Bathroom Makeover

We bought our house two years ago. I have a passion for doing home makeovers…and making my husband help!

He just LOVES it 🤣

Our bathroom was cute and everything worked great….BUT…. we were in need of double sinks for our growing family.

There was only one baby in my belly this time even though everyone asked if I was having twins or due in days 🙄 not to mention I was only 6 months in this picture!

Seven months pregnant with our third child and raising 1.5 year old twins I convinced my husband we needed it before the baby came.

Luckily he had a friend/co-worker who was generous enough to help with installation of the tub, vanity, and tile in the shower because I was not planning on helping.

They started with the DEMO 🎉 and I forgot to take before picture but I do have after pictures!!

Then began installation of the new tub which was VERY tight with already being framed in my husband said “that was probably the toughest part”.

Next was the tile walls which resulted in a couple late nights but ended up beautiful!

We then laid the wood grain tile flooring, put up the ship lap, vanity, and trim.

Oh yeah…we also decided it was a great time to plaster the bathroom ourselves too!

It sounds like everything was going smooth with minimal issues but let me tell you it was not all sunshine and rainbows…

—grout was setting too fast…all I heard was Justin (my husband) yelling from the bathroom to put the twins to bed and come help him! As a result I was then 8 months pregnant standing in the tub scrubbing grout off tiles for HOURS!!!!

Not only did I end up with the joys of scrubbing grout but since I did such a great job according to my husband he also convinced me to applying the plaster to the walls . As he stated “You are better at it!”.

I also had the privilege of grouting the tile floor at 8 months pregnant.

Even though I was as big as a bus I wouldn’t have changed doing the project while pregnant. It gave me something to help pass the time while my little coffee bean continued to brew!

Not sure if I mentioned how much I LOVE coffee!! ☕️

Final product…. yay!! I love still love and enjoy the hard work we put in everyday!
