The Great Bathroom Makeover - Week 1

A week ago Danny started on our master bathroom makeover. We have hated our master bath since we moved into this house almost a year ago but it was totally functional so we decided to live with it until we had all the money saved to do a complete renovation.

The master bath was a horrible blue color with yellow accent tiles. It was also the only bathroom accessible from the hall way so it is the bathroom that would get used when people came over to hang out (the other bathroom is a jack and jill between 2 of the guest rooms). It also had a really bad layout with an extra little vanity area as you walked towards our bedroom whose door would hit the door to Danny's closet and was really just wasted space for us.

We decided to turn our current master bathroom into two bathrooms. There will be a half bath off the hallway and then the master bath that is accessible through our bedroom.

I am so impressed by all the progress Danny has been able to make in the past week with the help of his dad and our friend Jon. It may still look like a mess to most people but once the plumber and electrician come tomorrow it should all start coming together since we will be able to get the sheet rock up and the floors laid! Then we will be in the home stretch of painting, putting in fixtures, molding and baseboards and then all the decorative touches!
I have really high hopes that the bathroom will be completely done in the next few weeks!
Here are some pictures of the progress so far.

Hopefully next week I will have some pictures where you can tell that it really is going to be a bathroom!
