Weekend Warriors - Laundry Room & Downstairs Bathroom Reveal!

Weekend Warriors

The bathroom/laundry room section of the main floor was one of those areas where we looked at what had been there previously, and then did it completely differently, lol! The previous owners had a full bath (sort of) which we shrunk to a half bath. So, we moved the wall over a little bit, and put the laundry room in what had been a tiny, tiny office/hallway - I know, it's hard to understand - I saw it and I still don't understand it!

I have kicked myself over and over for not taking good before pics of this area, so the best I can do is "during" shots:

Note the lovely jungle green walls complementing the foam-carving rock work - for the feeling of bathing out in the wild.

Rather than install a pre-made tub, they had constructed the shape of a tub out of plywood and covered it with a thick plastic material to serve as the tub. The thing was solid as a rock, but not exactly water-tight, so the floor underneath it was rotted away.

The wall on the right with the hole in it is the one we moved slightly to make room for the laundry room. My mother in law (who is partially visible through the hole) is standing it what is now the laundry room.

Our toilet now sits beneath the window that was above their bathtub/cave.

Since we opted for a half bath on the main floor, just the pedestal sink, no tub or shower :)

Smaller bathroom meant we could have laundry on the main floor which is such a HUGE blessing! I love it!

There you have it! Another small slice of our home! Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!

  3. WOW! An enormous amount of work, but SO worth the results! Love your little half bath! Great color and 100% better than jungle green. ;)

    We're still putting the finishing touches on our addition and I REFUSE to let anyone move anything into it until it's completely done. We made that mistake on the initial renovation of the main house . . . we're hoping to be in soon.

    Enjoy your new space!

  4. I've been following your blog for a bit now and thought I would finally leave a comment! Just wanted to say that your renovations look great! My husband and I are apartment dwellers for the next few years but really hope to buy a house and do some renovating of our own!
