My new favorite room in the house is the upstairs bathroom! It was a very busy week with a few late nights, but we finished the bathroom yesterday afternoon. It's a small bathroom, but it took a lot of work! We also ended up doing a little more than what we had originally planned, but we are really happy with how it turned out. It's definitely something that we can live with for awhile. Here's a recap of what we did:
- replaced the broken glass in the window and rebuilt the window frame around the window
And the after!:
It's difficult to take pictures because the room is so small, but it doesn't even look like the same bathroom. I decided to paint the back of the linen closet the same blue as the tub and shower tiles since we couldn't really change that. I think it does a great job of pulling it all together without having an overly blue bathroom. The white shower curtain instead of the glass doors also helps to hide some of the blue. Having the window and removing the door from the linen closet has made the room seem bigger. I haven't unpacked bathroom stuff yet, but hopefully I can keep it all organized in the baskets.... I'll try to take a few more picture later, but I wanted to get something posted since I know that you all have been wondering how it turned out :-)

Wow!! Looks great! We especially like the "new" window and the open shelves. What an improvement! I'm sure it seems bigger now as well. How could anybody cover up a window!?
thanks! i think the window is my favorite part, but maybe that's just because it was also the most difficult part, hehe. i don't know why someone would think it was a good idea to cover up a window... we have two more that are covered up though - one in the kitchen behind the fridge and a small transom window above the backdoor. strange.
You're right- it doesn't look like the same bathroom! Matching the back wall of the linen closet works really well. The window really does make the biggest difference though! Everything looks fantastic :)
oooh I love your open linen closet!! I'm dying to try that in mine but I don't know if I could be that neat:) Thanks for sharing and the inspiration:)
