I am so excited to show off the work we’ve done in our master bathroom. We started this project back in February and let me tell you it wasn’t without its own set of challenges. If you’d like to see what this room looked like before the makeover please watch the video below from our YouTube Channel (and take a minute to subscribe if you haven’t already ). Otherwise if you’re all about the “after” pictures please scroll down below.
We also replaced the light fixture and added moulding around the mirror. One day I will write a blog post about changing the light fixture. . .it was probably the most stressful DIY project we have ever done. What was supposed to be an easy replacement ending up involving electrical junction box, drywall screws, drywall, joint compound and so on. It taught us that in an older house (our house was built in the early 80's) you NEVER know what you will find behind the walls.
Mrs. Debbie and her daughter Brooke took me to Home Goods to help accessorize and finish out the room. Those ladies can fill up several Home Goods carts like no one else!
We also replaced the 1980's globe light with a recessed canned light. After taking down the original light we discovered that a roof joist was right next to the junction box of the original light. After telling my Nerd he COULD NOT use the sawzall (My Nerd's favorite tool) to cut the roof joist (HELLO?! It's a ROOF joist for a reason?) we ending up purchasing a 6" Hole Saw and drilling a new hole for the recessed canned light. We patched up the old hole and still have to paint over it.
We also replaced the shower rod and curtain with a 96" long curtain that runs from the ceiling to the floor.
The rug is a square rug purchased from Overstock.com. I was little uneasy about purchasing a large item online but the rug turned out great! It is soft and did not shed a bit!
