got you a new bathroom.

I’ll keep you updated on the progress as it happens. Our contractor has told us it should take 3 to 4 weeks but things are moving so fast I think it will be done sooner. I may or may not be able to show you after pictures, depending on whether a) I’ve died from the stress of half our belongings being in the dining room or b) I fall into a hole or c) contractual obligations. What the hell am I talking about? I’ll tell you later.

Yay!

    You see, this makes me feel better about starting our bathroom reno on Thursday! I’m hoping ours goes as smoothly as yours is.

    Miss AB, does your lovely daughter keep her room that tidy or do you tidy up before taking photos? I am super impressed if that’s the way she keeps it. Wonder kid.

    Looking forward to the results!

    Heh. Jott, Sars rhymes with “scares.”

    Can’t wait to see the finished photos! And learn what your secret is… I’m thinking your beautiful home is going to be featured in a major magazine. Blink once for yes, twice for no.

    Woo hoo! I am in the middle of my bathroom redo, too. I bought about 1,000 fewer tiles than I needed because I used inches instead of feet in my measurements. Of course, Lowe’s is sold out of the tile I bought. I can’t wait to see how yours turns out… and then copy you.

    Wait. I don’t understand this. Is your daughter getting a bathroom? Is she losing her closet? Is she going to be OK? I hope she’s feeling better. Where did that purple room come from? I thought everything was white … I’m confused and might be on the wrong site.

    I’m just happy to not be the only Sars in the world.
