Phase I: Main floor Bath.a.

Main floor Bathroom:
Access from a doorway off the Dining Room into a small hallway (also leading to the Bedroom annihilated by our Kitchen renovation), and a teeny tiny pocket-door.

The Bathroom, Bedroom, and Library were additions to the original home in the '40's, and the doorway off the Dining Room would have been an exterior door.

Features:
Previous owners had done a lo-end update including vinyl floor tiles (industrial grade), new pedestal sink and lo-flo toilet, as well as tub & surround. We will be salvaging the sink, tub & surround to relieve our budget, and replacing the toilet with a dual flush.

Functioning window (awning opens at top) inside the shower is kinda cool. The lower portion is frosted for privacy. Before use we stripped the old & applied new caulk creating a fresh seal to prevent any leaks into the wall.

Deconstruction:
The pocket-door wall was removed along with the hallway carpet.

Reconstruction:
Doorway off the Dining Room has been filled-in and creating a new door accessible from the new Kitchen. Walls & ceiling primed/painted flat white.


Celebration:
It is amazing how large this Bathroom feels now! We did not expect the difference to be so vast, and expected a small bathroom still, but the space feels open and spacious!
