Bathrooms

We're excited to be moving forward with our plans right now. Only four days to go and the place is ours!
I thought this would be a good time to show you the plans for the two bathrooms in the house.   The bathrooms are in bad shape.  Really bad shape.  There is a family bathroom upstairs and a powder room on the main.  The upstairs bath currently looks like this:

Dreamy, no?

The foot print goes something like this:

  You might notice from the photo that it is actually difficult to get through the door.  And that while you are sitting on the toilet, you can probably also wash your hands... saving valuable time.   Now that's multi-tasking.

The tub is also short.  

I don't even need to mention the peeling tiles, water damage on the ceiling, heinous linoleum flooring or rusted out tub.  

Here's what we're thinking:  

    We're scooping some space from the bedroom beside the bathroom and the hallway linen closet.  The linen closet is a built-in job that is pretty cool looking but we think this is the best way to maximize the space.  Since this is the only upstairs bath, we feel we need to dress it up as much as possible.  That means a soaker clawfoot tub, glass enclosed shower and lots of beautiful tile.  The tile we are using is a honed marble and we are still on the hunt for the rest of the fixtures in the room.

I've also created a mood board for the space:

Most of the products are from Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware but the rug is Dash and Albert.

The Blissful Bathroom at Rambling Renovators (one of my absolute favourite local-ish blogs)

Well, the house is nearly ours and I can't wait to get my hands on it.  Tomorrow, I am shopping with Aron and Tracey for fixtures for the powder room, main bathroom, laundry room and kitchen.  I'll post some pictures from this exciting field trip. 

Until then,
