I think today I’ll do a bathroom tour. Our house has five, FIVE, bathrooms. And before you go thinking how luxurious my life must be, I have to remind you that all FIVE bathrooms need to be
cleaned. That’s 7 sinks, 5 toilets, 3
tubs, 4 showers, and all that tile flooring with the associated GROUT that my children have free rein to pee in, on, and around, as well as dropping and spitting toothpaste, mouthwash, boogers, and other worse things. I despise cleaning tile flooring. That is, I despise cleaning grout. But only slightly less, I detest scrubbing bathtubs and
showers. Toilets I don’t mind. I know that seems weird. But it’s the grout, the mildew in the corners
of the grout, the unreachable spots in the tubs and showers that give me fits. But enough about this sordid aspect of the
topic. Suffice it to say that cleaning five bathrooms blows. Now...let’s move on to the
transformations!
Bathroom 1: I’ll
start with the basement bath because it was so shockingly horrible before, and
so lovely now. We nick-named it “The
StarTrek bathroom” when we bought the house because of the weird rounded shower
enclosure and nooks. It reminded us of
something from the original 1960’s Star Trek TV show set.
But we tore out every speck of that
bathroom. It has now made a successful leap
into the 21st century. And I give Big Daddy full credit for this
one. He picked out everything himself,
from the tiles to the layout to the furnishings. He wanted a spa feel since this is the guest
bath, being closest to the guest bathroom.
And it turned out absolutely stunning, I think.
Here, for dramatic effect, is the before and after shot...
