Bathroom...

Once upon a time I was taking a bath. My foot was resting on the tile by the faucet and next thing I knew... my foot fell through the wall. Ah crap... this can't be good, and it wasn't. Hubby tore out all the tile in the shower to find that whoever built this place didn't use the special water proof sheet rock behind the shower, they just used regular old sheet rock. So all of the sheet rock in our shower was water damaged and moldy. So gross. So we tore all of it out and this is how our bathroom has looked for the past 8 months...

Well sort of... I didn't get a picture before we put the new tub in. So this is the new tub and the new piping that we had to have welded together... so that's a start! Next up we have to sheet rock in the shower (the sheet rock has been on my living room floor for the past two weeks). I just hope that it's up by Christmas.

Don't worry... we are fortunate enough to have a second bathroom so we have been taking our sweet time at getting this one done. I know that sometimes we all just try to show our homes in their best light. But this is my reality. And we are working on a budget so we will get it done slowly, piece by piece. I think though that since it has to be redone I'm going to have some fun with it. I really love the look of subway tiles like this shower from Door Sixteen...


Anyone seen any great bathrooms lately? I need a little inspiration...
