Yay! and Nooooo!! The Vanity, the tub, & MAJOR CRISIS!!

April 21, 2017 · In: Bathroom, Before and After, Interior Design


IMG_9165-1.jpg

Bathroom Remodel
From a distance it all looks like its coming together perfectly.  The vanity is in.  The TUB is in!!!  Yay!!!  And everything fits!!  Double yay!!  I was extremely anxious about those two things fitting and have measured at least eight times.  You sweat these details when each piece costs over $2,000.  It’s a HUGE investment.  Do I think it will pay off?  Absolutely… if it actually FITS!  Whew!  Crisis averted!

But then… MAJOR CRISIS!!

Waaahhh!  The vanity is IN… Literally.  IN.  THE. WALL.  Noooo!!  And of course all of the measurements for the pipes and lighting are based on this piece so everything has to be redone.

Then there is the tile on the shower.  It’s vertical and looks like a throwback to the 70’s which I would normally be in to, except somehow it makes me think of carpet in the bathroom and it’s a little too funky weird for my “english countryside” theme.

And of course my husband is out of town, so who has to talk to the contractor?  Me.  Have I mentioned that I hate conflict?  I actually thought about leaving both just to avoid the awkward conversation with my contractor… but my husband was adamant about having it fixed.  Triple gulp… wish me luck! (And don’t forget to check out the video below!)

Would you fix these issues or leave them?

GOOD NEWS: The tub is in and there is room for the vanity!!

    I would have the shower threshold tiles redone to follow the pattern in the shower. And, I would have the vanity centered to the wall too.

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
