Before and After Bathroom: Beauty, where there should have been ashes Pt. 3

This was the only bathroom in the house.  

I just want to take this moment to mention:  There was a woman living in this house.  There was, apparently, no heat and you can see the condition it was in.  She was a hoarder, with paths for her to move around.  I feel for this woman.   I hear she was very nice, and she had beautiful flowers that she cared for, but obviously she was very ill.  

I thought of her a lot while we worked on this house, especially when I would work in the yard.  

She died here, but I like to think she would love how the house looks today.  Her name was Phyllis.

THE bathroom.  

[Insert horror movie music here]

So this is how we found the bathroom, covered in filth.  From the bathroom door:  

1. water heater closet  

2. toilet

3. sinking sink  

4. tub/shower (love the towel rack under the window)

Do you love the foil rose wallpaper?  

There was a bit of discussion as to whether or not we should try and re-use the tub.  We chose against.  Good thing to because there was a squirrel carcass found underneath it.  

See all that newspaper that served for a bathroom rug?  

I'm not sure what all the filth consisted of, I am sure I don't want to find out.

  I have never liked the toilet first layout (where the toilet is closest to door)...so we changed it.

Already that bathroom looked better!!

(Good job Josh!)

AFTER!!!!

What an improvement!!!  The vanity was made from a dresser I found at a garage sale for $10.00.  The window is higher for more privacy, the tile...off the shelf from a home improvement store!

I should have more pictures, but don't...so sorry!!!  You get the idea though, looks better, definitely SMELLS better and functions wonderfully.

So that's the bathroom!!  We also put another bathroom off of the master, but it wasn't reno'd just added.
