Guest Bathroom Remodel

Easily one of the most hideous rooms in our house when we moved in was the guest bathroom.  It’s considered a full bath, but is very small (about 5’ x 8’) and was originally painted a dark tan with brown vinyl tile on the floor, making the room seem even smaller.  Even when it was repainted white, the room felt dark and cramped as the vanity (which was also really ugly) took up a lot of space too.  Therefore, we decided to gut the entire room (except for the tub) and start over with new floor tile, tub surround tile, a pedestal sink, new toilet, and even a skylight (most of which Maria gets credit for).  Anyways, 6 weeks and countless dollars later, we have a guest bathroom that is easily the best room in the house, which is somewhat unfortunate as now we have to out-do ourselves in every other room!

Love that attractive vinyl floor tile!
The vanity definitely leaves something to be desired!
Let the demolition begin! (All of the drywall behind the sink and around the tub had to be replaced, along with part of the ceiling near the new skylight...fun!)

Let there be light!
