Bathroom Details

Before moving in, it is important that the bathroom be fully ready to go. This way we can get ready for work in the mornings. Here are all of the finishing details that have been patiently waiting to go into our wonderful little bathroom.

You may be wondering what is going on in this picture... Well, before you attach your toilet paper hanger permanently, it is a good idea to test it out at that level. Nothing gross here but we actually taped it to the wall and took turns doing the reach test to get the location right. If your toilet paper is too hard to get to, that can be a problem for obvious reasons. Moving on...


Here I am installing a curved shower curtain rod. This will give a little more elbow room than a normal rod. Always make sure your shower curtain rod is level!


Next to the toilet paper hanger is the double towel rack. There is very little space between the back wall and the shower so the double rod is crucial to make sure that we can hang all of our towels.


These are the new door hooks. Picture some bath robes hanging out here.


The hand towel hanger...


New shower head...


Here are some glass shelves that we added above the toilet. This will help with our storage issues. And they work nicely with the glass tiles...


This mirror/medicine cabinet was actually a wall mounted cabinet, but I modified it with my jig saw and made it slide into the wall. This way it does not stick out so far off the wall. Now there is a nice deep storage area behind the mirror.


This faucet is nice because the neck swivels. This will be great when we are trying to clean the sink or share the counter while getting ready and brushing our teeth and all of that fun stuff.


We took out the old pedistal sink and added this nice cabinet and sink top. Now we have plenty of storage under the sink. So we bascally went from two shelves before to a sink cabinet, three wall shelves, and a deep medicine cabinet. This will hopefully really help meet our storage needs. Anything alse can be stock piled in the new hallway cabinet (To be posted on later).

*Disclaimer: This picture is a bit out of focus. I took it, not Laura. So if you are thinking of hiring her to take pictures have no fear.


Here is how it looks with the shower curtain and the towels all working together with the colors of the tiles. We hope you like it.

Stay tuned this week. We are moving in over the next couple days and I am going to be posting some of the projects and things that have been happening these last few weeks since we have kicked it into overdrive.
