The Not So Simple Mama: October 2015

Originally we had planned to hold off on remodeling the bathrooms until after the holidays as we have tackled several projects this year. Then we discovered a leak in the wall behind the vanity which forced us into a bathroom remodel. At first we were just going to remodel the vanity area but after seeing it finished we are so in love with it that within the next couple of weeks we are going to replace the shower tile and refinish the bathtub.

Below is a before and after from when I painted the walls in a blue / grey color and the cabinets in espresso. This was a temporary fix until we could afford to fully remodel the space.

We decided to keep the espresso color when we ordered the new cabinetry. The hubs designed the cabinet with a trash can pull out and more drawer space. The medicine cabinet I saw on Pinterest and asked him to copy it.

The countertop is a granite called Café Crème and the backsplash tile along with sink, faucet and light fixture all came from Lowes. I love the way it looks far and am so excited to get the shower done. The backsplash tile will extend through the shower along with some beautiful tumbled travertine tile.
