Starting the Bathroom Remodel

We decided to tackle our larger bathroom that was in serious need of an update.  It had gross white tile and ancient sliding shower doors in the tub.  The counter and floors were cute, for the 50's, but it's time for a change!  Plus, I HATE that toilet!  It is the kind where the seat is not even a complete circle.  It had a gap like a public one.   Here it is before:

Searching around the internet I found this image as my favorite as inspiration:

We were expecting to see crazy amounts of mold and water damage in the shower area.  The tiles in the shower were broken and cracked in lots of areas and the faucet had been leaking into the wall.  There definitely was some mold but way less than we expected.  We of course were as careful as possible removing it all.  The only thing we plan on keeping is the tub, and that's not a promise either.  Here it is in the first demo stage:

Slider Installed

February 28th our slider was installed.  American Vision Windows is who we used and they did a great job.  It took them less than two hours and it looks amazing!  Poor Buffy can't sunbathe anymore now that it is so well insulated.  ;)
