Remember that guest bathroom in our house that we renovated in just one week?! Our master bathroom was sort of the opposite of that experience. We gutted it way back in December and then winter illnesses happened, and Disney happened, and Malibu happened, and lots of other stuff happened...
On a side note, our Facebook friends loved this picture.
So anyway, we gutted the bathroom.
Then we started the very slow process of putting it back together, plumbing and flooring slowly.
We also poured our own shower base.
It was pretty nuts.
We are pretty nuts.
But Norman approved, so that's all that matters. Then we did, like, one million water barriers for the shower area.
And we tiled of course.
This brings is up to, oh, Valentine's Day (we started all of this in December, remember) which we spent tiling, by the way.
Good grief, there was so much tiling happening in this bathroom.
Sometimes, I just had to take a break and just sit in one of our beach chairs in what was previously known as our master bedroom before we turned it into the temporary bathroom renovation staging area.
Aaaaaand more membrane layers for the shower.
Also so much painting.
Finally, we started putting furniture together.
We also tiled the shower.
That only took about 4 times longer than we expected. (Impromptu Tiling Vacation for Eddy!)
Did I mention we are nuts?!
Whew!
Well, here's what our bathroom used to look like before we embarked on all of this craziness.
And here's what it looks like now!
We even have our master bedroom back in good order!
You may have noticed, the shower is not quite finished yet. We have yet to have the glass surround installed. Like I said, this is the "Not-So-One-Week Bathroom."
