The renovations have begun.

I've decided to show you real before pictures. I took the photos as the bathroom was. I didn't put away the bottles of shampoos and lotions and things. I really wanted to show the transformation to a space that made us cringe to hopefully a peaceful space with an actual working bath tub! You can see here we kind of gave up on this bathroom a while ago. The windows were replaced a few years back but we never did replace the window coverings. Yes, those are sheets that we used as curtains tacked to the wall. It can only get better!

Gone is the vanity and tub. Not a thing left. The bathroom is totally gutted.

I will not miss the purple on the walls. It seemed fine at the time when I painted it years ago but once we repainted our master bedroom it clashed. I had really lost any enthusiasm to repaint while things were breaking and we knew repairs and renovations were in the future.
There goes the shower. (good riddance!)

...and it looks promising. Some expected water damage (but no mold which is great) and a weird pipe thingie (yes, that is the correct term) in the wrong spot that needs to be relocated. A new subfloor needs to go in but best to start the work correctly.
